AMERICAN STANDARD WATER HEATERS ARIHPWH-40
3.58 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade B: 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 the AMERICAN STANDARD WATER HEATERS ARIHPWH-40, this site computes 907 kWh of electricity a year for it. That figure applies at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 2,624 kWh below the 3,531 kWh median of the 426 electric tank models registered at that draw pattern.
Energy use per year
907 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 58 of 426, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (907 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.

UEF 3.58 · Grade B Price it on your ZIP
The 907 kWh figure does not come from the registry. This site calculated it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The registry lists a UEF of 3.58 for this model. The source data is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. If a household draws more or less hot water than the test assumes, its electricity use will differ from this figure. Among the 426 electric tank models at the medium draw pattern, this one ranks 58th lowest in energy use, which puts it in the lowest quarter of its class. The calculation steps are set out on the page on how the annual cost is calculated.
The registry gives this model a rated volume of 37 gallons. It also gives a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 66 gallons. These ratings, not the energy figure, show how much hot water the unit can supply at a busy time. The 907 kWh figure applies to a home whose daily use matches the medium draw pattern. For a home that needs more than 66 gallons in its busiest hour, the rating does not cover that demand, and the energy figure does not apply as stated. To check another model in the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number. To compare across fuels, use the selector by fuel, space and size.
The running cost is not given here because it depends on your own utility's electricity tariff. The page calculates it from your ZIP code instead. At any single tariff, the cost is the 907 kWh a year multiplied by your rate. The 2,624 kWh gap below the class median is multiplied by that same rate. An installed price range is not published for this model. Its ratings lie outside the range that the cost database's model was fitted on, and the site does not extend that range beyond its data. To see the yearly figure for your own rate, enter your ZIP code in the cost calculator for your own electricity rate.
