Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We provide basic home automation services in Sitges. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and then start. These two components are found 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 a single 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 panel and installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect existing earth leakages. They provide a fixed quote with a breakdown of costs.

When to call for basic home automation in Sitges

The Residual Current Device (RCD) protects people. It detects the difference between the current entering and leaving the installation. If this difference exceeds 30 milliamps, it means something or someone is diverting current to earth, and the RCD cuts power 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 panel has ceramic fuses instead of modern MCBs. The panel lacks an RCD or has only one main one protecting all circuits. The RCD trips frequently without apparent cause, indicating it's old. The panel has fewer than 4-5 circuits for an entire home. Regulations require a minimum of 5 circuits (lighting, general outlets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The panel is overloaded and cannot accommodate additional circuits for electric car chargers or other modern equipment. ● RCD trips constantly ● Burning smell near an outlet or the panel ● Sparking when plugging in an appliance ● Lights flickering for no apparent reason ● No power in an entire room ● Heat on the wall near the electrical panel

Materials and brands

For a complete home with smart lighting programmed by scenes, integration with Google Home or Alexa for voice control is possible. We configure this during the visit. It's one of the upgrades with the greatest impact on quality of life for a relatively low investment. Manufacturer's official warranty (3-5 years) plus our coverage on labour. 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 work with quality strips featuring a high colour rendering index, not the cheap Chinese strips that emit 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 lumens total distributed across 6-10 5W LED spotlights. We calculate on-site based on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for a damp area like a bathroom?
LED with IP44 protection minimum. Halogen is dangerous in wet areas due to heat and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed in a plasterboard ceiling?
Yes, recessed in an aluminium profile during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already closed, it's installed in 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 within 1-2 years on the front line.
LED warranty?
Manufacturer's official warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
