10 Benefits of Electric Showers

We are narrowing down the benefits of electric showers so you can see why they are the most popular shower across the UK.

#1 Instant hot water

No waiting until the water heats up. One of the best features of electric showers is they use heating elements inside the unit to heat up the water as it comes out meaning you get the satisfaction of instant hot water for a quick and efficient showering experience.

#2 Energy efficient

The beauty of electric showers is they only heat the water that you need to use making them much more energy efficient and can make a difference in your energy bills. An electric shower typically runs at a water pressure of 2 litres per minute less than other systems. Using far less energy overall.

#3 Save money

Due to only using the water you need, you will save on water consumption keeping your electric and water costs down. It’s much easier to stay mindful of water usage with an electric shower.

#4 Easy to maintain

Mira have made sure their electric showers are designed for easy cleaning, they include rub clean nozzles to help reduce limescale but also the best feature, that is of course, Mira Clearscale technology which “works by lengthening the heating elements as well as widening the gaps between the coils. This means that the heating tank runs at a consistent temperature throughout, eliminating the chance for ‘hot spots’ and the build-up of limescale.” (Mira, 2024) Your spring cleaning just got a lot easier.

#5 Straight-forward installation

Electric showers require little to no work installing, compared to other showers. They can easily replace existing electric showers with many Mira models having a multi-fit option for fuss-free fit. Covering existing holes without leaving a messy finish or marks.

Note: It’s always advised to seek out a plumber or installer to do the work regardless.

#6 User Friendly

Most electric showers are designed to be easy to use and include push button on/off with separate temperature and pressure dials. Once you set your desired temperature you can set it at that temperature for the next time and simply push on/off to start your shower.

#7 Greater choice

When it comes to style of your shower, you will have plenty of choice. Electric showers range in different colours, shapes and sizes. Which can easily cater to your specific shower needs. Take the Azora, a stunning electric shower that comes with a glass fascia on the front. You can also get it in single or dual with added chrome detailing and overhead deluge.

#8 Adaptable

Electric showers can be fitted in most bathrooms. Some of our favourite Mira showers like the Mira Sport and Jump can replace any old or existing shower without leaving a trace. Your bathroom will look good as new and reduce any additional costs of retiling, or fixing patches.

#9 Eco-conscious

Most electric showers come with an eco-friendly mode to maximise your water usage. Electric showers only uses the water you need.
