Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do basic home automation in Argentona. We visit the property, assess the job, provide a clear price, and then begin. First and foremost: if you smell burning plastic or see smoke near a plug or the electrical panel, immediately switch off the main circuit breaker at the panel and call for urgent assistance. A burning smell in electrical systems almost always means a cable or mechanism is overheating to the point of melting insulation. The next natural step is a fire. Switching off the main breaker cuts the power, allowing time for a technician to arrive without further damage.

It starts with a technical visit from a certified electrician who diagnoses the panel and installation. They measure the actual cable gauge, identify overloaded circuits, and detect any existing earth leakages. You'll receive a fixed quote with a breakdown of items.

When to call for basic home automation in Argentona

If your differential switch trips constantly, you have an earth leakage somewhere in the installation. Do not reset it more than three times consecutively. Each attempt puts extra strain on the components. Locate the suspicious appliance by unplugging them one by one, and if you don't find the cause, call an electrician. Earth leakage can be due to a faulty appliance, moisture in a mechanism box, or degraded wiring. If it trips multiple times without an identifiable cause, there is a more serious problem. Potential causes are varied. Moisture in mechanism boxes (common in bathrooms and kitchens with poor seals), slow leakage in an appliance that only manifests at a certain temperature, or old, faulty recessed wiring. It could also be an aged differential itself, which has lost sensitivity and trips with any micro-disturbance. Night service (8 pm to 8 am) and public holidays incur a legal surcharge on the normal hourly rate. We will inform you before confirming the intervention. If the emergency is real (risk of fire, electrocution, home without power with elderly people or children), we prioritise without question.

Materials and brands

Official manufacturer's warranty (3-5 years) plus our coverage on labour. LED strips for indirect lighting are very popular in modern renovations. They are glued into an aluminium profile recessed into the wall or ceiling and provide a soft, continuous light that is perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. We work with quality strips with a high colour rendering index, not cheap Chinese strips that give an unpleasant cold light. For a complete home with smart lighting programmed by scenes, it can be integrated with Google Home or Alexa for voice control. We configure it during our visit. This is one of the upgrades with the biggest impact on quality of life for the smallest real investment.

Frequently asked questions

How many spotlights do I need in my living room?
For a 20 m² living room, 3,000 total lumens distributed in 6-10 5W LED spotlights. We calculate on-site based on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for wet areas like bathrooms?
LED with a minimum of IP44 protection. Halogen is dangerously hot with water and consumes more energy. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed on plasterboard ceilings?
Yes, in a recessed aluminium profile during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already closed, it goes into a semi-recessed profile glued to the ceiling.
Does outdoor lighting resist salt spray?
Only with an IP65 protection rating or higher and suitable materials (stainless steel, UV-treated plastic). Normal ones corrode within 1-2 years on the coast.
LED warranty?
Official manufacturer's warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
