EEMAX AM004120T
0.93 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade F: 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).
If you are checking the EEMAX AM004120T, the site computes 635 kWh of electricity a year for it at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 20 kWh above the class median of 615 kWh, placing it 218th lowest of 271 models.
Energy use per year
635 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 above the median of 615 kWh for the 271 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 218 of 271, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (635 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 635 kWh comes from this site's own calculation, not from the registry. It starts from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.93 for this model. The site then applies the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the very small draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.3. The figure holds only at that test draw, and use at any other draw is not available in the data. Because the calculation is done by this site, a reader can reproduce it from the two inputs named above.
The EEMAX AM004120T sits 20 kWh above the class median of 615 kWh. Its rank of 218th lowest of 271 places it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. The very small draw pattern describes small units, such as a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink, so the comparison is meaningful for that kind of load. It says nothing about a whole-home load, because the figure is valid only at the very small draw. To see other models registered in the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number. To narrow by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.
The running cost is not written in this text because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The annual use of 635 kWh is the quantity that your rate multiplies, and the 20 kWh gap to the class median of 615 kWh is multiplied in the same way. To get a cost for your address, enter your ZIP in the cost calculator. The steps behind that calculation are set out in how the annual cost is calculated. A modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote, and it is not restated here.
