Can anyone help me with a question that I don't really understand? Have just spoken to my aged mother who has just changed from a gas to an electric cooker. The house she is in has already a point for an electric cooker so, having bought second-hand, she employed a local accredited contractor to fit the cooker. He's done that but was full of doom and gloom because the shower (upstairs) is apparently connected to the same box as the cooker...he has said that she should not run the shower when the cooker is on and that she should really have a new box installed. I know nothing about electrics but just wanted to be sure that this is genuine advice (he's connected the cooker but says he can't change the box and has put her on to a 'friend' (also accredited I think)) Sorry to sound very ignorant but can anyone confirm that she should have this done? Any opinions? ps. my mother lives in England.
