If you’re looking to save money in the home, the bathroom is a great place to start. One of the busiest spaces in any home, this is the room where we use as much as 34% of water consumption! So, if you have an old, inefficient shower, this will greatly impact your energy usage. Yet, by replacing this with the most energy-efficient shower, you can actively reduce your bills in this room. 
With so many fantastic energy-efficient designs available, as energy prices continue to rise, there's never been a better time to upgrade your current model. Here the Bathroom Showroom discusses the benefits of energy-efficient showers, highlighting several of our most popular choices. 

What Is an Energy-Efficient Shower?

An energy-efficient shower will primarily use less water and less heat than a standard shower. Yet, what makes a shower a more energy-efficient performer is the additional features it can offer to further reduce energy consumption.
  • Provides a high EPC rating
An energy-efficient shower should offer a high EPC rating. An EPC, an energy performance certificate, or in this case a sticker, is what you’ll find on household appliances. It tells you how energy efficient your shower is from a rating of A, meaning most efficient, to G, the least efficient. So, selecting the highest rating here will ensure you get an ultra-efficient shower choice that is cheaper to run.
  • Has an energy-efficient shower head
Shower heads that promote an even spray pattern from every nozzle, have a deluge-style shower head, or actively work to eliminate limescale build-up are all more efficient choices. Such energy-saver shower heads will ensure the shower head is kept clean and runs to maximum capacity thus eliminating water waste and ensuring all-around efficient performance. 
  • Offers a good wattage
The higher the wattage of your shower choice, the more powerful it will be in performance. This means it will work to heat your water to temperature quicker. The result is a more powerful performance while maintaining consistent pressure. Higher wattages of 8.5kW and above are the more energy-efficient choices. 
  • Features the option of an eco-mode
Some energy-efficient showers have an eco-mode button in their design. When activated, this works to reduce the power consumed, meaning less electricity is needed to heat the water to the desired temperature. What’s more, an eco mode can help cut down the amount of water consumed during regular showering sessions. 

What Is the Most Energy Efficient Shower Type?

An electric shower is considered the most energy efficient thanks to its reduced requirement for power when heating the water and its reliance on just a cold water feed. Electric showers are also considered to be the easier choice when installing. Yet, digital showers are also energy-efficient choices as they allow you to personalise your showering experience, making them ultra-efficient. So, if you’re looking to further reduce your shower costs, it's important to look out for those features we mentioned above.
