BRADFORD WHITE CTEH005********
0.96 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade E: where this UEF sits among the 271 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tankless unit, very small draw pattern (small units - a single bathroom, or a point-of-use heater under a sink).
Checking the energy figure for BRADFORD WHITE CTEH005********: this electric tankless unit uses 615 kWh of electricity a year at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That equals its class median of 615 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh, and ranks 77th lowest of 271.
Energy use per year
615 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 615 kWh for the 271 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 77 of 271, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (615 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 615 kWh is not a metered result. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used. The UEF is 0.96 for this model. The site combined it with the daily hot-water draw that the DOE test assigns to the very small draw pattern. The registry did not compute the annual figure. The source data are the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The class median for the 271 electric tankless models registered at this draw pattern is 615 kWh, so this model differs from the median by 0 kWh. Its rank of 77th lowest places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use. That rank describes position within this class only; it says nothing about other draw patterns or fuels.
The very small draw pattern covers small units, such as a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink. The 615 kWh figure fits a household whose hot-water use resembles that standard daily draw. It does not describe whole-house use, and this page has no energy value for any other draw pattern. The maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.5 for this model. The data on this page do not say whether that flow suits a particular fixture, and they do not include the temperature of the incoming water. A reader whose actual use is larger or smaller than the federal test draw should treat 615 kWh as a reference point, not a prediction. The water heater selector by fuel, space and size covers those other cases.
The running cost is not written in the text because it depends on your utility's electricity tariff. The quantity to price is 615 kWh a year, the figure at the very small draw pattern. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies your rate to it, and the method for the annual cost explains each step. To compare units in the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page with its source and date, so it is not repeated here. Two limits apply: the figure was computed, not measured, and the data were retrieved 2026-09-19.
