TESTing

A shower isolator switch is the switch that cuts the power to your electric shower, usually a ceiling pull-cord or a wall switch. Because it carries a heavy current every time the shower runs, it's one of the most common electrical parts to wear out, and a worn one is a genuine fire risk.

We replace faulty shower isolator switches across Nottingham and the East Midlands, on any electric shower, whether it's a pull-cord or wall-mounted switch. The usual signs are a stiff or snapped pull cord, a buzzing or crackling noise, a burning smell, scorch marks, or the shower cutting out. A loose or overheating shower isolator is one of the faults our electricians most often flag on EICR inspections, so it's not something to leave.

Our NICEIC-approved electrician isolates the circuit, fits a new double-pole switch rated to match your shower, checks the connections and cable, and tests everything before leaving. Most jobs take under an hour, at a fixed price, with same-day and 24/7 emergency slots available. If the switch is discoloured, warm or smells of burning, stop using the shower and book a same-day visit.
