AMERICAN STANDARD WATER HEATERS EVR040*2X***
0.94 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: 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 verifying this model, the registry data gives 3,456 kWh of electricity a year. This is at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 75 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh.
Energy use per year
3,456 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 137 of 426, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (3,456 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 3,456 kWh was computed by this site, not published by the registry. It starts from this model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.94. It then applies the daily hot-water draw that the DOE test sets for this pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19, and the figure applies only at the medium draw pattern. A home with different hot-water demand will see a different total. It is not a measurement of any single home. The steps behind the calculation are set out on the methodology page.
Among the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern, the median is 3,531 kWh a year. This model sits 75 kWh below that median. It has the 137th lowest energy use of 426, in the second-lowest quarter of its class. A reader comparing electric tank models at the medium draw pattern can use this position as a check against the registry. The position holds only for that draw pattern, and the registry data here gives no rank at any other. To check another unit against this class, find a same-class replacement by model number.
This model's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 56 gallons. Its rated volume is 39 gallons. A household whose hot-water demand in one hour exceeds those figures is not described by the 3,456 kWh figure, which rests on the test draw alone. The running cost depends on your own electricity rate, so the text gives no cost figure. The cost calculator for your own ZIP applies your utility rate to the annual energy. A modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block with its source and date. It is not a quote.
