Can I install an electric shower myself?

If you are looking to install an electrical shower yourself, there are a few things you need to take into account. First, electrical showers require their own dedicated electrical circuit, so you will need to make sure that your home’s electrical system is up to the task. Secondly, electrical showers must be connected to the mains water supply, so you will need to have some plumbing experience in order to make the necessary connections.

Finally, it is important to make sure that the electrical shower unit is properly earthed before you start using it. If you are unsure about any of these aspects, it is best to consult with a qualified electrician or plumber before proceeding. With a bit of care and attention, though, it is certainly possible to install an electrical shower yourself.

Do you need an electrician to fit a shower?

With any electrical work in the home, it is always best to err on the side of caution and hire a qualified professional. This is especially true when it comes to installing an electrical shower. While a plumber may be able to install the plumbing side of the shower, only a qualified electrician should connect and test the electrics.

Electrical showers are powered by mains electricity, so it is essential that the work is carried out by someone who knows what they are doing. Not only could an electrical fault pose a serious safety risk, but it could also invalidate your home insurance. So, if you’re thinking of installing an electrical shower, be sure to hire a qualified electrician to do the job.

How long does it take to fit an electric shower?

Most electrical showers can be fitted in around 8 hours, although this will obviously depend on the level of experience of the person carrying out the work. If you’re simply replacing an old shower unit with a new one, then it should only take around 2 hours – assuming you can get hold of the necessary parts quickly.

Even something as simple as replacing a shower switch should only take 30 minutes, although it’s always best to allow for an hour just in case. So, in summary, electrical showers aren’t too difficult to fit – although it’s always best to leave it to the professionals if you’re not confident in your own abilities.
