Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out basic home automation in Castelldefels. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and get started. These two components are found in all modern electrical panels but protect different things. The circuit breaker, also called an automatic switch, protects against overloads and short circuits. If you connect too many appliances to the same circuit or if two wires touch due to a fault, the circuit breaker trips and cuts the power. Its function is to protect the installation's cables and prevent fires.

It starts with a technical visit from an authorised electrician who diagnoses the panel and installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect existing earth leaks. You'll receive a fixed quote with a breakdown of items.

When to call for basic home automation in Castelldefels

The electrical panel has ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers. The panel doesn't have an RCD (residual current device) or only has a general one that protects all circuits. RCDs trip frequently without apparent cause, indicating they are old. The panel has fewer than 4-5 circuits for an entire home. The standard is to have a minimum of 5 circuits (lighting, general sockets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The panel is overloaded, and there's no room for more circuits to add electric car chargers or other modern equipment. The 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 a washing machine causes its metal casing to become live and you touch it. Short circuits, RCD trips, burning smell, no power in the house.

Frequently asked questions

How many spotlights do I need in my living room?
For a 20 m² living room, 3,000 total lumens distributed across 6-10 LED spotlights of 5W. We calculate during the visit based on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for wet areas like bathrooms?
LED with a minimum IP44 protection. Halogen is dangerous with water due to temperature and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed on a plasterboard ceiling?
Yes, in a recessed aluminium profile during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already closed, it's installed in a semi-recessed profile fixed 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 in coastal areas.
LED warranty?
Official manufacturer's warranty of 3-5 years, depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
