AMERICAN STANDARD WATER HEATERS ARIHPWH-65

3.85 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
B

Grade 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).

Checking AMERICAN STANDARD WATER HEATERS ARIHPWH-65? At the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, it uses 1,289 kWh a year. That is 17 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh, and 82nd lowest of 194 electric tank models.


Energy use per year

1,289 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 82 of 194, lowest energy first.

What these figures mean

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 3.85 for ARIHPWH-65. The registry does not publish an annual energy value. This site computed 1,289 kWh from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern, using DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure is 17 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh. That places the unit in the second-lowest quarter of its class, at 82nd lowest of 194 electric tank models. The comparison holds only at the test's draw. A household that uses more or less hot water than the test assumes will see a different annual figure.

The high draw pattern describes 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 78 gallons for this model. Its rated volume is 62 gallons. Those two values are the ones to compare with your own busiest hour. The registry data does not include your household's peak demand, so this page cannot say whether 78 gallons covers it. An energy figure for this model at any other draw pattern is not available here. The selector by fuel, space and size can help narrow other options.

The running cost is not written in this text because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The 1,289 kWh figure is a quantity of electricity, so multiplying it by your rate per kilowatt-hour gives the yearly cost at the test's draw. The same rate applied to the 17 kWh gap gives the difference from the class median of 1,306 kWh. The cost calculator on your own ZIP does this for you, and the method behind the annual cost explains the calculation. To compare against other units of the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on the page.
