1HVAC ACIQ-50G-HP-WH

3.75 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
A

Grade A: where this UEF sits among the 426 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).

If you are verifying this unit, the 1HVAC ACIQ-50G-HP-WH, an electric tank, uses 866 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 2,665 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh.


Energy use per year

866 kWh a year

Computed by this site from the registry's UEF and the federal test's daily hot-water draw for this draw pattern. What it costs depends on the electricity rate where you live.

That is below the median of 3,531 kWh for the 426 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 21 of 426, lowest energy first.

What these figures mean

The 1HVAC ACIQ-50G-HP-WH has a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 3.75. This site computed the annual figure of 866 kWh from that registry UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The registry does not publish the figure itself. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The class median for the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern is 3,531 kWh, so this model sits 2,665 kWh below it. Its rank is 21st lowest energy use of 426, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The method behind the annual figure is documented separately.

The 866 kWh figure applies only to the medium draw pattern, which stands for a typical household on a busy morning. A home that draws less hot water than the test does would use less than 866 kWh, and a home that draws more would use more. Figures for other draw patterns are not available on this page. The unit lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 69 gallons, and a rated volume of 47 gallons. If your peak hourly demand exceeds 69 gallons, the annual energy figure does not show whether supply will keep up. The water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size.

This page states no running cost in the text. It depends on your own utility electricity rate, and 866 kWh is the quantity that rate is applied to. Enter your ZIP in the cost calculator to see the cost for this model at your rate. The installed-cost range appears in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote, and it is not repeated here. The 866 kWh is a calculation from test values and not a measurement of any single home. To compare this model against others of its class, you can find a same-class replacement by model number.
