Electric shower installation

An electric shower draws more power than almost anything else in the house, so it needs its own circuit sized for the shower's rating, RCD protection and an isolator you can reach. Replacing a shower with a higher-rated one often means the cable needs upgrading too.

New circuit or upgrade

Cable run from the consumer unit to the shower, sized for the rating, with a pull-cord isolator in the bathroom. Where a bigger shower is going in, the old cable is checked and replaced if it isn't up to it.

Electric showers: common questions

Can I just swap my old shower for a new one?

Only if the new shower's rating is the same or lower and the existing circuit tests fine. A more powerful shower usually needs a heavier cable.

Does a shower circuit need an RCD?

Yes. Bathroom circuits need RCD protection, and it's checked as part of the job.
