🚿 What is an Electric Shower?

An electric shower is a type of shower that heats water on demand using electricity. Unlike mixer or power showers, which rely on your boiler or stored hot water, electric showers work independently of your central heating system—making them ideal for busy households or properties with low water pressure.

🔍 UK Electric Shower Ratings: What to Know

Electric showers in the UK are typically rated by kW (kilowatts) – the higher the rating, the more powerful and consistent the water temperature and flow will be. Common options include:

7.5kW – 8.5kW – Ideal for smaller households or low-pressure systems
9.5kW – 10.5kW – Powerful showers with better temperature control and flow
Top-Rated Brands:
- Mira Sport Max 10.8kW – Known for advanced pressure-stabilised temperature control
- Triton T80Z Fast-Fit 9.5kW – A favourite for easy replacement and long lifespan
- Aqualisa Quartz 10.5kW – Stylish, efficient, and built to last

⚠️ Common Electric Shower Problems

🔌 Faulty Pull Cord Switches

One of the most common issues we see in Glasgow homes is a broken shower pull cord. Over time, these switches can fail due to:

Loose or burnt contacts
Worn internal components
Overloading due to high-kW showers
Cheap or outdated fittings

We carry high-quality 45A pull cord switches and can replace faulty ones quickly, often same-day.

💧 Tripping Circuit Breakers or RCDs

Electric showers draw a lot of power, and if your shower circuit isn't up to spec, you may experience frequent tripping. We can:

Check your consumer unit (fuse board)
Ensure the correct MCB/RCD is fitted
Upgrade your circuit to meet 18th Edition regulations

👷 What's Involved in a Shower Installation?

When installing an electric shower, our team will:

Assess your current electrics – We’ll check your fuse board, cable size, and circuit rating.
Ensure water & electric separation – All work meets Part P electrical safety regulations.
Install the shower unit and wiring – We fit directly to manufacturer guidelines.
Test & certify – Full electrical testing and documentation provided.

We’ll also advise if you need a separate water feed or if your current setup is compatible with the new unit.
