AMERICAN STANDARD WATER HEATERS ARIHPWH-80

4.01 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).

If you are checking this model's energy figure, the AMERICAN STANDARD WATER HEATERS ARIHPWH-80 uses 1,237 kWh of electricity a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 69 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh, ranking 28th lowest of 194 electric tanks.


Energy use per year

1,237 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 28 of 194, lowest energy first.

What these figures mean

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 4.01 for the AMERICAN STANDARD WATER HEATERS ARIHPWH-80. This site combined that UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern to reach 1,237 kWh of electricity a year. The registry does not publish that annual figure itself. The class median is 1,306 kWh, so this model sits 69 kWh below it. That places it 28th lowest of 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern. It is in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The figure comes from DOE CCD data retrieved on 2026-09-19, and how the annual cost is calculated is described separately.

The high draw pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The 1,237 kWh figure fits that use, because it was computed at that test draw. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 87 gallons, and the rated volume is 73 gallons. A household can compare its own peak-hour demand with the 87 gallons. The figure suits less well a household whose daily hot-water use is far from the test draw. Actual energy use would then differ from 1,237 kWh, and the registry gives no data to estimate by how much. To filter by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.

This text does not state a running cost, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The energy figure of 1,237 kWh is the quantity to multiply by your rate per kilowatt-hour, at the same test draw. The cost calculator on your own ZIP does that step and shows the result on the page. The installed price range appears in a separate block with its own source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. To compare with a unit already installed, find a same-class replacement by model number. Any comparison holds only against the class median of 1,306 kWh, which covers 194 electric tanks.
