EEMAX SPEX100

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 SPEX100 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 is 0 kWh from the class median of 615 kWh, equal to the median.


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 registry lists this electric tankless unit with UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.96. This site computed the annual figure of 615 kWh from that UEF. It also used the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the very small draw pattern. The registry does not publish the annual figure itself. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at that test draw, so a household with a different daily volume would see a different number, which this page does not estimate. The steps are set out in how the annual figure is calculated.

Compared with the 271 models registered as an electric tankless unit at the very small draw pattern, this model has the 77th lowest energy use. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The difference of 0 kWh from the median means energy use alone does not set it apart within this class. The registry lists its maximum flow rate in gallons per minute as 1. That fits small units, meaning a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink. A reader who needs more flow than 1 gallons per minute is outside what this listing shows. To compare other fuels, spaces and sizes, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.

The running cost is not written here because it depends on your own utility electricity rate. The cost calculator for your ZIP applies that rate to the 615 kWh figure. A modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page with its source and date. It is not a quote, and its figures are not repeated in this text. Because the annual figure is tied to the very small draw pattern, compare it only with models in the same class, where all 271 share that condition. To start from SPEX100 and look for a unit in the same class, use find a same-class replacement by model number. Data for other draw patterns is not part of this page.
