Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out basic home automation in El Putxet i el Farró. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and begin. If it trips multiple times without an identifiable cause, there is a more serious problem. Potential causes are varied. Humidity in mechanism boxes (common in bathrooms and kitchens with poor seals), a slow earth leakage in an appliance that only manifests at a certain temperature, or an embedded cable in poor condition due to age. It could also be the aging residual current device itself, which has lost sensitivity and trips with any micro-disturbance.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. It starts with a technical visit from an authorised electrician who diagnoses the electrical panel and the installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect if there are existing earth leakages. They provide a fixed quote with a breakdown of items.

When to call for basic home automation in El Putxet i el Farró

First and foremost, if you smell burning plastic or see smoke near a socket or the electrical panel, immediately switch off the main circuit breaker 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 its insulation. The next natural step is a fire. Switching off the main breaker cuts the power and allows time for the technician to arrive without further damage. If the residual current device 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 the components. Locate the suspicious appliance by disconnecting them one by one, and if you cannot find the cause, call an electrician. Earth leakage can be due to a faulty appliance, humidity in a mechanism box, or degraded wiring. If there is a burning smell or smoke, switch off the main breaker and open windows. If it's just a tripping residual current device, do not insist on resetting it more than 3 times.

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 5W LED spotlights. We calculate on-site based on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for a wet area like a bathroom?
LED with a minimum of 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 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 in 1-2 years on the seafront.
LED warranty?
Official manufacturer's warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
