New-build electrician in La Rinconada and San José, Seville, Spain: Pago de Enmedio and Residencial Lorca

La Rinconada new build: two town centres and a new area between them

The municipality of La Rinconada, north of Seville, with about 40,176 residents, has two centres separated by farmland: the village of La Rinconada and San José de la Rinconada. Between them, Pago de Enmedio was planned as an area to join the two, with about 4,500 homes, 70 % of them subsidised. It has not been handed over in one go: it has finished phases (100 subsidised homes back in 2012), others under construction and others pending.

Over the longer term, the town plan foresees about 6,000 new homes in expansion sectors over 12 to 16 years, including three sectors in Los Labrados, in San José, of 30, 110 and 52 homes. On Calle Fundadores in San José, the average price was around 2,068 euros/m² in August 2026, 10 % more than a year earlier.

Residencial Lorca: large family houses

In San José, Residencial Lorca is on sale: a development of houses of 255 to 263 m², priced from 310,500 to 320,000 euros plus VAT. These are homes well above average size, and the electrics show it: more rooms, more space to cool and, if the family has two cars, two chargers to feed.

Making everything work together

A house this size combines several big loads: the aerothermal heat pump (aerotermia) for hot water, air conditioning throughout, the induction hob and the car charger. The risk is not that they fail but that they all run at nine on an August evening and the power limiter in the meter trips. Our approach has three parts.

1. Power calculated properly

We start from the data sheets of the appliances and your routines, and work out the potencia contratada (the maximum power in your electricity contract) you really need. Sometimes the home’s existing power is enough; other times it is worth increasing contracted power (from 70 euros for the boletín plus the distributor’s fees) or moving to three-phase if you will charge at 11 kW.

2. Load balancing and priorities

A charger with dynamic load balancing measures what the house is using and gives the car only what is left, so it can charge all night without you thinking about it. With smart thermostats (from 80 euros plus the device) you can also schedule the heat pump and air conditioning so they avoid the peaks; see our smart home section.

3. Panels working at peak demand

The heat pump and air conditioning use power exactly when the sun is out. That is why solar panels fit these houses so well: a 5 kW installation starts at 5,500 euros, with legalisation and surplus compensation, and average household savings of about 189 euros per installed kW per year. With the charger in solar mode, the car also uses the midday surplus.

The charger in a San José house

The charger goes in your garage, fed from your own fuse board, on a dedicated circuit with its protection: 800 to 1,600 euros single-phase and 1,600 to 2,800 euros three-phase. With two cars, you can fit two chargers that share the power between them, or one with two outputs. If the garage is far from the board, we install a secondary board there.

Subsidised homes in San José

Pago de Enmedio is mainly subsidised housing. In San José, the council also handed over 24 municipal rental homes on the old fairground site in July 2025. In these buildings the charger works as in any communal garage: from your own meter, through the conduit the Building Code requires, with a simple notice to the comunidad (homeowners’ association).
