The first is chasing. Opening a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, running the cable inside, and closing the chase with plaster. This is visually the tidiest but involves minor construction work and repainting the wall. Timeline: 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 'dimmable' labelled LEDs work well with a dimmer. Old halogens dim fine but are rarely used now due to their consumption.

These two components are in all modern electrical panels but protect different things. The MCB (miniature circuit breaker), also called an automatic switch, protects against overloads and short circuits. If you connect too many appliances to the same circuit or if two wires touch due to a fault, the MCB trips and cuts off the power. Its function is to protect the wiring and prevent fires. The panel has ceramic fuses instead of modern MCBs. The panel does not have an RCD (residual current device) or only has a single main one protecting all circuits. RCDs trip frequently without apparent cause, indicating they are old. The panel has fewer than 4-5 circuits for a complete home. The standard is to have a minimum of 5 circuits (lighting, general sockets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The panel is overloaded, and there's no room for more circuits to add electric car chargers or other modern equipment. The 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 diverting current to earth, and the RCD trips in less than 30 milliseconds. This is what prevents electrocution when a washing machine fault causes the metal casing to be live, and you touch it.

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. For a complete home with smart lighting programmed by scenes, it can be integrated with Google Home or Alexa for voice control. We configure this during our visit. It's one of the upgrades with the greatest impact on quality of life for a minimal actual investment.

The price for basic home automation in Terrassa typically ranges between €72 and €846. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time.

It starts with a technical visit from a certified electrician who diagnoses the panel and installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect any existing earth leakages. They provide a fixed quote with an itemised breakdown.
