Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out basic home automation in Sarrià. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and begin. First and foremost: if you smell burning plastic or see smoke near a plug or the electrical panel, immediately switch off the main breaker in the panel and call for emergency assistance. The smell of burning in electrical systems almost always signifies a wire or mechanism overheating to the point of melting its insulation. The next natural step is a fire. Switching off the main breaker cuts the power, allowing time for a technician to arrive without further damage.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond within 10 minutes during business hours. It starts with a technical visit from an authorised electrician who diagnoses the panel and installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect any existing earth leakages. You'll receive a fixed quote with an itemised breakdown.

When to call for basic home automation in Sarrià

If your RCD (residual current device) is constantly tripping, you have an earth leakage somewhere in the installation. Do not reset it more than three times consecutively. Each attempt puts extra strain on the components. Locate the suspected appliance by unplugging them one by one, and if you don't find the cause, call an electrician. Earth leakage can be due to a faulty appliance, moisture in a switch box, or degraded cabling. If it trips multiple times without an identifiable cause, there is a more serious problem. Potential causes are several. Moisture in switch boxes (common in bathrooms and kitchens with poor seals), a slow leakage in an appliance that only manifests at a certain temperature, or old, damaged recessed cabling. It could also be an aged RCD itself, which has lost sensitivity and trips with any micro-disturbance. Another mistake is ignoring the smell of burning, thinking it's something new that will settle down. Modern electronic devices do not smell of burning plastic under normal use. If they do, a component is melting. This is always a reason for an urgent call.

Frequently asked questions

How many spotlights do I need in my living room?
For a living room of 20 m², 3,000 total lumens distributed across 6-10 5W LED spotlights. We calculate on-site based on ceiling height and usage.
LED or halogen for a wet area like a bathroom?
LED with a minimum of IP44 protection. Halogen in wet areas is dangerous 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). Standard ones corrode within 1-2 years in coastal areas.
LED warranty?
