Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do basic home automation in El Clot. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and get started. If your circuit breaker constantly trips, you have an earth leakage somewhere in the installation. Do not reset it more than three consecutive times. Each attempt puts extra strain on components. Locate the suspicious appliance by unplugging them one by one, and if you can't find the cause, call an electrician. Earth leakage can be due to a faulty appliance, moisture in a switch box, or degraded wiring.

It starts with a technical visit from a certified electrician who diagnoses the panel and installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, 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 El Clot

First and foremost. If you smell burning plastic or see smoke near an outlet or the electrical panel, immediately switch off the main circuit breaker and call for emergency assistance. A burning smell in electrical systems almost always means a wire or component is overheating to the point of melting its insulation. The next natural step is a fire. Turning off the main breaker cuts the power and buys time for the technician to arrive without further damage. If it trips multiple times without an identifiable cause, there's a more serious problem. Possible causes are various: moisture in switch boxes (common in bathrooms and kitchens with poor seals), slow leakage in an appliance that only manifests at a certain temperature, or old, degraded embedded wiring. It could also be an aged differential itself, which has lost sensitivity and trips with any micro-disturbance. Another mistake is ignoring a burning smell, thinking it's something new that will settle in. Modern electronic devices do not smell of burning plastic under normal use. If they do, a component is melting. This always warrants an urgent call.

Materials and brands

Official manufacturer's warranty (3-5 years) plus our labour coverage. LED strips for indirect lighting are very popular in modern renovations. They are attached to an aluminium profile embedded in the wall or ceiling and provide a soft, continuous light 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 smart home with scene-programmed lighting, it can be integrated with Google Home or Alexa for voice control. We configure it during the visit. It's one of the upgrades with the greatest impact on quality of life for a lower 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 at least IP44 protection. Halogen is dangerously hot with water and consumes a lot of power. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed on a plasterboard ceiling?
Yes, in a recessed aluminium profile during the plasterboard installation. If the plasterboard is already closed, it goes into a semi-recessed profile fixed to the ceiling.
Does outdoor lighting withstand salt spray?
Only with an IP65 protection rating or higher and suitable materials (stainless steel, UV-treated plastic). Normal ones corrode in 1-2 years in beachfront locations.
LED warranty?
Official manufacturer's warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
