Wall Mounted Hot Water Boilers

A wall mounted hot water urn/boiler, offers several benefits for offices, cafeterias, or catering environments. One of the primary advantages is its space-saving design. By being mounted on a wall (usually above a sink), it frees up valuable countertop space and powerpoints. Additionally a hot water boiler dispenser provides instant access to boiling water, which is perfect for the quick preparation of tea, coffee, and instant soups in a busy environment with lots of people looking to get in and grab their cuppa. A boiling water unit is also typically designed with energy efficiency in mind, helping to reduce electricity usage while maintaining water at a boiling temperature. Furthermore, the fixed wall installation prevents the potential hazards often associated with portable urns or kettles, such as spills, knocks, or overloading powerboards. Overall, a wall mounted hot water boiler is a safer choice for plenty of hot, drinkable water.

Choosing between a wall mounted hot water urn or dispenser and an electric kettle, largely depends on the specific needs and how often it’s likely to be used. Whenever someone asks you to pop the kettle on, you know it could take anywhere from 2 to 4 minutes to boil, which is fine if it’s only needed to make a few cups throughout a day, however, a wall mounted boiling water unit is handy for when hot water is in constant demand. Unlike a kettle, which requires refilling and reheating for each use, a hot water boiler dispenser provides a continuous and instant supply of hot water. If safety is another important consideration, a wall mounted hot water boiler means staff won’t be handling a hot kettle, reducing the chance of spills and burns. So, if you work with a lot of people who enjoy hot drinks throughout the work day, then on the wall boiling water is definitely the logical choice.

For optimal performance, follow the manufacturer’s specific maintenance guidelines, and consider booking a professional technician to inspect and service your hot water boilers annually. General maintenance may also include: Checking for leaks or signs of corrosion in the unit and connections.

• Periodically descaling the boiler to remove any mineral buildup which can reduce heating efficiency and damage the hot water boiler dispenser over time.
• Flush the system regularly to clear out sediment or debris that could clog it up.
• Taking a proactive maintenance approach will not only keep your boilers in good working condition, but it will also help to identify any potential faults before they require costly repairs or a whole system replacement.

To determine the best size, look at the peak demand around coffee/tea breaks and lunch hours, and roughly how many people are needing hot water. For environments where only one or two people need hot water at a time, 5-10L capacity should offer plenty. For medium commercial environments like offices, cafeterias, or beauty salons, where the demand for tea or coffee is higher, a hot water boiler dispenser with a 10-30L capacity is a better choice. As well as ensuring there’s enough hot water available and nobody needs to wait, it’s important to assess the space you have to work with and the ideal energy efficiency. A larger system usually takes up more space and uses more energy, so you may want to weigh this up. If you’re unsure, have a chat with a professional installer, and they’ll advise you on the right boiler for sufficient hot water in your workplace.
