OK guys, need some advice/opinions please.
Just been out to have a quick look at a fairly big 5 bed house that is being converted into a 6 bed multi let near a hospital.
The landlord is having a combi fitted, but wants to put 4 electric showers in. 1 in the bathroom and 3 en-suites.
Looks like there is one ring for the house (up & down) one for the kitchen and ground floor extension, 2 lighting circuits and cooker circuit.
Main fuse appears to be 100a. It was a very quick whistle stop visit.
When I do the max demand calcs, I can't get anywhere near 100a, even using 0.4 of every circuit other than the highest, and that's without any additional circuits that he may want installing.
I suggested having at least 1 shower off the combi but he seems very reluctant to do it.
In the real world, would this be in your opinion, too great a load for a 100a fuse?
Just wondering what your thoughts were?
Thanks guys n gals
