Main information
Buildings and housing type
This is the district with the oldest building stock in the city: historic buildings in the Gothic Quarter, El Raval and Barceloneta, many with electrical systems upgraded in stages over the decades and switchboards that coexist with older wiring runs.
Local retail and activity
High density of tourist venues, hospitality businesses, short-stay accommodation and street-level shops, with installations under intensive use.
Common electrical issues in the area
Switchboards that fall short of current appliance demand, old branch circuits, and shared installations in buildings with several overlapping past renovations.
Frequently asked questions
Do older flats in the Gothic Quarter or El Raval need more frequent inspections?
Buildings with original old wiring often have sections that no longer match current consumption. Before any renovation it's worth checking the real state of the switchboard and wiring.
Do you work in hospitality venues or tourist accommodation?
Yes, we account for the intensive use typical of these venues (kitchens, air conditioning, variable occupancy) when scoping the work.
What if my building is a protected heritage building?
We confirm on site: in protected buildings the electrical work has to be compatible with aesthetic or structural restrictions.
