Our triton power shower has given up the ghost after 10 years of being rubbish. It never had any power. We have a combi boiler and were going to get a mixer shower. I was just wondering if an electric one would be more eco friendly and more eco-nomical than using lovely old gas.

A shower desinged to work with a combi is more reliable (less to go wrong), more powerful than electric and gas is cheaper than electric. However when you combi breaks down you have no shower.
Electric showers cost more to buy (when the're installed properly with an RCD), cost more to run than gas, and are not eco-friendly (perhaps only 30% efficient compared to perhaps 70% efficient for gas).

Thanks for that. The shower did manage to outlast our first combi boiler, we now have a WB Greenstar HE Plus. I think we will go for the mixer shower.
