How much to replace an electric shower in Great Torrington?
Like-for-like is typically £270–£450 fitted in Great Torrington, 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 £695.
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.
How do Great Torrington prices for electric showers compare with Bideford?
Great Torrington typically comes in at £450 and Bideford at £410, with Devon as a whole around £420. The gap is mostly down to property type and travel, so a quote from a firm in either town is worth having.
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.
Who signs off electric showers work in Great Torrington?
Your electrician, if they're on a scheme like NICEIC. They test the work, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify Torridge District Council building control. Hiring someone who isn't registered means paying the council to inspect it, which costs far more.
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.
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.
