Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do basic home automation in La Maternitat i Sant Ramon. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and get started. If there's a burning smell or smoke, switch off the main breaker and open windows. If it's just a tripping differential, don't try to switch it on more than 3 times.

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. First and most importantly. If you smell burning plastic or see smoke near an outlet or the electrical panel, immediately turn off the main breaker on the panel and call 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. Turning off the main breaker cuts the power and allows time for the technician to arrive without further damage. Changing a standard switch to a dimmer switch requires first checking that the light fixture is compatible. Standard LED bulbs are often not dimmable. Only LEDs labelled 'dimmable' work well with a dimmer. Old halogens dim without issue but are rarely used now due to consumption.

When to call for basic home automation in La Maternitat i Sant Ramon

Another mistake is ignoring a burning smell, thinking it's something new settling in. Modern electronic devices do not emit a burning plastic smell during normal use. If they do, a component is melting. This is always a cause for an urgent call. Night-time service (8 PM to 8 AM) and public holidays incur a legal surcharge on the normal hourly rate. We will inform you before confirming the intervention. If the emergency is genuine (risk of fire, electrocution, home without power with elderly people or children), we prioritise it without discussion. If it trips multiple times without an identifiable cause, there's a more serious problem. Possible causes include several factors. Humidity in mechanism boxes (common in bathrooms and kitchens with poor seals), a slow leak in an appliance that only manifests at a certain temperature, or faulty embedded wiring due to age. It could also be the aging differential itself, which has lost sensitivity and trips with any micro-disturbance.

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 usage.
LED or halogen for wet areas like bathrooms?
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 withstand salt spray?
Only with an IP65 or higher protection rating and appropriate materials (stainless steel, UV-treated plastic). Standard 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.
