Are boiling water taps cheaper to run than kettles?
There’s no doubt that instant boiling water taps are a fantastic addition to a modern kitchen, offering immediate hot water at any given moment – but the big question is are boiling water taps cheaper to run than kettles? Let’s find out…
Boiling water taps have revolutionised the way we access hot water in our kitchens. With a simple touch, you can have piping hot water ready for your tea, coffee, cooking, and other hot beverage or food needs. The appeal of these taps goes beyond convenience; it extends to energy efficiency and potential cost savings as well.
One of the key advantages of boiling water taps is their energy efficiency. Unlike traditional kettles that require time to heat up and often heat more water than needed, boiling water taps provide instant hot water on demand. This on-demand feature minimises heat loss and eliminates the need to re-boil the kettle when the water cools down. As a result, boiling water taps are designed to reduce energy consumption and, by extension, lower your utility bills.
Traditional kettles are known for their efficiency in quickly boiling water. However, they consume a substantial amount of electricity during the boiling process. Moreover, once the water is boiled, it’s common for users to forget about the hot water and let it cool before reheating it again, leading to additional energy usage.
Boiling water taps, on the other hand, are designed to provide hot water instantly and only when needed. They typically use a small, insulated tank that maintains the water at a near-boiling temperature. When the tap is activated, the preheated water is delivered promptly. This eliminates the need for constant reheating, resulting in lower overall energy consumption compared to kettles.
While the upfront cost of purchasing and installing a boiling water tap may be higher than that of a traditional kettle, the long-term savings potential is worth considering. The energy-efficient design of boiling water taps means that over time, the reduced energy consumption can lead to noticeable savings on your energy bills. When factoring in the convenience, energy efficiency, and potential savings, the investment in a boiling water tap becomes increasingly attractive.
Boiling water taps also contribute to a more sustainable kitchen by reducing energy waste and promoting responsible energy usage.
So, are boiling water taps cheaper to run than kettles? The answer is a resounding yes. Boiling water taps offer a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for accessing hot water in your kitchen.

Richard Casson2023-10-27I’ve bought plumbing supplies from Excel a load of times in the last couple of years and would recommend them to anyone — best plumbing store in the area.
ben Flowerdew2023-09-27Went in with little knowledge and the guy managed to put together everything i needed. Very good service over all. Highly recommended
Simon J2023-06-17Popped in this morning to get some advice about a seized bath mixer tap. Complete spacker when it comes to anything plumbing related. Really friendly guys gave excellent advice and sold me exactly what I didn't know I needed after I tried to explain the problem. Fitted by myself and perfect result thus saving me the cost of paying a plumber and having to replace whole tap unit. Thanks so much 😊👍
Jessica Joseph2023-04-25Really professional, helpful and did a great job in good time. Would definitely use them again for any future bathroom works.
Pam Cowburn2023-04-13Excellent customer service. They talked me through everything I would need for a new bathroom and were very patient when I changed my mind a few times! They were also really competitive on price.
Julie Weir2023-03-25I used Excel for Bathroom supply and fit recently and they are one of the most reliable, responsive, pro active, conscientious and professional companies I have ever used in the flat. I live in a decent sized 2 Bedroom flat in N4 and I found the company as they are local to the area, after 2 awful experiences with Wickes and B and Q in the past on my kitchen and another renovation. Excel were wonderful - assisting in design, helping trouble shoot issues, offering advice and also finished the build and works on time which is also a rare thing these days! Great knowledge, excellent workmanship, flexible attitude and they very much take pride in their work. On top of it all, wonderful people all round and very easy to be around when the flat was being pulled apart too! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....
Kyle Rogers2022-10-01Incredibly helpful. Knowledgeable staff
Tom B2022-08-10Really helpful advice and service. I’ve saved time and money today fixing up a broken sink waste and toilet flush that have been on my to-do list for so long.
Jude Fitzgibbon2022-06-25Excel Plumbing - they are a local vendor to us so we popped around - seems to be run by two brothers - we got all our basics from them (bath sink, toilet, shower.....) for a bathroom fitting, very knowledgeable, responsive on deliveries and provided several brochures to review. Gave a significant discount on the list price. They took their time and explained everything - we couldn't ask for any more - Jude & Emanuela
