I have a really random question, which I wish I could work out myself...but can't!
There are 5 people in our house, and we all use an electric shower every day. It is probably used for about 10 minutes each and is a 7.5 kW shower.
I am considering changing to a standard shower running off the water supply using the hot water tank. The gas boiler is quite new (2 years old and quite efficient) and the water tank is also new and therefore well insulated.
My question is what is the cost of using the electric shower compared to the other method, assuming I had to put the water heater (via the boiler not an immersion) on for an extra hour per day to cover the shower usage?
If anyone can help, I would be very grateful, I did see one figure quoted that a 7.5 kW shower costs around 19 pence for a 10 minute shower. I just don't know how to estimate the cost of heating the water via the boiler.
