Electric showers are often blamed for draining household budgets in the cost of living crisis, but recent research has shown they may not deserve the floods of criticism they often get on social media.
In fact, the report by consumer group Which? has washed away the argument that electric showers are too expensive to use by revealing that they can be cheaper than either of the alternatives if used correctly.
Lab tests carried out by Which? measured water flow rate and energy efficiency of electric, mixer and power shower and found that electric showers could actually save you money in the bathroom every day. And with Northumbrian Water's bills set to rise by 7.5% or an average of £29 a year from April, saving water as well as energy is important.
