[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 493107, member: 6969"] 7 storage heaters is a LOT for a 3 bedroom semi. I would get all your consumer units updated as already advised and part of that process will be testing of the instalation. I would not be worried by 13KW of heaters and a 10 KW shower. By the time you shower in the morning the heaters will mostly be up to temperature and will have switched off. Diversity is your friend. Plenty of houses have just this arrangement. But as an alternative thought, electric showers are pretty rubbish. How about a decent sized unvented hot water tank? That will be heated by the immersion heater and will deliver mains pressure hot water, and a thermostatic mixer shower will give you the daddy of showers, and you would never want to go back to an electric shower again.
