How long does the signup process take?

If I sign up today, when can I expect to have my Water Cooler installed?
Typically you'll have your cooler installed within 2 weeks.
What if I sign up and then I change my mind?
If you change your mind before we've installed your cooler(s), then all you need to do is put in writing to us that you'd like to cancel your order.
Do I need to sign a contract?
It's upto you really, if you make a committment to us that you'll keep the cooler for a minimum of 2 years then we'll waive the installation charge. If you'd prefer not to sign a contract then we need to cover our costs and charge for the installation up front.
What is the contract length when renting a cooler from Ebac?
There isn't a minimum rental period, but if you can make a commitment of 2 years to us then you won't have to pay the installation charge.
I'm currently in a contract with my current water cooler provider. Can I change to Ebac?
There are ways that we can help you, but as each case is different it's worth giving us a call on (0845) 6341395 to discuss your options.
Can I get a better rental price by extending my contract length?
The rental price won't change but we'll waive the installation charge if you committ to 2 years with us.
Is there any limitation to where I can have my water cooler installed?
All we need to install your cooler is a power socket and to connect to a mains water pipe. If it's not practical to locate your cooler near to a kitchen or toilet (where you're likley to have a water pipe) then it's usually a simple job for a plumber to get you water to where you need it.
Who will carry out the installation?
We have a team of dedicated installers who will come to your site and get your cooler(s) installed ready for you to use.
How long does the installation take?
Each cooler will take an hour to install and set-up. It will take longer if we need to get water and/or electricity to the location.
I'm wanting to replace a bottled water cooler. Can I put a plumbed in water cooler in the same location?
All we need to install your cooler is a power socket and to connect to a mains water pipe. If it's not practical to locate your cooler near to a kitchen or toilet (where you're likley to have a water pipe) then it's usually a simple job for a plumber to get you water to where you need it.
I've not used a water cooler before. Are they easy to use and maintain?
Water coolers are easy to use and service, particularly when you let us take care of everything for you. After installation, your installer will give you basic training on the water cooler itself.
I'm worried about my carbon footprint. How will this cooler affect it?
It's more likely that you'll reduce carbon emissions by introducing a watercooler instead of using kettles and fridges around the office. Our models are energy efficient as we insulate the cold and hot tanks to a high standard.
We have over 100 people in our office. How many water coolers would you recommend we rent?
It all really depends on whether they take their coffee break at the same time? Most of our coolers will dispense 6 cups of water hot enough for tea or coffee and then it will take around 15 minutes to recover, 3-4 coolers would probably give you enough capacity. If you wanted to have enough capacity for everybody taking a break at the same time you would need 17.
Can I use a Hot and Cold water cooler to make cups of Tea and Coffee?
Hot water from our water coolers is the perfect temperature for tea or coffee and you don't have to wait for the kettle to boil.
Can I personalise a water cooler?
It is possible to have different coloured panels on certain models and to apply stickers with Company logos.
How does the taste from of water from a plumbed in cooler differ from tap water?
What most of us dislike about tap water is the chlorine taste, our coolers filter the water to remove the chlorine giving the water a crisper taste. Chilling the water is the other factor that makes the experience refreshing.
Are water coolers hygienic?
Ebac Water Coolers are designed to be hygienic and all the water contact parts aren't easily touched when dispensing water.
How often should my water cooler be sanitised?
Your water cooler will need to be sanitised every six months. This can be done by yourself (we'll send a sanitisation kit and instructions) or you can choose to let us sanitise it for you.
Is sanitisation included in my rental price?
When you select a water cooler for rental, you'll be asked to select some rental options. One of these options is to either self sanitise or let us sanitise the cooler for you.
Will I get plastic cups with my water cooler?
We can supply cups at an extra cost, but it's more likely that your staff will use their own mugs or glasses.
How do I order more cups?
Simply order them on-line and we'll get them to you within 10 days.
When will I be billed for my water cooler rental?
