ACIQ ACIQ-50G-HP-WH
3.75 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade 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 checking whether ACIQ ACIQ-50G-HP-WH matches its listing, the federal test data show 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, which puts it 21st lowest of 426 electric tank models.
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.
Solid line: this model (866 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The annual figure of 866 kWh was computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 3.75 with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The comparison group is the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the same draw pattern. Their median is 3,531 kWh, and this unit sits 2,665 kWh below it. Its rank of 21st lowest of 426 places it in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use.
The figure of 866 kWh holds only for the medium draw pattern. A household that uses more hot water than the test's daily draw should expect higher energy use. This page has no figure for other draw patterns. The tank has a rated volume of 47 gallons. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 69 gallons. A household whose busiest hour needs more hot water than 69 gallons is not covered by that rating. The water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size, and the same-class replacement finder works from a model number.
The running cost is not stated in the text because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. It is the annual energy of 866 kWh priced at that tariff, so two households with the same unit can pay different amounts. The cost calculator for your ZIP computes it, and the method behind the annual cost is documented separately. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date, as a modeled range and not a quote. The gap of 2,665 kWh from the class median of 3,531 kWh describes test energy use only. The energy figure was retrieved on 2026-09-19 and reflects the registry entry as of that date.
