Discuss Swapping electric shower for same kilowatt electric shower in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Same kilowatt, wasn't on an rcd . Told customer and he shrugged his shoulders. I have two pals who are sparks if they would have gone down they would have wanted to rewire his house, and I am not joking.

As long as it has the same rating and already rcd protected then yes just swap it. I don't even think you have to upgrade to an rcd by the electrical regs as it's just maintenance work. But all mi will say must have an rcd.
Thanks for all the input. Were would an rcd be if its remote from the consumer unit?
Thing with it not being notifiable anyone can do it. Know what you mean though, in practice you should really be a bit clued up on electrics as the wrong size cable could have been fitted originally and could be getting very warm

Can not see the point about the new shower being the same out put as the old so maybe ok to just swop over..you do not know if it was installed correctly anyway,just because it has been working 30 years..part p reg or not..if you are working in someones property,you should at least have a basic knowledge of what you are doing and you should not be putting customers at risk while to do so...you have proven by the posts you are not confident as regards the shower update,so I would say step aside and let someone do the the job that can do it correctly
A big part of our job is to know our limitations,pass on work we can not do and thus cover your bum.......
