EEMAX SPEX1812
0.95 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 SPEX1812, this page gives its yearly energy use. It is 622 kWh of electricity at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 7 kWh above the class median of 615 kWh for 271 comparable models.
Energy use per year
622 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 152 of 271, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (622 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure is computed by this site, not the registry. It combines the registry's UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for this draw pattern. UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, is 0.95 for this model. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The steps are described in the water heater methodology. The figure applies only to electricity at the very small draw pattern. This draw pattern describes small units, such as a bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink. Its maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.2. A different draw pattern would give a different figure, which this page does not show for this model.
Among the 271 models in this class, its 622 kWh is 7 kWh above the median of 615 kWh. It ranks 152nd lowest in energy use among the 271 models. That puts it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. The rank counts from lowest to highest energy use, so a lower rank means less electricity. Every model in the class is compared at the very small draw pattern, so the comparison is like for like. It does not cover gas units, larger draw patterns or other fuels. For a same-class list, use the replacement finder by model number.
Running cost depends on the electricity tariff you pay, so this text states no cost figure. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies your utility tariff to the 622 kWh shown here. The installed price range has its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote, and this text does not restate it. The 622 kWh holds only for the very small draw pattern and the federal test's daily draw. A home with a larger load, such as a whole house, needs a different comparison. The selector by fuel, space and size can narrow that search.
