Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We install new light points in El Carmel. We visit the property, inspect the work, provide a clear price, and get started. The electrical panel has ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers. The electrical panel has no residual current device (RCD) or only a general one that protects all circuits. RCDs trip frequently without apparent cause, which indicates they are old. The electrical panel has fewer than 4-5 circuits for a complete dwelling. The standard is a minimum of 5 circuits (lighting, general sockets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The electrical panel is overloaded, with no space for additional circuits for electric car chargers or other modern equipment.

How we work

It starts with a technical visit from an authorised electrician who diagnoses the electrical panel and installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect if there are existing earth leakages. You'll receive a fixed quote with an itemised breakdown. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during working hours. We have verified professionals available in less than 2 hours.

When to call for light points in El Carmel

These two components are found in all modern electrical panels but protect different things. The 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 circuit breaker trips and cuts the power. Its function is to protect the installation cables and prevent fires. The RCD (residual current device) protects people. It detects the difference between the current entering and leaving the installation. If this difference exceeds 30 milliamperes, it means that something or someone is leaking current to earth, and the RCD trips in less than 30 milliseconds. This is what prevents electric shock when a fault in the washing machine causes the metal casing to be live and you touch it. A legitimate concern is the privacy of data generated by these devices. Cameras send video to cloud servers, smart plugs report consumption, thermostats know when you're away. This is sensitive information worth considering.

Materials and brands

Integration is done via an app. You download the manufacturer's app, connect the device to your WiFi, and then add it as an associated device from Google Home or Alexa. Once done, you say commands like “turn off the living room light” or “raise the kitchen blind,” and it works. Almost all modern equipment integrates with Google Home and Alexa, the two dominant assistants in Spain. Apple HomeKit is more demanding with certification and limits the choice of brands. It also has its audience among iPhone users who prefer a closed ecosystem. Official manufacturer's warranty plus our coverage for installation and setup.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a complete electrical panel upgrade take?
For a standard 80-100 m² flat with 5-7 circuits, between 4 and 8 hours. For detached houses or large homes with more circuits, it can take a full day.
Is a power cut necessary?
Yes, throughout the entire intervention. We schedule it during working hours (9 am - 2 pm) to minimise disruption. If you have critical equipment, we'll coordinate it separately.
What is the 'boletín' and what is it for?
It's the official document signed by an authorised installer, certifying that the installation complies with REBT regulations. You need it for the electricity company and the insurer.
Can I add circuits without changing the entire electrical panel?
Sometimes, yes, if the existing panel has space and the general installation can support it. We'll assess this during the preliminary visit.
Do you work with authorised installers?
Yes, all interventions requiring a 'boletín' are signed by an authorised installer registered in the Valencian Community.
