Electricity keeps tripping !

Upgrading from 3.3 kw to 5.75 kw (which is what you need to do) could be quite expensive. Before Iberdrola will allow an upgrade, you will need to be in possession of a 'boletin'. This is a certificate issued by a person qualified to do so, and it basically certifies that the installation complies with the latest Spanish regulations. It is often necessary to have to do quite a lot of extra wiring and fit extra trips and new sockets etc, before the boletin can be issued. If you want, I can give you the number of an electrician who can give you a quote for everything you need, including registering the boletin with Iberdrola.

P.s. Yes! I am sure you could get an illegal upgrade (to 5.75) done for a bottle of wine (plus the cost of a bigger trip). This would probably be ok until Iberdrola come along and fit a new smart meter, because once this is in place, it will only allow 3.3 kw into the house, regardless of what size trip you have in your consumer unit.

Hi Geoff,
thanks v much for your info - much appreciated. Yes, please, can you let us have the name and details of an electrician. We live in England, but , every so often we fly over and stay in the villa, so the job isn't urgent at the mo,
Thanks Sue

There are others who will offer to do it cheaper, but you can trust Tony, and he is reliable.
