Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out basic home automation in La Palma de Cervelló. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and then start. If the RCD trips repeatedly without an identifiable cause, there's a more serious problem. There are several potential causes. Moisture in junction boxes (common in bathrooms and kitchens with poor seals), a slow leakage in an appliance that only manifests when it reaches a certain temperature, or degraded embedded wiring due to age. It could also be the RCD itself that's old and has lost sensitivity, tripping with any minor disturbance.

How we work

Call us, text us on WhatsApp, or request a quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. Start with a technical visit from an authorised electrician who will diagnose the fuse box and installation. They will measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect any existing earth leakages. They will provide a fixed quote with a breakdown of costs.

When to call for basic home automation in La Palma de Cervelló

If the RCD is tripping 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 disconnecting them one by one, and if you don't find the cause, call an electrician. The earth leakage could be due to a faulty appliance, moisture in a junction box, or degraded wiring. 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 and call emergency services. The smell of burning in electrical systems almost always means a wire or component is overheating to the point of melting the insulation. The next natural step is a fire. Turning off the main breaker cuts the power and gives the technician time to arrive before further damage occurs. If there's a burning smell or smoke, turn off the main breaker and open windows. If it's just an RCD tripping, don't try to reset it more than 3 times.

Official manufacturer's warranty on the parts, plus our guarantee on the labour. Manufacturer's official warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions. LED strips for indirect lighting, very popular in modern renovations. They are adhered into an aluminium profile recessed into the wall or ceiling, providing a soft, continuous light ideal for living rooms and bedrooms. We use quality strips with a high colour rendering index, not cheap Chinese strips that emit unpleasant cold light.

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 depending on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for a wet area like a bathroom?
LED with a minimum IP44 rating. Halogen is dangerous with water due to heat and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed in plasterboard ceilings?
Yes, recessed into an aluminium profile during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already closed, it's installed in a semi-recessed profile attached to the ceiling.
Does outdoor lighting resist salt spray?
Only with an IP65 rating or higher and suitable materials (stainless steel, UV-treated plastic). Standard ones corrode in 1-2 years when exposed to sea spray.
LED warranty?
Manufacturer's official warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
