ARISTON ENS40T-*
0.92 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).
You are checking the energy figure for one unit. The ARISTON ENS40T-* uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That figure is 0 kWh away from the class median of 3,531 kWh, so it sits equal to the median.
Energy use per year
3,531 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 equal to the median of 3,531 kWh for the 426 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 213 of 426, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (3,531 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The annual figure of 3,531 kWh is computed by this site, not published by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the daily hot-water draw of the DOE test. The UEF listed for ARISTON ENS40T-* is 0.92. The draw is the medium pattern, so the result does not describe a household with a different daily use. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The calculation is explained on the methodology page. Real use in a home can differ, because the test draw is a standard and not a measurement of one household.
This model is compared with the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern. It ranks 213th lowest in energy use of 426, which is the second-lowest quarter of its class. The class median is 3,531 kWh, and the difference from the median is 0 kWh. At this draw pattern, then, the model uses the same energy as the middle model of its class. A rank near the middle means the figure of 3,531 kWh is typical for this class, not low or high. The comparison covers only electric tanks at the medium draw pattern. This page has no figure for other draw patterns or other fuels.
The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 51 gallons for this model. Its rated volume is 36 gallons. The energy figure fits a household whose use matches the medium draw pattern. For a household with a larger morning demand, this page cannot say whether the model is enough. Running cost is not stated here, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The cost calculator applies your ZIP to 3,531 kWh. To compare other fuels, sizes or space limits, use the water heater selector.
