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.
