Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We handle basic home automation in La Vila de Gràcia. We visit your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. If there's a burning smell or smoke, turn off the main breaker and open windows. If a circuit breaker keeps tripping, don't 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 in under 10 minutes during business hours. First and most importantly. If you smell burning plastic or see smoke near an outlet or the fuse box, immediately switch off the main breaker and call emergency services. A burning smell in electrical systems almost always means a wire or component is overheating to the point of melting its insulation. The next natural step is a fire. Switching off the main breaker cuts the power and gives the technician time to arrive without further damage.

When to call for basic home automation in La Vila de Gràcia

Another mistake is ignoring a burning smell, assuming it will go away. Modern electronic devices don't smell of burning plastic during normal use. If they do, a component is failing. It always warrants an urgent call. Night service (8 PM to 8 AM) and public holidays incur a legal surcharge on the standard hourly rate. We'll inform you before confirming the appointment. If the urgency is genuine (fire risk, electric shock, no power for elderly or children), we prioritise it without question. If a breaker trips multiple times without an obvious cause, there's a more serious problem. Possible causes include: moisture in junction boxes (common in bathrooms and kitchens with poor seals), a slow earth leakage in an appliance that only manifests when warm, or damaged wiring due to age. The breaker itself might also be faulty and have lost sensitivity, tripping on minor fluctuations.

Materials and brands

Manufacturer's official warranty on the components, plus our labour coverage. Manufacturer's official warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions. For a full home with smart lighting programmed by scenes, it can be integrated with Google Home or Alexa for voice control. We set this up during the visit. It's one of the most impactful upgrades for quality of life with a relatively low investment.

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 this on-site based on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for a wet area like a bathroom?
LED with minimum IP44 protection. Halogen is dangerous in wet areas due to heat and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed in plasterboard ceilings?
Yes, fitted into an aluminium profile during the plasterboard stage. If the plasterboard is already installed, it's fitted into 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 in 1-2 years in front-line coastal locations.
LED warranty?
Manufacturer's official warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
