Choosing An Electric Shower
Here’s how to choose the best type of electric shower for your bathroom:
We can help you choose a shower: Depending on your water pressure and current electrical wiring, we can fit up to a 10.5kW electric shower. A 10.5kW electric shower requires a heavy duty electric cable, a minimum water pressure of 1.5 bar and a flow rate of 11 litres per minute for best performance. If you’re not sure what you have, contact us and we can help!
Upgrade from a mixer shower: If you currently have a mixer shower (one which uses both hot and cold water), then we can potentially upgrade you to an electric shower, meaning you no longer rely on a hot water storage tank. This can be really useful if you have a large household, that’s always running out of hot water come shower time! This depends on your current wiring, and we may need to install a new, thicker, higher capacity cable to your bathroom.
Upgrade from a thermostatic shower: Thermostatic showers normally have a bar in the middle with a knob at either end. One to control the temperature, and one to control the flow. They use your boiler to provide hot water.
Electric Shower Benefits
Just some of the benefits of having an electric shower installed are:
Instant hot water – Electric showers heat water on demand, so you get instant hot water without waiting for a tank to fill up.
Energy and water efficiency – Electric showers only heat the water you use, which can be more energy-efficient than heating an entire water tank. They also typically use less water per minute than other shower types.
No more scalds – Electric showers have built-in heating, so you won’t run out of hot water if someone turns a tap on elsewhere in your home.
Only require cold water - Electric showers only need a cold-water supply, which is great news if you currently have weak pressure hot water! There’s nothing worse than a shower which comes out like a dribble!
Great if your boiler breaks - If your heating system breaks down, you can still have a hot shower.
