Pirro Electric handles residential electrical for homeowners, businesses, and property managers in Fairfax, 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.
Fairfax's huge stock of 1970s-80s single-family homes and townhomes in areas like Fair Oaks, Oakton, and neighborhoods near Fairfax City carries a lot of aluminum branch wiring, original Federal Pacific panels, and 100-amp services that are now overloaded by EVs, added HVAC, and home offices. Old Town Fairfax has an older core of homes that mix knob-and-tube remnants with later aluminum-era rewiring, so it's not unusual to find both problems in one house.
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 Fairfax
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 Fairfax
Commercial stretches along Route 50 and Route 29, plus the Mosaic District area near Merrifield, generate steady tenant fit-out and lighting retrofit work as retail and office space turns over. Fairfax County issues most electrical permits here, with Dominion Energy as the utility for the majority of the county and NOVEC serving parts of western Fairfax, so we confirm which utility applies before scheduling service work.
