How fast can you attend an electrical emergency in Barcelona?

The service is available 24 hours. Arrival time depends on the time, area and active call-outs; we prioritise faults involving risk and confirm the estimate before travelling.

What do I do if the RCD trips and will not reset?

Switch off all the small circuit breakers, reset the RCD and switch the breakers back on one by one. The circuit that makes it trip again is the faulty one: leave it off and the rest of the house will have power. Then contact us to locate and repair the leak.

Do you charge a call-out fee for emergencies?

Before travelling we explain how the service works and what costs apply to your case. No surprises: any amount is communicated and accepted before we start.

Do you cover weekends and public holidays?

Yes, the service is available at weekends and on public holidays. We confirm arrival time for each request. If there is smoke, sparks or a fire risk, switch off the power if safe and call 112.

There is a burning smell near a socket. What should I do?

Unplug the appliance if it is safe to do so, switch off that circuit's breaker (or the main switch if unsure) and stop using the socket. It is a serious warning of a faulty connection or overload: contact us to have it checked as soon as possible.

What electrical problem do you have right now?

These signs help you describe the situation but do not replace an on-site inspection. Include your town, postcode and whether the issue affects the whole property or one area.

Total or partial power cut

Without opening or dismantling the panel, check whether neighbours or common areas have also lost power. If only your installation is affected, there may be an internal fault.

The RCD trips and will not stay on

Do not keep resetting it. Unplug appliances only if it is safe to do so and explain what was running when the fault appeared.

Sparks, smoke, a burning smell or a hot panel

Do not handle the installation. If there is fire, heavy smoke or danger to people, leave the property if it is safe and call 112 before contacting the electrician.
