5 Big Reasons To Upgrade Your Office Hot Water Dispenser This Spring

The daffs have come and gone, the clocks have gone forward, and Easter’s right around the corner. Spring has definitely sprung – and now’s the perfect time for a refresh, to shake things up, and make some changes. And that goes beyond just your home – your office also deserves a revamp. And one small but meaningful change you can make is replacing your old hot water dispenser and upgrading to a brand new model. Whether it’s used for tea breaks, making coffee, hot snacks, or just hot water with a slice of lemon, a new high-quality hot water dispenser in your workplace can improve efficiency, hygiene, and even sustainability. 

Why you really should upgrade your office hot water dispenser

If your current mains-fed hot water dispenser is slow, outdated, struggling to meet demand, or simply not up to keeping your team going efficiently, it might be time for a change. 

Long waiting times, water temperatures that aren’t quite right, and more and more maintenance issues can all take their toll. So upgrading to a newer, more advanced model will not only be ultra convenient but will reduce energy use, improve hygiene, and give you better-tasting hot drinks. 

If you’re trying to figure out which is the best hot water dispenser for your office, here are five big reasons why upgrading this spring is a smart decision.

1. Energy efficiency and cost savings

Many dispensers get more inefficient and uneconomical as they get older, consuming more energy than necessary, costing you more in your electricity bills, and wasting valuable resources. Modern hot water dispensers from Thirsty Work are crammed with the latest energy-efficient and money-saving features, including:

• Insulated water tank – effortlessly increasing energy efficiency and reducing heat loss.
• On-demand heating systems – heating water and keeping it hot for on-demand use.
• Adjustable heat settings – to give the perfect water temperature, whatever your taste.

By investing in a new, energy-efficient hot water dispenser, your team can enjoy all the hot drinks and snacks they want, whenever they want. At the same time, you can take advantage of lower running costs and reduce your carbon footprint. That’s a definite win-win for your team, your budget, and the environment.

2. More speed and convenience

Just like a kettle, an old and outdated hot water dispenser can slow down time-sensitive tea and coffee breaks and busy lunchtime, causing annoying delays. Newer and more efficient models bring faster water heating times, so your team has to spend less time waiting and more time being productive – and hydrated.

• Convenient instant hot water at the push of a button or pull of a handle.
• High-volume capacity options for larger offices with more frequent use.
• Reduced waiting times, making everyone’s breaks more efficient.

An advanced hot water dispenser means that everyone in the office has access to near-boiling water quickly and conveniently, improving break and lunchtimes for more effective and productive workflow. With less waiting time and hanging around and more efficiency, your team can get back to their desks refreshed and ready to go.

3. Improved hygiene and safety features

Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, hygiene in the workplace is more important than ever. Older dispensers can be a hotbed for bacteria, limescale, and other contaminants, especially if they haven’t been properly maintained or serviced in a while. New Thirsty Work hot water dispensers come with some advanced hygiene features, including:

• Touch-free operation with optional controls, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
• An advanced Pura filtration system to remove odours and contaminants, and improve taste.
• Easy-to-clean surfaces for a germ-free office, kitchen, or breakroom.

Alongside the hygiene issue, safety is also a key issue, particularly in busy workplaces with plenty of workers, including many who may be working night shifts. Thirsty Work dispensers can also include the dual safety protections of over-boil and boil-dry features for a safer workplace for all.

4. Sustainability and eco-friendly benefits

Sustainability is a hot topic and is high on the agenda for many businesses at the moment. If your office is committed to sustainability, upgrading your hot water dispenser is a great way to boost your green business credentials. And Thirsty Work models are designed to do more than just deliver steaming hot water – they also:

• Help to reduce plastic waste and encourage the use of reusable cups and mugs.
• Promote more efficient water usage while preventing water waste.
• Have an eco-friendly design for reduced energy use. 

Any hot water dispenser from Thirsty Work is environmentally friendly and can help your business hit any sustainability goals while also upholding any environmental, social, and governance (ESG) measures you have in place.

5. Better taste and water quality

One of the most overlooked benefits of upgrading your hot water dispenser to a brand new model is the improvement in water quality and taste. Over time, older dispensers will accumulate a buildup of limescale and other impurities, which can affect the taste of your tea, coffee, and other hot snacks.

On top of that, limescale can affect the dispenser's performance and energy efficiency. Your new Thirsty Work dispenser will come fully equipped with a built-in advanced water filtration system, which will:

• Remove chlorine, bacteria, and other trace contaminants that affect taste and smell.
• Prevent limescale with a built-in scale inhibitor, ideal if you’re in a UK hard water area.
• Keep pH levels stable, remove trace microplastics, and protect your dispenser.

While UK water is already treated and 100% safe to drink wherever you’re based, an in-built advanced filtration system is the ideal way to ensure your mains water gets cleaner and safer still. Providing fresh, great-tasting hot water will be appreciated by your team, making those coffee breaks and unch times even more enjoyable.
