AMERICAN STANDARD WATER HEATERS EVR052*2X***

0.93 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade 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).

For a second opinion on this rating: AMERICAN STANDARD WATER HEATERS EVR052*2X*** uses 3,493 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 38 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh among 426 electric tank models.


Energy use per year

3,493 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 153 of 426, lowest energy first.

This model: 3,493 kWh

Solid line: this model (3,493 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.93 for this model. The registry does not publish the annual figure. This site computed 3,493 kWh by combining that UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure therefore applies to the test's draw, not to any particular home. The class median for the 426 electric tank models registered at the medium draw pattern is 3,531 kWh, so this model sits 38 kWh below it. Its rank is 153rd lowest energy use of 426, which places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use.

The figure suits a reader whose hot-water use resembles the medium draw pattern, meaning a typical household on a busy morning. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 62 gallons for this model. The rated volume is 48 gallons. Those two values describe capacity, while 3,493 kWh describes energy use at the test's draw. A household that draws more or less hot water than the test assumes will use a different amount of electricity, and the data here gives no figure for other draw patterns. The 38 kWh gap from the median is measured only within the medium draw pattern and should not be compared with models in other classes.

Running cost is not written here because it depends on your own utility electricity rate. The cost calculator applies the rate for your ZIP to 3,493 kWh, and how the annual cost is calculated explains the steps. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on the page with its source and date. It is a range, not a quote. If you are checking a swap, you can find a same-class replacement by model number and compare its energy use with this model's 3,493 kWh and the class median of 3,531 kWh. Anything the registry does not list for EVR052*2X*** is unknown here and is not estimated.
