If you hate waiting around for your kettle to boil, or want a more streamlined look in your kitchen, then installing an instant boiling water tap could be the answer.

That does not mean an instant hot water tap isn’t right for you, but it’s worth being aware of the ongoing costs before you invest, as expensive replacement filters and maintenance costs can add up over time.
Even without these ongoing costs, our analysis shows that a hot water tap could cost you more than twenty times as much as a Best Buy kettle, despite using less energy, based on one year’s use alone.
