Electrician in Igualeja

We know the installations in Igualeja

Igualeja sits at the head of the Genal Valley: tiers of white houses, vegetable plots and cortijos among the chestnut woods. Many homes have installations added to bit by bit over several generations, with joints in old junction boxes and circuits nobody is quite sure where they start or end.

The valley's humidity and the autumn and winter rains lie behind many faults: RCDs that trip, junction boxes full of water and weather-worn outdoor lights. On cortijos, water pumps and long cable runs complete the list.

Typical job in Igualeja

A common case: a village house in the upper part of town where the RCD trips in every storm. The cause is a junction box on the façade with water inside and a worn patio light. Both are replaced with weatherproof fittings, the outdoor circuit is separated from the indoor ones and the fuse box is labelled so any future fault is easy to find.

Common electrical jobs in Igualeja

Damp-related faults

We trace earth leakage in buried circuits, junction boxes and outdoor points, and replace damaged parts with weatherproof fittings.

Rewiring an old house

Wiring split into circuits, a fuse box with RCDs by zone and a proper earth in thick-walled houses on several levels.

Cortijos, stores and outbuildings

Fuse boxes, lighting, sockets and supplies for tools and machinery in farm buildings and annexes.

Water pumps and tanks

Circuits and protection for well pumps, pressure sets and tanks, with protected start-up and cable of adequate size.

Tips for houses in the upper Genal

1
If the RCD trips every time it rains, don't keep resetting it: it's a sign of damp in a circuit. Isolate and inspect it before the damage gets worse.
2
Sockets and lights on patios, terraces and vegetable plots must be rated for outdoor use. An indoor wall light on an exposed façade will eventually cause problems.
3
If the house has a stable, wine store or annexes, ideally each should have its own protected circuit in the fuse box, so a fault there doesn't black out the whole home.

Frequently asked questions

Can you reach cortijos accessed by a dirt track?

Yes. When you request a quote through the form, tell us what the access is like and, if you can, add a location or photos of the fuse box so we can prepare the visit properly.

Can you fit surge protection against storms?

Yes. We install surge protectors in the fuse box, which is highly recommended in exposed houses or those with sensitive equipment such as pumps, routers or induction hobs.

Can you replace just the fuse box without redoing the whole installation?

In many cases, yes. We check the condition of the wiring and the earth and tell you clearly whether a new fuse box is enough or whether some circuits should be renewed.

Do you offer emergency call-outs in Igualeja?

Yes. In Igualeja we handle electrical emergencies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. Leave your phone number in the form and we call you back straight away; the price is confirmed before we go.
