What happens on the day

Fitting an electric shower starts with checking the cable and circuit breaker that will feed it. The visit then moves through isolation, mounting, wiring and testing in that order.

  • Cable and breaker checkThe existing shower cable and consumer unit are checked first. A higher kilowatt shower draws more current, so undersized cable or a small breaker is flagged before any fitting work starts.
  • Isolation and mountingPower to the shower circuit is switched off at the consumer unit. The shower housing is fixed level to the bathroom wall and sealed against moisture.
  • Wiring and ceiling switchSupply cables are terminated into the shower's internal block, and the ceiling pull cord switch is fitted or checked so the unit can be cut off from the power for maintenance.
  • Testing before handoverPower is restored and test instruments confirm earth continuity, insulation resistance and correct operation of the residual current device, the safety switch that cuts power quickly in a fault. The work area is left clean and tidy.

Questions about electric showers

Still have a question?

Do you install electric showers in Burton upon Trent?

Yes. Re-energize Electrical installs and replaces electric showers across Burton upon Trent, covering Horninglow, Stapenhill, Winshill, Branston, Stretton, Shobnall, Brizlincote and Anglesey across DE13, DE14 and DE15.

How soon can an electric shower be booked?

Telephone calls are answered any time, day or night. A visit date for your electric shower installation in Burton upon Trent is confirmed when you book.

Can I swap my old shower for a more powerful one?

Yes. The existing cable thickness and breaker rating are checked first, because a higher kilowatt shower draws more current. If the cable is too small, a thicker cable is run from the consumer unit so it does not overheat.

Can I have an electric shower where there was not one before?

Yes. A new electric shower needs its own dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, protected by a residual current device and controlled by a ceiling pull cord switch. Adding a circuit in a bathroom is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations in England.

What size cable does an electric shower need?

Most showers rated between 8.5kW and 10.5kW need either 6mm or 10mm twin and earth cable. The right size depends on the kilowatt rating, the distance from the consumer unit and how the cable is run.
