FAQs

  • Which water heater brand is best for a small under-sink installation?

    Brands like DexPro and Zip offer exceptional compact under-sink units. DexPro models are ideal for quick, budget-friendly installation in small cloakrooms or annexes, while Zip provides high-end, heavy-duty unvented options for commercial and residential kitchens.

  • What is the difference between an instantaneous and a stored water heater?

    An instantaneous (tankless) water heater heats cold water on demand as it flows through the internal element, consuming energy only while the tap is running. A stored water heater (vented or unvented cylinder) keeps a specific volume of water heated in an insulated tank so it is immediately ready for high-demand draw-offs.

  • Do I need a qualified electrician or plumber to install these units?

    Plug-in point-of-use units can be installed easily, but hardwired electric models or unvented hot water storage systems must be fitted by a competent electrician or a G3-qualified plumber to comply with UK Building Regulations and safety standards.

  • What does ErP / Lot 20 compliance mean for water heater brands?

    ErP (Energy-related Products) and Lot 20 are UK/EU eco-design regulations that mandate minimum energy efficiency standards. Compliant water heaters from brands like Redring, DexPro, and Zip feature superior tank insulation and smart thermostatic controls to minimize electricity waste.

  • Can I use these water heaters in hard water regions in the UK?

    Yes. However, if you live in a hard water area, selecting a brand with replaceable copper or stainless-steel elements (or installing an inline scale inhibitor) will protect the heating element from limescale build-up and extend product lifespan.
