Question 1

Do taps only run hot water?

Answer

Taps run both hot and cold water. The feed to the tap is cold water and you have an option similar to a mixer tap to turn it to hot (which engages the heating element and the water is heated) or turn it to cold (the heating element is not engaged and then the cold water just passes through the tap).

Question 2

How much is the running cost of the tap?

Answer

The running cost is 1 cent per minute while it is running on the hot side. In most cases it will cost less. The 1 cent is calculated at a rate of 20 cents per Kilowatt hour (20c/Kwh). The taps are a 3 Kilowatt unit. So 3 x 20 = 60 cents. Here are some of the approximate electrical tariffs. Energia: 13.98 cent per kWh (lowest). Therefore: 3 x 13.98 = 41.94 cents per hour 41.94/60 = 0.699 cent or €0.007 per minute. SSE Airtricity: 18.69 cent per kWh (highest). Therefore: 3 x 18.69 = 56.07 cents per hour 56.07/60 = 0.9345 cent or €0.009 per minute. Please note these do not include standing charge or any annual prepay charge so check with your provider, or click here for rates and charges. Please note that no electricity is used when running cold water, so no running cost!

Question 3
