We mount the new shower, terminate the live, neutral and earth conductors securely, and connect the cold water inlet before fitting the front casing. ### Testing and initial commissioning Power and water supplies are restored to verify pressure and heating performance across all settings. We take electrical earth loop and insulation resistance readings to confirm safe operation before cleaning the cubicle. ## Frequently asked questions about electric showers ### Can I replace my electric shower with a more powerful model? A more powerful unit requires greater electrical current. We inspect your existing cable diameter, isolator switch and consumer unit fuse to determine if they can support a higher kilowatt rating without needing new wiring. ### Do I need a new consumer unit to fit an electric shower? Not necessarily. If your current fuse board has an available spare way with proper RCD protection and sufficient capacity, we can use it. If the board lacks appropriate safety switches, we outline the options beforehand. ### Is electric shower installation notifiable under Building Regulations? Installing an electric shower on a brand new dedicated circuit in a bathroom is notifiable work. We complete notifications through our NAPIT registration and provide the official compliance certificate once testing is complete. ### What is included in a like for like shower replacement? A like for like swap includes disconnecting the old unit, mounting the new shower to the existing wall fixing area, connecting the existing water supply and electrical cable, and testing operation across all heat settings. ### Do you repair internal shower components? We isolate and replace faulty shower units rather than rebuilding internal heating elements or solenoids, as complete replacement ensures modern safety standards and reliable daily operation. ## Other services in Canford Heath - [Electrician in Canford Heath](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-canford-heath): Electrical repairs, inspections and planned installation work across Canford Heath East, Canford Heath West and BH17. - [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.
