Electric Water Heating ●From previous page


there are lots of options for all different types of purchasers. Aesthetics is an important factor for many, and a sleek and attractive tap, which delivers cold, hot and boiling water on demand from one neat faucet, can help to save valuable countertop space and eliminate the need for a kettle. This, in turn, can help to prevent energy waste that occurs when overfilled kettles are boiled.


Delivering energy efficiency Taking a futher look at the market for boiling water heaters, it has seen good growth over the last five years, particularly in commercial applications, with a move away from traditional kettles. Forecasts also show that this is set to continue on an upward trend, with boiling water sales set to hit nearly £60m by 20212. Drilling further down, as the main growth area is likely to be in emerging trends and boiling water taps, savvy installers can use this opportunity to boost their income stream through the sale and installation of these products.

Health and safety is another important element and one that is often high on the agenda for the end-user. If choosing an all-in-one hot, cold and boiling water tap, one which has easy and intuitive functionality is essential, along with low water pressure to avoid splash-back. As with most products in the kitchen, there is an


element of aftercare needed. Boiling water taps need servicing, which involves limescale management in hard-water areas and the changing of filters. Finding a product that allows easy access will make it easier for installers, therefore saving time and money for the end-user. Finally, look for a brand you can trust. As with


any growth category there is an increasing number of ‘cheap’ products flooding the market, but only leading products from reputable manufacturers like Redring can offer the safety
