Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We provide basic home automation services in La Torrassa. We visit your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and get started. Outdoor lighting for terraces, patios, and gardens. The critical factor here is resistance to salt spray and humidity. Light fixtures with an IP65 protection rating or higher are mandatory in coastal areas. Standard light fixtures without IP protection will last only 1-2 years on the seafront before corrosion renders them unusable.

How we work

Call us, text us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. To add a new socket where there wasn't one before, there are two approaches. The first is chasing. We cut a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, run the cable inside, and then repair the channel with plaster. This is the most visually clean option but involves minor building work and repainting the wall. Duration: 4-6 hours plus wall repair. Changing a standard switch to a dimmer switch requires first checking that the light fitting is compatible. Standard LED bulbs are often not dimmable. Only LEDs labelled 'dimmable' work well with a dimmer. Older halogen bulbs dim without issue but are rarely used now due to their high energy consumption.

When to call for basic home automation in La Torrassa

● A circuit breaker that trips constantly ● A burning smell near a socket or the fuse box ● Sparks when plugging in an appliance ● Lights flickering for no apparent reason ● No power in an entire room ● The wall near the electrical panel feels hot Short circuits, tripping RCDs, burning smells, loss of power to the property. Response in under 2 hours. These two components are in all modern fuse boxes but protect different things. The miniature circuit breaker (MCB), also called an automatic switch, protects against overloads and short circuits. If you connect too many appliances to one circuit or if two wires touch due to a fault, the MCB trips and cuts the power. Its function is to protect the installation's wiring and prevent fires.

Frequently asked questions

How many spotlights do I need in my living room?
For a 20 m² living room, 3,000 lumens total spread across 6-10 5W LED spotlights. We calculate on-site based on ceiling height and usage.
LED or halogen for damp areas like bathrooms?
LED with minimum IP44 protection. Halogen is problematic due to heat and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed in plasterboard ceilings?
Yes, in an integrated aluminium profile during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already installed, we use a semi-recessed profile attached to the ceiling.
Does outdoor lighting resist salt spray?
Only with IP65 protection rating or higher and suitable materials (stainless steel, UV-treated plastic). Standard ones corrode within 1-2 years on the seafront.
What is the warranty on LEDs?
Manufacturer's official warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs typically last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
