We confirm that the cable cross-section matches the kilowatt rating of the shower and examine the local isolator. ### Mounting and connecting the unit The old shower unit is removed from the wall. We align the water entry and cable connections, mount the new chassis, connect plumbing and electrical terminations, and secure the shower riser rail and handset. ### Electrical testing and commissioning Power is restored to conduct live electrical tests, verifying earth continuity and RCD operation. We flush the unit, balance the temperature controls, and check for water tightness across all internal joints. ## Electric shower questions ### Can I swap an old electric shower for a more powerful model? Yes, provided the electrical cable, pull-cord isolator switch, and consumer unit breaker can support the higher kilowatt rating. If a larger cable is needed to prevent overheating, we outline the required circuit upgrade before fitting the new unit. ### Do you supply the electric shower or do I buy it? You can supply your chosen electric shower, or we can provide a replacement unit suitable for your existing water inlet and electrical cable positions. ### Is an electric shower replacement notifiable work? A like for like replacement on an existing circuit is generally not notifiable under building regulations. If a new circuit must be run from the consumer unit, that work is notifiable and is registered through our NAPIT registration. ### Will my consumer unit need changing for a new shower? Not always. If your consumer unit already has a spare circuit breaker with RCD protection capable of handling the shower load, a new board is not required. We inspect the board during our initial checks. ### What causes an electric shower to suddenly run cold? A shower running cold often indicates a failed heating element, thermal cut-out trip, or an electrical supply fault at the isolator or consumer unit. We test the circuit to establish whether the unit needs replacing or if there is a wiring fault. ## Other services in Broadstone - [Electrician in Broadstone](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-broadstone): Electrical testing, fault finding, repairs, consumer units, lighting and planned installations across Broadstone and BH18. - [Electric shower installation (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/electric-shower-installation): Electric shower fitting and replacement from MX2 Electrical in Poole and Dorset.
