It starts with a technical visit from an authorised electrician who diagnoses the fuse box and installation.

The residual-current device (RCD) protects people. It detects the difference between the current entering and leaving the installation. If this difference exceeds 30 milliamperes, it means something or someone is leaking current to earth, and the RCD trips in less than 30 milliseconds. This is what prevents electrocution when a fault in the washing machine causes the metal casing to become live, and you touch it. The fuse box has ceramic fuses instead of modern MCBs. The fuse box lacks an RCD or only has one main RCD protecting all circuits. RCDs trip frequently for no apparent reason, indicating they are worn out. The fuse box has fewer than 4-5 circuits for an entire home. The regulation requires a minimum of 5 circuits (lighting, general outlets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The second service is plumbing in homes with old installations. Replacement of lead pipes when they appear, bathroom renovations that maintain the original layout or modernise it according to the client's preference, installation of modern electric water heaters. For some houses with a rear gallery, we also work on the rainwater drainage system, which can cause problems during heavy rainfall.

Running a new cable through a forty-centimetre-thick ancient masonry wall is not the same as running it through a plasterboard partition. Here, technicians need to know the city and bring the right equipment: long drills, SDS-MAX bits, heavy-duty rotary hammers, because without them, an installation that might take a morning in another city could take two days if you lack the correct tools. Technically, this means we almost exclusively work in bungalows with similar installations. The same model of electrical panel is repeated across dozens of homes, the same type of electric water heater installed by the original developer, the same air conditioning from the 2000s now in its second life. For an electrician or plumber, this is a huge advantage; diagnosis is faster, and common parts are kept in stock. The total intervention time per fault is reduced. The most requested service is replacing electric water heaters at the end of their useful life. La Herrada bungalows were built between the 90s and 2000s with 100 or 150-litre water heaters that are now worn out after twenty or twenty-five years with hard water. Replacement with a new model from a quality brand, Junkers, Cointra, Edesa, with a sacrificial anode to extend its lifespan. This is a half-day job per unit.

The price for an electric vehicle charger in Sant Martí typically ranges between €57 and €1008 as a guideline. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time, and we always finalise it after seeing photos or —if you prefer— after an on-site visit, with no obligation. In the area, the market average for similar jobs is around €140; we are usually below that when the property's condition allows.
