Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out basic home automation in Ripollet. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and begin. Another mistake is to ignore a burning smell, thinking it's something new that will settle. Modern electronic devices do not smell of burning plastic in normal use. If they do, a component is melting. It is always a cause for an urgent call.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours. To add a new socket where there wasn't one before, there are two approaches. The first is chasing. Cutting a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, running the cable through it, and closing the channel with plaster. This is the cleanest visually but involves minor building work and repainting the wall. Timeframe: 4-6 hours plus wall repair. Changing a standard switch to a dimmer switch requires first checking that the luminaire is compatible. Standard LED bulbs are often not dimmable. Only LEDs labeled 'dimmable' work well with a dimmer. Old halogens dim without issue but are rarely used anymore due to consumption.

When to call for basic home automation in Ripollet

Night service (8 pm to 8 am) and 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, home without power with elderly people or children), we prioritise without question. If there is a burning smell or smoke, turn off the main switch and open windows. If it's just a tripping differential, do not try to reset it more than 3 times. First and most importantly. If you smell burning plastic or see smoke near a socket or the electrical panel, immediately turn off the main switch on the panel and call emergency services. A burning smell in electricity almost always means a cable or mechanism is overheating to the point of melting insulation. The next natural step is fire. Turning off the main switch cuts the power and allows time for the technician to arrive without further damage.

Materials and brands

For a complete smart home lighting system programmed by scenes, it can be integrated with Google Home or Alexa for voice control. We configure it during the visit. It is one of the upgrades with the highest impact on quality of life for a lower real investment. Official manufacturer's warranty (3-5 years) plus our labour coverage. LED strips for indirect lighting, very popular in modern renovations. They are glued into an aluminium profile recessed in the wall or ceiling and provide a soft, continuous light perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. We work with quality strips with a high colour rendering index, not cheap Chinese strips that give an unpleasant cold light.

Frequently asked questions

How many spotlights do I need in my living room?
For a 20 m² living room, 3,000 total lumens distributed in 6-10 5W LED spotlights. We calculate on-site based on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for a wet area like a bathroom?
LED with a minimum 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 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). Normal ones corrode in 1-2 years on the seafront.
LED warranty?
Official manufacturer's warranty 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
