Choosing the correct shower type depends entirely on your existing household water system. Electric showers are highly versatile because they only require a cold mains water supply and a dedicated electrical feed. They heat the water completely on demand, ensuring you never run out of hot water even if your boiler breaks down. They are available in various kilowatt ratings, with higher outputs like 10.5kW providing a much stronger flow rate during winter when the incoming mains water is naturally colder. If you have a traditional gravity-fed system with a hot water cylinder and a cold water tank in the loft, a power shower is the ideal solution. These units feature an integrated pump that actively boosts the flow from both the hot and cold supplies to deliver a highly satisfying, high-volume spray. Upgrading your daily routine is incredibly straightforward. With our free Click & Collect service, your new unit can be ready to pick up in as little as 5 minutes from over 350 branches nationwide, or you can opt for our convenient next working day delivery straight to your door.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an electric shower and a power shower?
An electric shower takes water solely from your cold mains supply and heats it instantly using an internal element, making it highly efficient and entirely independent of your boiler. A power shower requires both hot and cold water feeds from a traditional gravity-fed system and uses a built-in electric pump to forcefully push the mixed water out of the shower head. You must never install a power shower on a high-pressure system like a combination boiler or an unvented cylinder, as the excessive mains pressure will severely damage the internal pump.
Does a higher kW rating mean a more powerful electric shower?
Yes, a higher kilowatt rating allows the electric shower to heat water much faster. Because the internal heating element works more efficiently, the shower can push water through the unit at a higher flow rate while still maintaining your desired temperature. This difference is particularly noticeable in the winter months when the incoming mains water drops in temperature, meaning a lower wattage shower might struggle to provide a strong spray without the water turning lukewarm.
Can I upgrade my electric shower to a higher kW model easily?
While swapping the physical unit is a standard job for a professional, upgrading to a higher kilowatt rating often requires a thorough check of your existing electrical circuits. A more powerful shower draws significantly more electrical current, meaning you may need to upgrade the copper cabling in your walls and install a higher-rated fuse switch on your consumer unit to prevent the system from overheating and tripping. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified electrician to ensure the new installation fully complies with current UK safety regulations.
