AMERICAN HPTS-80 2**
3.88 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade B: 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 you are checking what the AMERICAN HPTS-80 2** uses in a year, the figure is 1,279 kWh of electricity at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 27 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh.
Energy use per year
1,279 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 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 72 of 194, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (1,279 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What it costs to install
Not published: Installed cost range
This model's rated tank size lies outside the range NLR REMDB's cost model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.
The annual energy figure on this page does not depend on this range and is unaffected.
Safety record
No CPSC recall names this model.
Checked against the CPSC recall database. CPSC does not publish a model-level match for this product category, so this list is curated by hand from the manufacturer's recall filings.

The 1,279 kWh figure is not a registry entry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 3.88 for this model. It also used the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The fuel is electricity, and the source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure describes the federal test's daily draw only. A household that draws more or less hot water than that will use another amount, and this page has no data on how much. The heater type is an electric tank, and the class comparison below uses the same type and draw pattern. How the calculation works is set out in the annual cost methodology.
Among the 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern, this model has the 72nd lowest energy use. Its 1,279 kWh sits 27 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh, which places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The high draw pattern fits a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 95 gallons. The rated volume is 82 gallons. A household should check those two ratings against its own peak-hour demand, because the energy figure does not measure that demand. For a smaller household, the water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size, and a same-class replacement can be found by model number.
Running cost is not stated here, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The cost calculator takes your ZIP and applies your rate to the 1,279 kWh at the high draw pattern. The 27 kWh gap to the class median of 1,306 kWh is a difference in energy. What it is worth in money depends on that same rate, and this page does not estimate it. The installed price range is not published for this model, because its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it. The registry data also does not show how this unit performs in a home whose daily draw departs from the federal test.
