EEMAX ECO 8

0.96 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
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).

If you are checking the EEMAX ECO 8 against the registry, it uses 615 kWh of electricity 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, among 271 comparable electric tankless models.


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.

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 figure of 615 kWh is computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.96 with the daily hot-water draw that the DOE test assigns to the very small draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only to that draw pattern, and this page has no value for any other. The unit ranks 77th lowest energy use of 271, which places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its difference from the class median of 615 kWh is 0 kWh. Details of the calculation are in how the annual cost is calculated.

The registry lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 0.7 for this model. The very small draw pattern covers small units, meaning a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink, so that is the use the 615 kWh figure describes. The data suits a reader confirming a small, single-location application. It does not suit a reader who needs to supply several fixtures at once, because the data on this page does not show whether 0.7 gallons per minute meets that need. That reader can start from the selector by fuel, space and size or look for a same-class replacement by model number.

The running cost is not stated in the text, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. To estimate it, apply your rate per kilowatt-hour to 615 kWh. The cost calculator on your own ZIP does this for you. Because this model sits 0 kWh from the class median of 615 kWh, any cost gap against a median model in its class would come from the rate you pay, not from a registry difference. The figure reflects the federal test's daily draw. Your actual hot-water use in the home is not available here and may differ. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on the page, with its source and date.
