LAARS water heaters
What LAARS has on file with the DOE CCD — as filed, with no rating of the brand itself.
LAARS has 10 basic models on file with the DOE CCD, across 2 heater types. Of the 10 that sit in a class large enough to compare, 4 use less energy a year than their class median. Every model below links to its own page.
By heater type
Counts and ranges as filed. A class median is only used where eight or more models share the class.
| Heater type | Models | UEF range | Below class median |
|---|---|---|---|
| An electric tankless unit | 6 | 0.91–0.96 | 0 of 6 |
| A gas tankless unit | 4 | 0.96–0.98 | 4 of 4 |
Every model
Grouped by heater type, alphabetical within each.
A gas tankless unit 4 models
An electric tankless unit 6 models
What this page does not say
Nothing about how long LAARS heaters last, how often they fail or how its warranty compares: no registry this site reads publishes any of it, and this site does not estimate it. The DOE CCD records what each model is certified to do, and that is what this page counts.
