How we replace consumer units in Ciutat Vella
In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, the board usually sits in a recess by the front door that is too small for modern protection devices. We enlarge the recess or fit a surface-mounted enclosure, and agree the time of the power cut within the building's hours.
When the change is finished in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera, we test every RCD with a tester, measure the earth and leave a printed circuit chart on the board door. The wall around the enclosure is made good and ready for painting.
We visit, open your current board and give you a detailed written quote; a site manager coordinates the change and we agree the time of the power cut with you. We also work in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

Yes, if the wiring is in good condition. We test its insulation first; if any circuit fails, we point it out in the quote so you can decide what to do with it.
03What does a surge protection device do?
It cuts the supply when a voltage spike arrives from the grid or a storm, protecting the fridge, boiler, computer and other connected equipment.
04Will I be without power during the work?
Only while the old unit is disconnected and the new one is connected. We agree the time of the cut with you and leave everything working before we go.
