Electric shower installation in Side & Manavgat
Bought an electric shower or instant water heater for your Turkish home? We fit it safely in Side, Manavgat and nearby – its own circuit from the fuse box, the right breaker, an RCD, earthing and the water connection. Plumbing and electrics in one visit.
What a safe electric shower fitting needs
Its own circuit, not a socket
An electric shower draws a lot of power – a 7 kW unit pulls around 32 amps. A normal socket is rated for 16 A and overheats. The shower needs its own cable from the fuse box.
Breaker, RCD and earth
The breaker is matched to the rating plate on the unit. An RCD (30 mA) and a proper earth are a must in a bathroom.
Water connection done right
Cold water goes into the inlet, the shower hose onto the outlet. No valve on the outlet, and the shower head must not hang higher than the bottom of the unit – it says so on the rating plate.
Where it goes on the wall
We pick a spot in the shower where the cable and water can reach neatly, and run the cable in trunking rather than chasing tiles wherever possible.
How it works
- Send us on WhatsApp a photo of the rating plate (kW and amps), a short video from the socket to where it should go, and a photo of your fuse box.
- You get a written price before we start – breaker, cable and fitting listed separately.
- We mount the unit, run the circuit, connect water and power and test it with you.
- You pay once hot water comes out of the shower.
Call-out & diagnosis: €20 – waived if you book the job with us.
Electric shower installationQuestions & answers
Can an electric shower be plugged into a normal socket?
No. A 7 kW unit draws about 32 amps, while a normal socket is rated for 16 A – the socket and cable overheat. It needs its own circuit with the right breaker and an RCD.
Plumber or electrician – who fits an electric shower?
You need both, and we do both: the water connection and the electrics in one visit.
How much does electric shower installation cost?
It mostly depends on the cable run and your fuse box. Send us the rating plate, a short video and a photo of the fuse box and you'll get a written price upfront.
Why does my electric shower keep tripping?
Usually the cable or breaker is too small, or the shower shares a socket with other appliances. If the RCD trips, damp or a faulty unit can be the cause. We find it on site.
Do you also fit water heaters with a tank (boilers)?
Yes, we fit tank water heaters too. For a shower without storage, an electric shower is the space-saving option.
