    Panel Upgrades & Heavy-Ups in Arlington, VA - Pirro Electric

    Homeowners and property managers across Arlington, Virginia rely on Pirro Electric for panel upgrades. Arlington's Rosslyn-Ballston and Crystal City/Pentagon City corridors are lined with 1960s-80s high-rises and office towers, where the recurring work is tenant fit-outs, feeder and panel capacity checks, and lighting retrofits every time a unit or office turns over. Single-family neighborhoods like Lyon Park, Cherrydale, and pockets near Courthouse are full of brick colonials from the 1940s-60s with aluminum branch wiring and undersized 60-100 amp services that predate central air and EV chargers. Shirlington and Clarendon's restaurant and retail spaces also generate a steady stream of tenant build-out electrical as storefronts change hands. Arlington County handles permitting here, and Dominion Energy is the utility for service upgrades and new connections.

    From Ballston, Clarendon, Courthouse, and Crystal City, our licensed electricians deliver the same permitted, code-compliant work that has kept us in business across the DMV since 2003. 200-amp upgrades, heavy-ups, sub-panels, and Federal Pacific & Zinsco replacements - done to code and inspected.

    "If you're thinking of going with Pirro - do it. You won't be sorry. I run a medium-sized HOA and wouldn't use any other company for our electric."
