How many recessed lights do I need?

For general lighting, 1 can per 25 sq ft is a good starting point. We adjust based on room use, ceiling height, and natural light.

Can you install recessed lights without tearing up the ceiling?

Usually yes - retrofit cans and wafer LEDs install through small holes from below. Some patching may still be needed for switching wires.

Are LEDs really dimmable?

Most modern LED cans are, but only with a compatible LED dimmer. We spec the dimmer to match the fixture so you don't get flicker.

Are you licensed to do recessed lighting in Potomac, MD?

Yes. Pirro Electric is fully licensed and insured to perform commercial and residential electrical work in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., including Potomac. We pull all required permits and coordinate inspections with the local jurisdiction on every job.

Do you handle aluminum wiring remediation in Potomac?

Yes. Aluminum wiring remediation is one of our specialties for multi-unit buildings, condos, and single-family homes built in the late 1960s and 1970s throughout Potomac and the broader DMV. We rewire to copper, replace outdated panels, and document everything for insurance carriers.
