Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do basic home automation in El Besòs i el Maresme. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. First and foremost. If you smell burning plastic or see smoke near a socket or the electrical panel, immediately switch off the main breaker and call emergency services. A burning smell in electrical systems almost always means a wire or mechanism is overheating to the point of melting its insulation. The next natural step is a fire. Switching off the main breaker cuts the power and allows time for a technician to arrive without further damage.

The first is chasing. Cutting a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, running the cable inside, and closing the channel with plaster. This is the cleanest visually but involves minor construction work and repainting the wall. Timeline: 4-6 hours plus wall repair.

When to call for basic home automation in El Besòs i el Maresme

If your RCD (residual current device) is constantly tripping, you have an earth fault somewhere in the installation. Do not reset it more than three times in a row. Each attempt puts extra stress on the components. Locate the suspicious appliance by disconnecting them one by one, and if you can't find the cause, call an electrician. An earth fault can be due to a faulty appliance, moisture in a switch box, or degraded cable. If it trips several times without an identifiable cause, there is a more serious problem. Possible causes are various. Moisture in switch boxes (common in bathrooms and kitchens with poor seals), a slow earth fault in an appliance that only manifests at a certain temperature, or embedded cable in poor condition due to age. It could also be an ageing RCD 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, property without power with elderly people or children), we prioritise without question.

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 usage.
LED or halogen for wet areas like bathrooms?
LED with a minimum IP44 rating. Halogen is dangerous with water due to temperature and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed on plasterboard ceilings?
Yes, in an embedded aluminium profile during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already closed, it goes in a semi-embedded 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 in coastal areas.
