Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do basic home automation in La Florida. We visit your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and get started. First things first. If you smell burning plastic or see smoke near a socket or the electrical panel, immediately switch off the main breaker and call for 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 gives the technician time to arrive before further damage occurs.

The first is chasing. This involves cutting a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, running the cable through it, and then plastering over the channel. It's visually the neatest but involves some minor construction work and repainting the wall. Lead time: 4-6 hours plus wall repair.

When to call for basic home automation in La Florida

If the main breaker trips constantly, you have an earth leakage 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 suspected appliance by unplugging them one by one, and if you can't find the cause, call an electrician. Earth leakage can be caused by a faulty appliance, moisture in a junction box, or degraded wiring. If it trips multiple times without an identifiable cause, there's a more serious problem. Potential causes are numerous. Moisture in junction boxes (common in bathrooms and kitchens with poor seals), a slow leakage in an appliance that only manifests at a certain temperature, or damaged embedded wiring due to age. It could also be the breaker itself ageing and losing sensitivity, tripping with minor disturbances. Night service (8 PM to 8 AM) and public holidays incur a legal surcharge on the standard hourly rate. We will inform you before confirming the job. If the emergency is genuine (fire risk, electrocution, no electricity for elderly or children) we prioritise it without question.
