Electric Shower Installation in Manchester
Electric Shower Installation in Manchester
Electric Shower Installation Across Greater Manchester
An electric shower is one of the most practical and popular additions to any bathroom. Unlike mixer showers that rely on your boiler, an electric shower heats water on demand directly from the cold water supply — meaning you’ll always have a hot shower available, even if the boiler is off or hot water has run out. AquaDash provides professional electric shower installation services across Greater Manchester, including Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and all surrounding areas.
Our experienced plumbers carry out electric shower installations safely, neatly and in full compliance with current safety standards.
#### Why Choose an Electric Shower?
Electric showers are the most commonly installed shower type in Greater Manchester — and for good reason:
– **Independent of the boiler** — works regardless of whether your boiler or hot water cylinder has hot water available
– **Energy efficient** — heats only the water you use, rather than heating a full tank
– **Cost-effective** — generally less expensive to run than a mixer shower drawing from a heated cylinder
– **Ideal for high-occupancy households** — multiple people can shower in quick succession without hot water running out
– **Great for rental properties** — reliable, simple and tenant-friendly
Whether you’re installing your first electric shower, replacing an old unit or upgrading to a higher-powered model, AquaDash will carry out the full installation from start to finish.
What’s Involved in an Electric Shower Installation?
An electric shower installation requires both plumbing and electrical work:
**Plumbing work** — connecting the shower unit to your cold water supply, ensuring adequate pressure and flow rate for the unit’s power rating. We’ll check your water pressure and advise on the appropriate kW rating for your supply.
**Electrical work** — electric showers require a dedicated circuit from your consumer unit (fuse board), typically protected by a 40A or 45A MCB (depending on the unit’s wattage). AquaDash works with qualified electricians to ensure all electrical connections are carried out safely and to Part P regulations. Alternatively, if you already have a suitable circuit from a previous electric shower, we can often work with the existing installation.
**Fitting and testing** — the shower unit is fixed neatly to the wall, connected, and fully tested before we leave.
#### Choosing the Right Electric Shower
AquaDash can help you choose the right shower for your water pressure, electrical supply and budget. We work with all major brands including Triton, Mira, Bristan, Aqualisa and Redring. Key factors to consider include:
– **Power rating (kW)** — higher wattage means better flow rate and temperature performance; most modern electric showers range from 8.5kW to 10.5kW
– **Design** — a wide range of styles available to suit any bathroom décor
– **Features** — thermostatic protection, power boost settings, eco modes and more
