Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We install new lighting points in Centre (Hospitalet). We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and get started. The residual current device (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 cuts off power in less than 30 milliseconds. This prevents electrocution when a washing machine fault causes its metal casing to become live and you touch it.

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 by a certified electrician who diagnoses the electrical panel and installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect existing earth leakages. You receive a fixed quote with a breakdown per item.

When to call for new lighting points in Centre (Hospitalet)

These two components are 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 the same circuit or if two wires touch due to a fault, the MCB trips and cuts power. Its function is to protect the installation's cables and prevent fires. The panel has ceramic fuses instead of modern MCBs. The panel has no RCD or only one general RCD protecting all circuits. RCDs trip frequently for no apparent reason, indicating they are aged. The panel has fewer than 4-5 circuits for an entire home. The standard is to have at least 5 circuits (lighting, general sockets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The panel is saturated and cannot accommodate more circuits for electric car chargers or other modern equipment. Electrical panels are the most frequent job in the area. Apartment blocks from the 80s and 90s, which make up the majority in Torrevieja and its surroundings, have panels with old MCBs that no longer comply with current regulations and trip easily when modern, higher-consumption appliances are connected. Replacing the entire panel with an updated one featuring new RCDs and MCBs is a half-day job that solves years of problems.

Yes, we conduct comprehensive inspections with a written report. If the installation needs upgrading to comply with the current REBT, we will inform you with a detailed quote.
Do you handle electrical emergencies at night?
Yes, electricians are available 24 hours for emergencies. A tripped residual current device, a short circuit, or a fault that leaves a home without power will be responded to within 2 hours in key areas.
Do you work with homeowner associations?
