With a boiling water faucet, you instantly generate boiling water from the faucet. The most popular brand on the market, Quooker, likes to show off thermal insulation that increases efficiency and reduces energy costs. The total consumption of the Quooker tank includes a part for keeping warm water and a part for heating cold water.

To always have boiling water at hand, the Quooker uses 87.6 kWh or € 29.50 per year. If you need an average of 10 liters of boiling water per day, your boiling water faucet will use 423 kWh to heat the water and 87.6 kWh to keep it warm, according to the manufacturer. Total: 511 kWh per year, or 172.11 euros.

A boiling water faucet has the huge advantage that you are only boiling the water you actually need. In combination with solar panels, you can reduce your consumption bill, just as with an induction or boiler.
