Same-day · English · Español · Polski
Fault finding, repairs, consumer units, new circuits and emergency call-outs for homes, villas, holiday lets and businesses. Based in Costa Adeje, working across the whole island. You speak to the electrician who does the work. English, Español, Polski.
Call +34 690 195 750 WhatsAppVolt Electricista is the electrical side of Voltech Smart Home. The work is measured, not guessed: insulation resistance, earth continuity and RCD trip tests before and after every repair, so you know the fault is fixed and not just hidden.
South (base): Costa Adeje, Adeje, Playa Paraíso, Callao Salvaje, Armeñime, Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas, Arona, Valle San Lorenzo, Las Galletas, Costa del Silencio, Golf del Sur, San Isidro, El Médano, Granadilla, Guía de Isora, Playa San Juan, Los Gigantes.
North and metro: Santa Cruz de Tenerife, La Laguna, Tacoronte, Puerto de la Cruz, La Orotava, Los Realejos, Icod de los Vinos, Candelaria, Güímar.
No power, partial power, a breaker that will not reset, water in an installation. Made safe first, then quoted before any repair.
Emergency call-out →RCD tripping traced circuit by circuit with an insulation tester, not by guesswork or chasing plaster.
How we find faults →Old fuse boards, one RCD for the whole house, no surge protection. Rebuilt to the circuit layout of ITC-BT-25.
Consumer units →What it is, when you need one (new supply, more power, sale, rental) and what the process looks like.
Boletín explained →New circuits, lighting, A/C supplies, EV chargers, pool pumps, holiday-let checks and commercial work.
All services →KNX smart homes and CCTV at voltechsmarthome.com. Solar PV and batteries at piconsolar.com.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | How we check |
|---|---|---|
| Trips when it rains or after cleaning the terrace | Water or salt in outdoor boxes, lights or sockets | Insulation resistance test per circuit at 500 V DC |
| Trips when one appliance switches on | Earth leakage in the appliance (water heater element, washing machine, oven) | Isolate the appliance, test leakage current |
| Trips at random, several times a day | Too many circuits on one RCD, leakage adds up | Clamp leakage measurement, split circuits across RCDs |
| Main switch (ICP / IGA) trips, not the RCD | Overload: contracted power too low for A/C plus oven plus water heater | Load check against contracted power (potencia contratada) |
| Burning smell, warm socket or switch | Loose connection or undersized cable | Thermal check, torque terminals, replace damaged parts |
Most older Canarian apartments were wired with fewer circuits than today’s regulation asks for. This is the basic layout we work to when adding circuits or rebuilding a consumer unit.
| Circuit | Use | Breaker | Cable |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | Lighting | 10 A | 1.5 mm² |
| C2 | General sockets | 16 A | 2.5 mm² |
| C3 | Cooker and oven | 25 A | 6 mm² |
| C4 | Washing machine, dishwasher, water heater | 20 A | 4 mm² |
| C5 | Bathroom and kitchen sockets | 16 A | 2.5 mm² |
| C9 | Air conditioning | 25 A | 6 mm² |
Basic electrification is 5,750 W; elevated is 9,200 W and applies, for example, when air conditioning or electric heating is installed. Each 30 mA RCD protects at most five circuits.
Call or WhatsApp +34 690 195 750. We aim to be with you the same day. For emergencies we make the installation safe first and quote the repair before doing it.
Yes. We are based in Costa Adeje and cover the whole island: Santa Cruz, La Laguna, Puerto de la Cruz, La Orotava and the rest of the north included.
Yes. English, Spanish and Polish. Quotes and invoices can be in English or Spanish.
Yes. Checks between guests, fault repairs and outdoor lighting built for coastal conditions. Property managers can send jobs by WhatsApp.
Only some jobs need one: a new supply, an increase in contracted power beyond what the existing certificate covers, or a substantial modification. See boletín eléctrico; we tell you before any work starts.
Call or WhatsApp, same-day service. Costa Adeje based, all of Tenerife covered.
