Tankless water heaters—also known as on-demand systems—offer a sleek, energy-efficient solution for domestic hot water. Unlike traditional tanks, these units heat water only when needed, providing continuous hot water while eliminating standby energy loss. Their compact, wall-mounted design saves valuable space and is ideal for both new construction and retrofit applications.
To enhance performance and safety, we recommend integrating a three-way mixing valve into your tankless system. This valve blends hot water from the heater with cold water to deliver precisely tempered water to fixtures, reducing the risk of scalding and improving comfort—especially in homes with children or elderly residents. It also allows the tankless unit to operate at a higher temperature internally, which can increase hot water output and improve system efficiency.
Additionally, mixing valves help protect plumbing components from thermal stress and extend the overall performance of your hot water system by maintaining consistent flow and temperature across multiple fixtures.
