Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out basic home automation in El Raval. We visit the property, assess the job, provide a clear price, and get started. If your circuit breaker keeps 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 strain 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 wiring.

To add a new socket where there was nothing before, there are two approaches. The first is chasing. Opening 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. Time: 4-6 hours plus wall repair.

When to Call for Basic Home Automation in El Raval

First and most important: If you smell burning plastic or see smoke near a socket or the electrical panel, immediately switch off the main breaker on the panel and call emergency services. 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 a 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), a slow leakage in an appliance that only manifests at a certain temperature, or old, degraded embedded wiring. It could also be an aged residual current device (RCD) itself, which has lost sensitivity and trips with any micro-disturbance. Another mistake is to ignore a burning smell, thinking it's something new that will settle. Modern electronic devices do not smell of burning plastic under normal use. If they do, a component is melting. This is always a cause for an urgent call.

Frequently asked questions

How many spotlights do I need in my living room?
For a 20 m² living room, 3,000 total lumens spread 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 in wet areas 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 will be in 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.
