How Energy Efficient is a Billi Tap Compared to a Kettle

6th Jul 2026

Saving energy is one of the top ways that businesses can cut their running costs and meet their sustainability targets. While kettles remain popular across workplace kitchens and hospitality venues, they may not be the most efficient way to supply boiling water.

Billi taps provide filtered boiling water on demand whenever it’s needed. Not only can upgrading to a Billi tap help businesses save energy, but they also help reduce water waste and allow for better day-to-day efficiency.

 

Why Do Kettles Waste Energy?

Kettles are boiled many of times every day in workplaces up and down the country, and more often than not, the kettle is filled with more water than is needed. This means that electricity is being wasted to boil excess water that won’t even be used.

When multiplied by the entire year, this wasted energy can increase running costs and contribute towards overall water and electricity usage massively.

If your business provides staff, customers or guests with boiling water throughout the day, a more efficient solution may be suitable.

 

How Does a Billi Tap Save Energy?

Billi taps deliver boiling water instantly and users can simply adjust the flow of water using the tap handle. This means the tap will only dispense the water that is needed, leaving no wasted water.

Billi is unique because of its patented heat exchange system. Waste heat created when producing chilled water is recovered and used to preheat water before it begins to boil. Billi uses less electricity by recycling energy that would otherwise go to waste.

 

Intelligent Technology That Cuts Running Costs

All Billi tap systems are built with energy efficiency in mind. From Eco Mode to Sleep Mode and timed operating schedules, there are a number of features that allow the system to only consume energy when necessary. Smart technology, coupled with high-grade insulated under-counter tanks, limit heat loss and reduce running costs.

For businesses that require access to boiling water all day, these features could make a real difference to monthly utility bills.

 

Billi Taps Only Waste Boiling Water When You Do

Just like saving energy, limiting water waste is an important step towards creating a more sustainable business. Where kettles can cause users to boil more water than they need, instant boiling water from a Billi tap means that employees can get exactly how much water they need to fill up a cup, teapot or saucepan.

In busy workplaces and hospitality venues, reducing this wasted water can make a big difference to your annual costs.

 

Perfect for Busy Offices and Hospitality Venues

Whether you work in an office, run a café or hotel, Billi provides instantaneous access to boiling hot water, so staff don’t have to wait for a kettle to boil every time they need a cup of water or coffee. Kitchens and break areas can avoid unnecessary interruptions during busy periods, and hospitality venues can benefit from quicker boiling times when customers are ordering food and drinks.

By offering an efficient alternative to kettles, Billi helps businesses that rely on quick access to water every single day.

 

Offering More Than Just Boiling Water

Billi isn’t just about boiling water. Though models vary depending on requirements, Billi can also provide businesses with:

  • Filtered chilled water
  • Sparkling water
  • Ambient filtered water

By supplying your workplace with multiple water options from one tap, you can cut down on the number of appliances needed to provide your staff and customers with great tasting water. Options like sparkling water and chilled water can help you make the most of the space you have.

 

Helping Businesses Do Their Bit

Billi understands how businesses want to do their bit for the environment. By installing a Billi tap, you can reduce unnecessary boiling, limit water waste and make use of energy-efficient technologies.

If you’re an organisation looking to hit environmental targets or cut down on operating costs, then a Billi tap can help.
