How we work

Changing a standard switch to a dimmer switch requires first checking if the light fitting is compatible. Standard LED bulbs are often not dimmable. Only LEDs labelled as dimmable work well with a dimmer. Old halogen bulbs are easily dimmable but are rarely used now due to energy consumption. To add a new socket where there wasn't one, there are two approaches. The first is creating a conduit. This involves cutting a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, running the cable through it, and then filling the channel with plaster. It's the most visually neat option but requires minor building work and repainting the wall. Timeline: 4-6 hours plus wall repair. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours.

When to call for light points in Sant Martí

Many of our clients live in Northern Europe and own an apartment on the Costa Blanca for rent or holiday use. When an electrical problem occurs while the flat is rented or has seasonal tenants, they need someone trustworthy who can manage the repair without the owner needing to be present. Fuse box upgrades are the most frequent job in the area. Apartment blocks from the 80s and 90s, which are most common in Torrevieja and its surroundings, have fuse boxes with old circuit breakers that no longer meet current regulations and trip easily when connecting modern appliances with higher consumption. Replacing the entire fuse box with an updated one featuring a new RCD and circuit breakers is a half-day job that solves years of problems. The fuse box has ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers. The fuse box lacks an RCD or only has a main one protecting all circuits. RCDs trip frequently without apparent cause, indicating they are old. The fuse box has fewer than 4-5 circuits for an entire home. Regulations require a minimum of 5 circuits (lighting, general sockets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The fuse box is overloaded and has no space for additional circuits to add electric car chargers or other modern equipment.

Indicative pricing

The price for light points in Sant Martí typically ranges from €66 to €1053 as a guideline. The final cost depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always finalise this after reviewing photos or —if you prefer— an on-site visit, with no obligation. In this area, the market average for similar jobs is around €140; we usually come in lower if the property's condition allows. Yes, we perform complete checks with a written report. If the installation needs updating to comply with current REBT regulations, we will inform you with a detailed quote. As with all our services, the quote is free and provided before any work begins. For a reference: Changing a standard fuse box in a two-bedroom flat usually takes between 3 and 6 hours of labour plus materials. Installing a new socket in a wall with conduit takes 1 to 2 hours. A complete installation check with a written report typically takes half a day.
