Equipping your home: plain guides, with real prices

Keeping an eye on an empty house, spending less on electricity, living longer in your own home. Guides written for people who live on the Costa Blanca or keep a second home here, with every price quoted from its source.

We are HolaSignal and our job is mobile signal inside homes in the Vega Baja. These guides exist for a simple reason: almost everything that is watched or controlled remotely today (a camera, a water sensor, the air conditioning) needs a connection that works, and many houses around here do not have one. Here we set out what is worth knowing before you buy: what exists, what it costs on the market and what the rules say.

To be clear: we do not install solar panels, electrics or alarms, and we have no partner installers. If you write to us from one of these guides, your message reaches us and we are the ones who reply.

Keeping an eye on the house while you are away

Everything that alerts your phone needs the house to stay connected. That is our trade.

Home cameras Wifi, 4G or solar, where the footage is stored and what the Spanish data authority requires. With prices. Water leaks Water sensor and a valve that shuts itself: the most common home insurance claim, stopped in time. Damp in a closed house What humidity is normal under Spanish building rules, a sensor that alerts you and what a dehumidifier uses. Smart home for expats The minimum kit to watch the house from your home country for about 140 €, and what comes first. Remote AC control Maker's wifi module or universal controller: switch on the AC before you arrive, for 65 to 103 €. Connected pool Filter pump, variable speed pump and water sensors: what it uses and what can be controlled from afar.

Spending less on energy

Panels, batteries, air conditioning and electric cars, with the sums done.

Saving electricity Calculator: what each appliance costs you a year and how much you save by lowering your contracted power. Solar panels Installed price, real output in Rojales according to PVGIS, surplus, paperwork and a calculator. Home battery What each stored kWh really saves, what the modules cost and the sum you need to do. Efficient air conditioning SEER, the label, the price of a fitted split and the 7 % per degree worked out by IDAE. EV charger Price of a fitted wallbox, the ITC-BT-52 rule, the closed MOVES grant and the 15 % deduction. Energy certificate When it is compulsory, what it costs according to OCU and how it differs from an audit.

Growing older in your own home

Telecare, SOS buttons and adaptations: public, private and what it costs.

Telecare The public Generalitat service, Red Cross and private telecare: who is entitled and what it costs. SOS button Watches and pendants with a SIM and fall detection: prices, fees and the limit that is signal. Adapting the home Bath to shower, stair lift, and the Valencian 50 % deduction for accessibility works.
