Will there be any issues with the wiring or affects if I replaced a 10.8kw (not like in the title... sorry) shower with a 9.5 kw?
Thanks in Advance.

I wouldn't have thought so as long as the current wiring is up to spec.Norn Iron Club member No 3530

Should be fine (provided there are no other problems with the electrics), problem would normally only be if going to a higher power unit and the wiring wasn't suitable.0

Your current wire for a 10.8kw shower should be 16mm for a 9.5 it can be 10mm or higher.0
