AMERICAN HPACO-45 1**+AXST-66 1**
3.7 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade C: where this UEF sits among the 194 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
If your household is larger, or showers and laundry overlap, this AMERICAN HPACO-45 1**+AXST-66 1** electric tank uses 1,341 kWh a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 35 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh.
Energy use per year
1,341 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 above the median of 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 101 of 194, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (1,341 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

UEF 3.7 · Grade C Price it on your ZIP
The registry lists this model with a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 3.7. This site combined that UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern to reach 1,341 kWh of electricity a year. The registry does not publish that annual figure itself. It applies only at the federal test's draw and was retrieved from DOE CCD on 2026-09-19. Energy use in a real home depends on how much hot water is drawn, and this page has no data on that. The class median is 1,306 kWh, so this model sits 35 kWh above it. The method used for the annual figure is described on its own page.
Ranked from lowest energy use, this model is 101st of 194 electric tank models registered at the high draw pattern. That places it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. Its rated volume is 60 gallons, and its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 82 gallons. The high draw pattern is meant for a larger household or overlapping showers and laundry, but these figures cannot show that a particular home is covered, because no household data is available here. A reader whose main aim is the lowest energy use in this class will find that this model is above the median. The same-class replacement search by model number lists other models in the class.
The running cost is not written in this text because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. Multiply 1,341 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour, or enter your ZIP in the cost calculator for your own ZIP. The result holds only at the federal test's draw, so a home that draws more or less hot water will differ. The 35 kWh gap to the class median of 1,306 kWh is an energy difference, and its cost effect also depends on your rate. The installed price range is shown in its own block with its source and date, as a modeled range and not a quote, so it is not repeated here. To compare by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.
