At J.A.G. Alcaide we focus our electrical work on three areas:
Electrical installations and modifications to existing installations
The first area is new installations, which account for a large part of our company’s activity in this sector. We carry out installations in private homes, residents’ associations, public buildings and car parks, and we install charging points for electric vehicles, emergency lighting, LEDs… We always work to current regulations and look for the best solutions for the customer, tailored to their needs.
For a new electrical installation or a modification to an existing one, we follow the steps below:
What types of electrical installation do we carry out?
We work on every kind of electrical project, from a home renovation to complex industrial installations:
- Complete new electrical installations in homes and flats under renovation.
- Modification and extension of existing installations.
- Electrical installations in residents’ associations and communal areas.
- Installations in commercial premises, offices and public buildings.
- Installations in car parks and garages.
- Charging points for electric vehicles (wallboxes and communal chargers).
- Emergency lighting and signage.
- Replacement and modernisation of electrical panels.
- LED lighting installation (savings of up to 75% compared with conventional lighting).
- Installations in industrial buildings.
Maintenance and repair of electrical installations
We specialise in electrical installations and maintenance of every kind: homes, shops and industrial buildings.
Our professionals are accredited with all the licences required by the Generalitat de Catalunya’s Department of Energy and Mines, which allows us to certify and design the electrical installations we carry out.
In all our maintenance and electrical fault-finding work we use advanced detection equipment that lets us pinpoint problems accurately and without unnecessary building work:
- Thermal imaging camera with two-dimensional images to detect hot spots in panels and installations without dismantling anything.
- Electrical leakage detector for cabling with cross-sections above 240 mm².
- Circutor power analyser for harmonics and supply quality studies.
- Fluke power analyser used in preventive maintenance contracts.
This equipment and the experience of our staff allow us to carry out, with every guarantee of quality and safety, electrical maintenance as complex and extensive as that of Barcelona Zoo.
Energy advice
We advise customers with the aim of achieving maximum electrical efficiency in their installation.
Many companies and residents’ associations pay on their electricity bill for a contracted power far higher than what they actually use. With our network analysis using a power analyser, we study your installation and help you adjust the contracted power to your real consumption, which can mean significant savings on your monthly bill.
To give the best possible advice, we carry out studies with a power analyser. This can save you a great deal of money in the future, as we have seen with organisations as emblematic as the Temple of the Sagrada Família, La Salle Gràcia and Barcelona Zoo.
This analysis of the electrical network with an analyser and printer makes it possible to bring excessive contracted power down to the real power the installation needs.
In addition, combining our commitment to innovative installations with the growing focus on efficiency and energy saving, we have devoted particular attention to advising SMEs on switching their lighting to LED (savings of 75% compared with conventional lighting) and on installing capacitor banks to compensate reactive power which, since January 2010, has been a significant cost for SMEs with more than 15 kW contracted.
