How much does installing a Quooker cost?
The labour-only Quooker tap cost is €150 to €300 excluding VAT.
The total price has two parts: the appliance and the installation. This page owns the fitting cost only. Ask a supplier for the current price of the tap, Quooker tank and any optional CUBE.
Pricing Model v1.0.0 sets installation at €150 to €300 when the services are ready. Prices start at €150 before VAT. At 21% VAT, the band becomes €181.50 to €363 including VAT. Whether VAT is added depends on the contractor. A provider using the Dutch small-business scheme, the KOR, does not charge VAT.
Extra work changes the final cost. Common issues are a missing tap hole, no suitable power point, long hose runs or too little space in your kitchen cupboard. Send clear photos before requesting a fixed price.
What does a Quooker installation need?
The manufacturer says all services must be within 50 cm of the installation point, beneath the worktop and accessible. Use an approved extension set when the distance is greater.
- A suitable cold feed and, for some tank types, a hot water connection.
- An accessible drain for the model-specific relief and waste connection.
- A free earthed socket that matches the current manual for the reservoir.
- Enough cupboard space for the water tank, hoses, valves and future service.
Electrical requirements differ by reservoir and installation. This guide therefore does not apply one generic 1600 W, 230 V or dedicated-circuit claim to every system. Use the current manual for the exact model. Ask an electrician to check the socket and the existing circuit load.
What's involved in installing a Quooker tap?
The installer fits the water tap and reservoir to existing services, connects the water supply and drain, and tests the system. This is the core installation process.
- The published conditions allow the fitter to adapt the drain where required.
- The fitter does not drill a worktop or alter the sink cupboard.
- Adding a socket or work in the consumer unit is not included.
- Extra materials from the van are charged only after consultation.
The tap hole must already exist. The current criteria specify a 35 mm hole, at least 30 mm from the sink and 60 mm from the rear wall. The worktop may be no more than 50 mm thick.
How long does it take to install a Quooker?
There is no single verified duration for every Quooker installation. A prepared job uses existing, accessible water, drainage and power. Drilling, cupboard changes or electrical work must be arranged separately and can delay fitting.
What are the different Quooker models and their costs?
PRO3, COMBI, COMBI+ and CUBE have different functions and product prices. This page does not replace the supplier's current product list. For fitting, the reservoir type determines the plumbing. A PRO3 or COMBI+ setup can require hot and cold water. A COMBI tank uses the cold-water connection.
Send the exact model before the visit. Different models need different connections. The installer must know whether the Quooker system will provide instant boiling water, dispense boiling water instantly or also supply ordinary instant hot water. In Dutch quotations, boiler can mean a hot-water cylinder; here the job is a compact under-sink reservoir.
Quooker CUBE for chilled and sparkling water
A CUBE adds chilled and sparkling water. It is a second appliance with its own ventilation and access needs. The standard position is within 70 cm of the main tank; an approved extension hose is available for a longer run.
Allow room for the CUBE filter and CO₂ cylinder. The option can dispense chilled, sparkling and filtered cold water. Tell the plumber before fitting so the full layout beneath the sink can be checked.
Fusion, Flex or Nordic Quooker tap?
Fusion combines hot, cold and boiling water in one spout. Nordic can use a separate boiling water tap. Flex adds a pull-out hose for ordinary water. The chosen tap must match the hole and worktop.
A chrome, brass, nickel or stainless steel finish may change the product price, but it does not change the labour band by itself. The fitter still needs the model details before installing a Quooker.
Can any plumber install or service a Quooker tap?
A plumber is not required for installation, according to the manufacturer. You may use a plumber, contractor, approved partner or install it yourself. Follow the exact model guide and do not improvise water, drainage or power.
Not every plumber is an approved service partner. Ask who handles later service and warranty work. Professional fitting is sensible if you are unsure about plumbing or power. Electrical changes should be handled by an electrician.
Is a Quooker expensive to run?
Running cost is separate from the fitting price. It depends on the reservoir, use and energy tariff. This guide does not claim a fixed annual amount or that a Quooker is always cheaper to run than a kettle.
Each reservoir contains a HiTAC filter. A CUBE can have a separate cold water filter. In hard water areas, follow current guidance for limescale and a compatible Scale Control R option.
Is a Quooker tap cheaper to run than a kettle?
It is not always cheaper. The answer depends on the model, household use, energy tariff and how much water a kettle heats. This fitting guide therefore makes no fixed saving claim.
What is the lifespan of a Quooker tap?
The cited manufacturer pages do not promise one fixed lifespan for every tap and tank. A two-year warranty is not a service-life claim. Maintenance, water conditions and use all matter.
Should you turn a Quooker off at night?
Do not use one generic night rule for every model. Follow the standby and switch-off steps in the current guide for the exact tank, especially before a long period without use.
Why can the total Quooker price be much higher?
The total can be much higher because the €150 to €300 band covers fitting only. The tap, tank, finish, optional CUBE, filters and kitchen preparation are separate. Different Quooker models therefore change the product total, not the labour band by default.
A package or COMBI deal may bundle products or fitting. Do not assume installation is free. Check the written order for the exact appliance price, fitting scope and exclusions.
Warranty and safe boiling water
The current warranty page states two years for all products, not 12 months. Read the full terms and register the appliance. An installer's workmanship warranty may have separate conditions.
Show every user how to dispense boiling water safely, whether for a cup of tea or cooking. Keep the spout above the sink, avoid water wastage and supervise children. Temperature control and the aerator should be used only as the model instructions describe.
How to compare a Quooker installation quote
Compare the same scope. A useful quote names the tap, reservoir, CUBE if present, connection assumptions, VAT basis and any extra call-out or material charge.
- Send photos of the empty cupboard, services and worktop.
- State whether this replaces a mixer tap or is a first installation.
- Ask what is included in fitting and what another trade must do.
- Check whether the price includes 21% VAT and whether the provider uses the KOR.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions.
How much does it cost to get a Quooker installed?
Fitting costs €150 to €300 excluding VAT when the services are ready. At 21% VAT, that is €181.50 to €363 for a consumer. The tap and preparation are separate.
Can I install a Quooker myself?
Yes. The manufacturer provides instructions and says a plumber is not required. Use the manual for your exact model and ask a qualified trade to handle unfamiliar plumbing or electrical work.
Is Quooker installation included with the purchase?
Not automatically. Installation is included only when the written order says so. Otherwise, compare the product price and the €150 to €300 fitting band as separate items.
How long does Quooker fitting take?
There is no single verified time for every kitchen. Accessible, ready services keep the job simple. Drilling, cupboard changes and electrical work must be completed separately.
Does the installer drill the tap hole?
No. The published installation conditions require the 35 mm tap hole to be ready and say the approved fitter will not drill the worktop.
What drain does the system need?
An accessible existing drain is required. The current conditions allow the fitter to make a needed drain adaptation. The exact relief hose and funnel arrangement must follow the model manual.
What socket or circuit is required?
Use an accessible earthed socket that meets the current reservoir manual. The fitter does not add a socket or circuit. An electrician should assess the existing circuit load.
How long is the manufacturer warranty?
The current warranty page states two years for every product. Read the full conditions and also ask whether the fitter gives a separate workmanship warranty.
