Instant Electric Shower Installation in Nairobi
Instant electric showers are a game-changer for homes and businesses in Nairobi, providing hot water on demand without the need for bulky storage tanks. At Repairtech.co.ke in Regen, Nairobi County, we offer professional installation services for instant electric showers, ensuring energy efficiency, safety, and convenience. Our certified plumbers handle top brands like Lorenzetti, Alpha, and Midea, delivering reliable setups for all bathroom types. Below, we explore the benefits of instant electric showers, common installation considerations, and why Repairtech is your go-to solution in Nairobi.
Why Choose Instant Electric Showers?
Instant electric showers heat water as it flows through the unit, eliminating the wait time associated with traditional water heaters. This makes them ideal for busy households or commercial spaces like salons and gyms. They are energy-efficient, only using power when hot water is needed, which can reduce electricity bills by up to 30% compared to storage water heaters. Their compact, tankless design saves space, fitting easily in small bathrooms or apartments. Brands like Lorenzetti and Alpha, which we install, offer features like overheat protection, thermal cut-off switches, and adjustable temperature settings for a safe and comfortable shower experience.
Our Installation Process
At Repairtech.co.ke, we ensure a seamless installation process tailored to your needs. Our process begins with a free on-site assessment to evaluate your plumbing system, water pressure, and electrical setup. Most instant showers require a 220V-240V power supply and a stable water flow of at least 3 liters per minute. We check for compatibility with your water type—whether it’s borehole, hard, or salty water—ensuring the shower unit, such as the Lorenzetti Maxi Ducha or Alpha SMART series, performs optimally.
Our certified plumbers handle the entire installation, from mounting the unit to connecting it to the main water line using 15mm copper tubing for durability. We ensure proper grounding and install a dedicated circuit breaker to prevent electrical hazards. The process typically takes 2-3 hours, with costs ranging from KSh 5,000 to KSh 10,000, depending on the complexity and any additional plumbing or electrical upgrades needed. We also test the unit post-installation to confirm consistent water temperature and pressure, providing a hassle-free experience.
Common Installation Considerations
Proper installation is critical for safety and performance. Low water pressure, common in some Nairobi areas, may require a booster pump, which we can install for an additional KSh 8,000 to KSh 15,000. We also advise against hiring unqualified technicians, as improper electrical connections can lead to shocks or unit failure. Our team ensures compliance with safety standards, using corrosion-resistant materials like copper heat exchangers for longevity. For households with multiple bathrooms, we recommend multi-point instant showers like the Centon Multi-Point, which can serve several outlets simultaneously.
Maintenance and Aftercare
To keep your instant shower running efficiently, regular maintenance is essential. Repairtech offers maintenance packages starting at KSh 2,000, including cleaning the heating element and checking for leaks. We advise descaling the unit every 6-12 months, especially for hard water areas, to prevent buildup. Our installations come with a 6-month warranty on workmanship, and most shower units carry a 1-year manufacturer warranty. If issues arise, such as inconsistent heating or low pressure, our team provides repair services, with costs averaging KSh 3,000 to KSh 7,000.
