For any office, adequate hydration is crucial for every team member and the efficiency and productivity of a team overall. And just like an office water cooler, having access to an instant hot water dispenser is essential. These convenient and energy-efficient appliances provide a steady supply of hot water on demand, making it quick and easy for your team to enjoy hot drinks and snacks anytime. But which features should you look out for to ensure you have the right hot water dispenser for your office?

Features to consider on your hot water dispenser

There are plenty of options available when you’re looking for a hot water dispenser for any office, so making a decision can be difficult. But there should be some standard things to look out for and consider when you’re choosing to ensure you get a long-lasting, quality product that does everything you need and more, including:

Capacity

Make sure you choose a hot water dispenser that has a large enough capacity to meet the demands of your team or even the entire office staff. Thirsty Work hot water dispensers have capacities of either 5 litres or 10 litres, so consider how many staff you have, how many will use it, and how often.

Temperature

Some hot water dispensers can only dispense water at a single temperature. Thirsty Work hot water dispensers are set to 96ºC by default but can be adjusted to any temperature you need. Consider whether you’ll need the flexibility of different temperature water for different uses.

Size and positioning

Think about the physical size of the dispenser and where it will be positioned, either in your office or your kitchen. You'll want to choose a model that fits in the available space and can be easily accessed by all your employees. But Thirsty Work has the 1000M and 1000C countertop dispensers for areas that are tight for space.

Energy efficiency

Whether you choose a 5 or 10-litre capacity model, a Thirsty Work hot water dispenser is as energy-efficient as you can get. Costing around 16p per day, much cheaper than multiple kettle boilings, the hot water stays hot in standby mode – and you can even turn it off at night for further money and energy savings.

Service and maintenance

Beyond the features of the hot water dispenser itself, one of your biggest considerations should be for the ongoing service and maintenance of the unit. With payments starting from as little as £8.50 per week, Thirsty Work can install your hot water dispenser, and provide regular service and maintenance checks, including cleansing, sanitising, and advanced water filter change to reduce any mineral deposit build-up on the elements.
