ARISTON ENS50T-*

0.92 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).

If you are checking this unit's figures: the ARISTON ENS50T-* uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That equals the class median of 3,531 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh, and ranks 213th lowest of 426 models.


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.

This model: 3,531 kWh

Solid line: this model (3,531 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 0.92 for this electric tank. This site, not the registry, computed the 3,531 kWh figure from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The energy data comes from DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only under those test conditions and counts electricity use, not price. A household with different daily hot-water use would see different energy use, and this page does not estimate that difference. The steps behind the calculation are described in how the annual cost is calculated.

The class here is the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern. Their median is 3,531 kWh, so this model differs from the median by 0 kWh. It ranks 213th lowest for energy use of 426, which places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. That position describes energy use at the test draw only; it does not rank models on price, size or hot-water delivery. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 60 gallons, and the rated volume is 45 gallons. A household whose morning demand exceeds those figures is outside what this comparison covers. To compare units by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.

Running cost is not written in this text because it depends on your own utility electricity rate. The cost calculation starts from 3,531 kWh at the medium draw pattern and applies the tariff for your ZIP; the cost calculator on your own ZIP does this for you. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote, and it is not restated here. If you are replacing this unit, you can find a same-class replacement by model number using ENS50T-*. What this page cannot show is energy use in a home whose hot-water demand differs from the test draw.
