Usually 4–6 hrs on site. Your power is off for most of that time, so plan around fridges and alarms.

How much to replace an electric shower in Ashburton?
Like-for-like is typically £265–£440 fitted in Ashburton, including the shower. Going to a more powerful unit (9.5 kW or 10.5 kW) often needs a thicker cable from the fuse box, which brings it towards £685.
How do I check an electrician is properly registered?
Look them up on the NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA register using their name or postcode, not just the logo on a van. Ask for their registration number and a copy of their insurance. A good electrician will happily send both before you book.
Do electricians charge more to come out on the moor near Ashburton?
A little, sometimes. Ashburton is inside Dartmoor National Park, and homes up on the moor can be a long drive with poor phone signal. Most firms add £20 to £40 for remote spots. In town, the £440 typical price stands.
Who signs off electric showers work in Ashburton?
Your electrician, if they're on a scheme like NICEIC. They test the work, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify Teignbridge District Council building control. Hiring someone who isn't registered means paying the council to inspect it, which costs far more.
How do Ashburton prices for electric showers compare with Buckfastleigh?

Do you cover the villages round Ashburton, like Widecombe-in-the-Moor and Poundsgate?
We do. The electric showers prices on this page already include jobs in Widecombe-in-the-Moor, Poundsgate, Bickington, Holne. Village visits are usually booked on the same days as Ashburton work, so the next slot (in 3 days) normally applies to you too.
Should I get more than one quote?
Two or three is sensible. Compare what's included, not just the total: testing, certificates, making good, and how they price any extra faults found. The cheapest quote often leaves things out that turn up on the final bill.
Can I fit a bigger shower on the same cable?
Only if the cable and breaker are rated for it. Many older showers in Devon run on 6 mm cable, fine for 8.5 kW, not always for 10.5 kW. An electrician can measure it in a few minutes.
Why does my electric shower keep cutting out?
Often it's the thermal cut-out because the shower's furred up with limescale, or the cable is too thin for the unit. A burning smell or browned isolator switch means stop using it and get it checked.
Who do I call in a power cut in Ashburton?
National Grid (South West) runs the network here. If the whole street is dark, call 105, it's free and they'll give you a time. If it's only your house, check your trip switches first, then call an electrician.
