Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do basic home automation in Vilassar de Mar. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and then begin. Outdoor lighting for terraces, patios, and gardens. The critical factor here is resistance to salt spray and humidity. Luminaires with an IP65 protection rating or higher are essential in coastal areas. Normal luminaires without IP protection last 1-2 years on the seafront before corrosion renders them unusable.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during working hours. Changing a standard switch to a dimmer switch first requires checking that the light fitting is compatible. Standard LED bulbs are often not dimmable. Only LEDs labelled as dimmable work well with a dimmer. Old halogen lights do dim without issue but are hardly used now due to consumption. To add a new socket where there was none, there are two approaches. 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 the cleanest visually but involves minor building work and repainting the wall. Timeframe: 4-6 hours plus wall repair.

When to call for basic home automation in Vilassar de Mar

●RCD tripping constantly ●Burning smell near a socket or the fuse box ●Spark when connecting an appliance ●Light flickering for no apparent reason ●No power in an entire room ●Heat in the wall near the electrical panel Short circuits, RCD tripping, burning smell, no power in the home. Response in less than 2 hours. The fuse box has ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers. The fuse box has no RCD or only a single main one protecting all circuits. RCDs trip frequently for no apparent reason, indicating they are old. The fuse box has fewer than 4-5 circuits for a complete home. The standard is a minimum of 5 circuits (lighting, general sockets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The fuse box is overloaded and cannot accommodate more circuits for electric car chargers or other modern equipment.

Materials and brands

Official manufacturer's warranty on the mechanism plus our coverage on labour. Official manufacturer's warranty 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LEDs last 25,000 hours under normal conditions. 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 that is perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. We work with quality strips with a high colour rendering index, not cheap Chinese strips that give 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 among 6-10 5W LED spotlights. We calculate on-site based on ceiling height and usage.
LED or halogen for wet areas like bathrooms?
LEDs with a minimum IP44 protection. Halogen is dangerous in wet areas due to temperature and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed on a plasterboard ceiling?
Yes, in an aluminium profile recessed during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already finished, it will be in a semi-recessed profile glued to the ceiling.
Does outdoor lighting withstand salt spray?
Only with an IP65 protection rating or higher and suitable 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.
