electric shower
If you are looking to improve your bathroom and remove the reliance of a boiler system heating your hot water then an electric shower may be the answer. Electric showers are relatively new bathroom appliances that are installed into the mains supply and heat water as you require it. Unlike traditional boiler systems, electric showers heat water instantaneously, so there’s no waiting times nor is there any wasted hot water.
Electric Showers have both their advantages and disadvantages, however as energy prices are rising they are seen as a cost effective form of water heating. The initial outlay for a shower unit can vary between $150 and $300 depending on the brand and model. Popular manufacturers include Mira and Triton, which offer various designs depending on your usage.
It is imperative that your electric shower unit is installed by a certified engineer to avoid any dangers of mixing electricity with water and to ensure your insurance policy is valid - many insurers will not cover an electrical appliance that has been installed by anyone other than a professional. The cost of this varies but it is worthwhile in the long run.
When electric showers first came onto the scene many early adopters were unhappy with the rate the water exited the shower head. They found it too slow and often like standing under rain water! As electric showers have evolved, electric power showers have entered the market. These units provide extra pressure that results in a faster, harder output, but do cost more.
To avoid relying on your boiler to act as both a central heating system and shower unit, it is advisable that you consider purchasing an electric shower.
