A direct swap on an intact circuit requires less time and material than running new wiring from the consumer unit. - Electric shower installation: from £150 - Covers the removal of the old unit, mounting the replacement, and connecting existing sound supplies. - Upgrading to a higher kilowatt rating may require heavier gauge cable and an upgraded protective breaker. - Running a brand new dedicated circuit from the fuse board adds materials and installation time. ## Electric shower installation across Ferndown We serve Ferndown from our base in Poole. - Ferndown town centre - Tricketts Cross - West Parley - BH22 ## What happens on the day Every shower installation follows a clear process to verify electrical safety, complete secure plumbing connections, and verify that the unit runs correctly. ### Circuit assessment and power isolation Work begins by isolating electrical power at the consumer unit. We test the dedicated supply cable, inspect the local pull-cord or wall switch, and ensure the protective devices in the fuse board are correctly rated for the shower. ### Unit mounting and plumbing connections The existing unit is removed cleanly and the new shower chassis is secured to the wall. We connect the cold water mains feed using compression fittings and terminate the electrical conductors securely to prevent overheating. ### System testing and commissioning Power is restored to carry out electrical safety checks, including earth continuity and insulation resistance. We then run the shower through cold and hot settings to check flow rates and inspect all joints for watertight seals. ## Frequently asked shower installation questions ### Do I need a new circuit for an electric shower replacement? If your new shower has the same kilowatt rating as the old one and the existing cable, switch, and fuse board protection are in sound condition, a new circuit is usually not required. If you are upgrading to a higher power rating, a thicker supply cable may be needed. ### Is an electric shower installation notifiable under building regulations? Replacing a shower like-for-like on an existing circuit is generally not notifiable. However, installing a brand new circuit inside a bathroom is notifiable. As a NAPIT registered business, MX2 Electrical notifies the appropriate authorities directly whenever required. ### Can a higher kilowatt shower be fitted to my existing wiring? This depends on the cross-sectional area of the existing cable and the rating of your consumer unit breaker. A 9.5kW or 10.5kW unit draws substantial electrical current. We inspect the cable and fuse board before fitting to verify whether an upgrade is necessary. ### Does an electric shower require an isolator switch? Yes. Electric showers must have a dedicated double pole isolator switch, usually mounted as a ceiling pull cord outside splash zones or as an external wall switch. This allows the electrical supply to be safely disconnected for servicing or maintenance. ### How do I schedule an electric shower installation in Ferndown?
