London Electric Shower Repair & Installation

Electric Shower 101

If you have a large family and find that you run out of hot water for showers on a regular basis, an electric shower might be a viable solution. Electric showers use an element similar to the way a toaster, kettle or hair dryer become hot. The water is heated right away and you never have to worry about running out because as long as the electricity is working, the water will remain hot. Many families find that having an electric shower installed solves many of the arguments that arise over shower times. When an electric shower is in use, it doesn’t matter who showers when, because there will always be enough hot water for everyone.

The Need for Professional Installation

If you see the term “electric shower” and get a puzzled look on your face, you aren’t alone. Since childhood, we are taught that electricity and water are a deadly combination, but a properly installed electric shower won’t cause any harm. When fitted by an experienced engineer, there is nothing to worry about because the heating element is completely sealed. Even though an electric current does flow through it, no electricity contacts the water that flows from the shower nozzle.

That’s not to say there isn’t a safety issue if the shower is installed incorrectly. Electric showers are effective and quite convenient, but this isn’t a project that lends itself to the DIY approach. Find a local, reputable service provider with a proven track record for successful electric shower installations. You will have a new, functioning shower that never runs out of hot water, and you’ll have peace of mind because it is guaranteed to be safe.
