Electric Shower Installation in Cork

Written by Zakk Davis, Founder & Electrician

An electric shower is not something you plug into an existing socket. It needs its own dedicated circuit run from the consumer unit, sized correctly for the shower's power rating, usually somewhere between 7.5kW and 10.5kW for a domestic unit.

The cost depends on how far the shower is from the consumer unit, whether the existing board has spare capacity for another circuit, and whether any of the route needs to go through finished walls or ceilings versus an easy run through an attic or under a floor.

If you are replacing an existing electric shower rather than fitting a new one, the job is usually quicker, since the circuit is often already in place and sized correctly. We check that during the quote rather than assuming.
