Pirro Electric handles residential electrical for homeowners, businesses, and property managers in Alexandria, VA. Work is scoped on site, quoted in writing, permitted, and inspected before we call it done. Typical scope: indoor and outdoor lighting design, recessed lighting and led retrofits, and kitchen and bathroom lighting upgrades.
Old Town Alexandria's 18th- and 19th-century rowhomes often still have surface-mounted knob-and-tube remnants, undersized services, and original fuse panels behind walls that have been renovated multiple times, so any real electrical work there also has to go through the Board of Architectural Review because of the historic district. Del Ray's early-1900s bungalows and Rosemont's older single-family homes have a mix of original wiring and 1960s-era aluminum branch circuits that need remediation.
A Local Electrician Your Neighbors Already Trust
Pirro Electric is a family-owned residential electrical contractor headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Since 2003 we've wired, rewired, and upgraded homes across Montgomery County, Frederick County, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Our 5.0-star Google rating is built on doing one thing: showing up, doing it right, and standing behind the work.
Everything Inside the House
Most homeowner calls fall into a handful of buckets: a panel that's at capacity, a Level 2 EV charger install, a hot tub or pool circuit, recessed lighting in a kitchen reno, a tripping breaker that won't reset, or a ceiling fan that needs a proper junction box. We do all of it - pulled, permitted, and inspected.
If you're planning a renovation, loop us in early. Routing circuits before drywall closes saves real money and prevents the patchwork that comes from cutting a finished wall later.

What Affects the Price of Residential Electrical in Alexandria
Every quote is written after an on-site look. These are the variables that move the number:
- Scope - single fixture vs. whole-home rewire
- Existing wiring (copper vs. aluminum, accessible vs. fished)
- Service size and panel capacity
- Permit fees in your county or city
- Drywall patching needs (we leave openings clean for your painter)
Local Conditions We Work Around in Alexandria
Seminary Hill and Beverley Hills, built mostly in the 1940s-60s, commonly still run on 100-amp services. Eisenhower Valley and Potomac Yard are the newer end of the city, with mid-rise office and residential buildings that need ongoing tenant fit-outs and EV-ready garage wiring. Electrical permits in Alexandria go through the City of Alexandria, and Dominion Energy is the utility for service coordination.
