HOT, COLD & FILTERED TAPS


How The Kitchen Tap Industry Can Help The Cost of Living Crisis

ith energy bills rising and the cost of living eating into household budgets, finding ways to minimise expenditure is a priority.


Average energy usage in homes


The average family home uses around a fifth of its energy heating water. For those in flats, the percentage is higher.

It’s not just the hot water coming from the tap either – putting the kettle on at regular intervals uses bursts of power to heat your water. Surprisingly, around two-thirds of people overfill a kettle during use, meaning there’s tons of wasted energy.


So, what is the solution?


The kitchen tap industry has developed several solutions to make taps more energy efficient. One of the most popular options in homes in the current market is a boiling water tap. While most people choose these taps primarily for convenience, there are a number of benefits, including energy savings.


Manufacturers have designed boiling water taps


(or as they are otherwise known, 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 taps) to be more efficient than your average kitchen faucet. They are made to instantly boil water without needing to wait for a kettle. Plus, you don’t need to wait several minutes for a pan of water to boil on the hob.


Not only does this save on electricity or gas to heat the water, households only use the volume of water needed. So, less is wasted. How do boiling water taps help the cost of living crisis?


If you use the kettle numerous times a day, this constant on-and-off usage while boiling too much water wastes energy and costs more in the long term.


Switching to a 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 tap reduces this. While there is the initial investment of installing this system, the overriding benefit of reducing costs can outweigh the price.


There are numerous other uses for a boiling water tap, such as sterilising, cleaning cookware and making soups. So it’s a versatile addition to the home and can prove a handy investment while helping reduce home-running costs.
