Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out basic home automation in La Verneda i la Pau. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and start. If there's a burning smell or smoke, switch off the main breaker and open windows. If it's just a tripping differential, do not try to reset it more than 3 times.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply within 10 minutes during business hours. First and most importantly. If you smell burnt plastic or see smoke near an outlet or the electrical panel, immediately switch off the main breaker and call for emergency assistance. A burning smell in electrical systems almost always means a wire or mechanism is overheating to the point of melting the insulation. The next natural step is a fire. Switching 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 'dimmable' labelled LEDs work well with a dimmer. Old halogen lights did dim without issue but are rarely used now due to consumption.

When to call for basic home automation in La Verneda i la Pau

Night 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 real (risk of fire, electrocution, a home without power with elderly people or children), we prioritise without discussion. Another mistake is to ignore a burning smell, thinking it's something new that will settle. Modern electronic devices do not smell of burnt plastic under normal use. If they do, a component is melting. This is always a reason for an urgent call. If it trips multiple times without an identifiable cause, there is a more serious problem. Possible causes are various. Humidity in mechanism boxes (common in bathrooms and kitchens with poor seals), slow leakage in an appliance that only manifests at a certain temperature, or old, faulty embedded wiring. It could also be the differential itself, which has aged, 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 LED spotlights of 5W. We calculate during a visit based on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for a wet area like a bathroom?
LED with at least 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 in a semi-recessed profile fixed to the ceiling.
Does outdoor lighting resist 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 coastal areas.
LED warranty?
Official manufacturer's warranty 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
