ARISTON ENS50LU-*

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 quick check, the ARISTON ENS50LU-* 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 across the 426 models registered as an electric tank at this draw pattern.


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.

No CPSC recall names this model.

Checked against the CPSC recall database. CPSC does not publish a model-level match for this product category, so this list is curated by hand from the manufacturer's recall filings.

What these figures mean

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.93 for this model. This site multiplies that UEF by the daily hot-water draw of the medium draw pattern. The result is 3,493 kWh a year, and the registry itself does not publish it. The figure comes from DOE CCD data retrieved on 2026-09-19. It holds only at the federal test's daily draw. A household that draws more or less hot water will use a different amount. Method details are in how the annual cost is calculated.

Among the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern, this one has the 153rd lowest energy use. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its 3,493 kWh sits 38 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh. The comparison uses energy use only and leaves out purchase price. First hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 52 gallons for this model. The rank covers only this class and draw pattern. To compare other units, use the same-class replacement finder by model number.

The energy figure of 3,493 kWh suits a check on households whose hot-water use resembles the medium draw pattern. It is a weaker guide for households that use much more or less hot water each day, because the annual figure scales with the draw. Capacity is a separate question from energy: the rated volume is 42 gallons. Running cost depends on your own electricity rate, which the registry does not contain. This page states no cost amount for that reason. The cost calculator on your own ZIP multiplies your utility rate by 3,493 kWh. The installed price range appears in its own block and is not repeated here.
