E

Grade 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 EEMAX AM008277T, an electric tankless unit, for a single bathroom or under-sink use. It uses 615 kWh a year at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That equals the 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.

This model: 615 kWh

Solid line: this model (615 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The figure of 615 kWh is not read directly from the registry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.96 for this model. It also used the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the very small pattern. The underlying registry data come from DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The result applies only at that test draw. A household that draws a different daily volume would use a different amount, and that amount is not available here. The method behind the annual calculation is documented on its own page.

The maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.8 for this model. The draw pattern behind the energy figure describes small units: a single bathroom, or a point-of-use heater under a sink. A household that needs hot water at several fixtures at once falls outside that pattern, so the 615 kWh figure does not describe its use. The registry data on this page do not state how many fixtures the unit can serve. Among the 271 electric tankless models registered at this draw pattern, the 77th lowest energy use places it in the second-lowest quarter. Its difference of 0 kWh from the class median of 615 kWh means it sits exactly at the typical class figure.

The running cost is not written as an amount because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The 615 kWh figure holds at the very small draw pattern, so any cost built on it holds only under the same condition. The cost calculator applies the tariff for your ZIP to that figure. The installed-price range appears in its own block with its source and date, and it is a modeled range, not a quote. If you need a unit in the same class as model AM008277T, you can find a same-class replacement by model number. The water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size.
