Hot Water Boilers

Choosing the right office hot water boiler.

Before choosing a boiler, think about how many people will use it, when demand is highest and how much space you have available. The size and output of the system should match your workplace’s actual demand.

Number of Employees and Daily Usage

Start with the number of employees who will use the boiler, then factor in visitors and clients. Peak times are important too, especially in larger offices where several people may make drinks at once.
It also helps to estimate how many cups of tea and coffee are made during a typical working day.

Boiler Capacity and Output

Capacity refers to how much hot water the boiler can hold, while recovery rate shows how quickly it can heat replacement water after use.

A smaller boiler may be perfectly adequate for a modest office, while larger workplaces will need a higher-output model that can keep up during busier periods.

Installation Location

Think about where the boiler will sit and how easy it will be to use. Countertop models need enough work surface, while wall-mounted units require a suitable wall and fixing position.

Plumbed systems also need access to the mains water supply and an appropriate electrical connection. Enough room should be left around the unit for future servicing and maintenance.

Water Quality and Filtration

Some office water boilers can be paired with filtration to improve water quality and help control limescale. This is particularly useful in hard water areas, where scale can build up inside heating equipment over time.

Keeping filters and scale management up to date can improve drink quality and reduce maintenance.
