Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We provide basic home automation services in Lliçà d'Amunt. We visit your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start work. These two components are in all modern electrical panels but protect different things. The miniature circuit breaker (MCB), also called an automatic switch, protects against overloads and short circuits. If you connect too many appliances to one circuit or if two wires touch due to a fault, the MCB trips and cuts the power. Its function is to protect the installation's wiring and prevent fires.

It starts with a technical visit from an authorised electrician who diagnoses the consumer unit and installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect existing earth leaks. They provide a fixed quote with a breakdown of costs.

When to call for basic home automation in Lliçà d'Amunt

The residual-current device (RCD) protects people. It detects the difference between the current entering and leaving the installation. If this difference exceeds 30 milliamperes, it means something or someone is earthing current, and the RCD trips in less than 30 milliseconds. This is what prevents electrocution when a fault in the washing machine causes the metal casing to become live and you touch it. The consumer unit has ceramic fuses instead of modern MCBs. The unit lacks an RCD or only has a main one protecting all circuits. RCDs trip frequently without apparent cause, indicating they are old. The unit has fewer than 4-5 circuits for a whole home. The standard is a minimum of 5 circuits (lighting, general sockets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The unit is saturated and cannot accommodate more circuits for adding electric car chargers or other modern equipment. Short circuits, tripping RCDs, burning smells, no power in the property. Response in under 2 hours.

Materials and brands

For a complete 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 upgrades with the biggest impact on quality of life for a relatively low investment. Manufacturer's official warranty (3-5 years) plus our labour coverage. LED strips for indirect lighting are very popular in modern renovations. They are adhered into a recessed aluminium profile in the wall or ceiling, providing a soft, continuous light perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. We use quality strips with a high colour rendering index, not cheap Chinese strips that emit an unpleasant cold light.
