Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out basic home automation in Santa Eulàlia. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and get started. The electrical panel has ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers. The panel has no residual current device (RCD) or only a general one that protects all circuits. RCDs trip frequently without apparent cause, indicating they are old. The panel has fewer than 4-5 circuits for a complete home. The regulation is to have a minimum of 5 circuits (lighting, general sockets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The panel is overloaded, and there isn't room for more circuits to add electric car chargers or other modern equipment.

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 panel and the installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect any existing earth leakages. You'll receive a fixed quote with an itemised breakdown.

When to call for basic home automation in Santa Eulàlia

The residual current device (RCD) protects people. It detects the difference between the current entering and leaving the installation. If this difference exceeds 30 milliamps, it means something or someone is diverting current to earth, and the RCD cuts off in less than 30 milliseconds. This prevents electrocution when a fault in the washing machine causes the metal casing to be live and you touch it. These two components are in all modern electrical panels but protect different things. The circuit breaker, also called an automatic switch, protects against overloads and short circuits. If you connect too many appliances to the same circuit or if two cables touch due to a fault, the circuit breaker trips and cuts off power. Its function is to protect the installation's cables and prevent fires. Short circuits, tripping RCD, burning smell, no power in the house. Response in less than 2 hours.

Materials and Brands

LED strips for indirect lighting are very popular in modern renovations. They are attached to an aluminium profile recessed in the wall or ceiling and provide a soft, continuous light that is perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. We work with quality strips with a high colour rendering index, not the cheap Chinese strips that give an unpleasant cold light. Official manufacturer's warranty (3-5 years) plus our coverage on labour. For a complete house with smart lighting programmed by scenes, it can be integrated with Google Home or Alexa for voice control. We configure it during the visit. It is one of the upgrades with the greatest impact on quality of life for the smallest 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 across 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 a minimum IP44 rating. Halogen with water is dangerous due to temperature and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed in a plasterboard ceiling?
Yes, in an aluminium profile recessed during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already closed, it goes in a semi-recessed profile attached 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 within 1-2 years in front-line positions.
LED warranty?
Official manufacturer's warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
