Symptoms
01 — Common problems

What can go wrong with your electrical installation.

What's usually behind each symptom and what you can check yourself while the technician is on the way. Without touching anything inside.

The RCD trips

There's usually an appliance with an earth leakage, damp in a junction box or a damaged cable. If it trips again when you switch it back on, the cause needs to be found.

In the meantime · Unplug everything and switch it back on. Then plug the appliances in one by one to see which one trips it.

The circuit breakers trip

A circuit breaker that trips usually means too much load on that circuit or a short circuit.

In the meantime · Note which appliances were on when it tripped.

Part of the home has no power

It could be a loose connection, a burnt-out switch or socket, or a circuit that has stopped working.

In the meantime · Check in the fuse box whether any switch is down.

A burning smell or sparks

It's a warning sign: there may be a connection that's overheating or a damaged cable.

In the meantime · Switch off that circuit at the fuse box and don't use it again until it's been checked.

The fuse box is old

Old fuse boxes sometimes have no RCD (the main safety trip switch) or only a few circuits. Upgrading it makes the whole home safer.

In the meantime · Take a photo of the fuse box with the cover open, without touching anything.

You want more sockets or more light

Adding light points or sockets is common in renovations and kitchen refits, using the right cable sizes and circuits.

In the meantime · Mark on a plan or on photos where you want the new points.

If there are sparks, smoke or a burning smell: switch off the main switch on the fuse box and don't touch anything. If there's a fire, call 112.

04 — Questions

Questions about electrical work.

Q.01

Do you issue electrical certificates (boletines)?

Yes, we issue the boletín (the electrical installation certificate).

Q.02

What do I do if the RCD trips and I can't switch it back on?

Unplug all your appliances and try again. If it keeps tripping, leave that circuit off and ask for it to be checked.

Q.03

When does the fuse box need replacing?

When it has no RCD, when it trips often for no reason or when you're going to extend the installation. The electrician will confirm it.

Q.04

Can you help me increase my contracted power?

Yes. The change is requested from the electricity company, but sometimes the installation has to be adapted first. If the home is more than 20 years old, a new boletín is needed.
