Consumer units in the Eixample: what we usually find
In older buildings in areas such as La Dreta de l'Eixample and L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, we still find porcelain fuse holders or a single switch for the whole flat. Before fitting the new unit we test the insulation of every circuit, because very old cable is something to know about before it is reconnected.
In areas such as La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample and Sant Antoni, we split the board across several RCDs so a fault in the bathroom or kitchen does not cut power to the whole home. The fridge and router usually go on a separate group from the rest.
With over 20 years in electrical installations, we replace the board methodically and leave the hallway clean and tidy. Nearby areas we also cover: Gràcia, Sant Martí and Ciutat Vella.

Frequently asked questions
01Consumer unit replacement in the Eixample: which areas do you cover?
We work in the Eixample in areas such as La Dreta de l'Eixample, L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample, Sant Antoni, La Sagrada Família and El Fort Pienc, and also nearby: Gràcia, Sant Martí and Ciutat Vella.
02Can the consumer unit be replaced without rewiring?
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.
