EEMAX SPEX3012T

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 SPEX3012T, it uses 615 kWh of electricity a year. That figure applies to the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It equals the class median of 615 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh.


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.

Safety record

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 a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.96 for this unit. This site combined that UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the very small draw pattern. The result is 615 kWh of electricity a year. The registry does not publish that annual figure itself, so it is a site calculation. It applies only to the test draw. A household that draws more or less hot water than the test will use a different amount. The data was retrieved from DOE CCD on 2026-09-19. The method is described in how the annual cost is calculated.

Among 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. Its 615 kWh equals the class median of 615 kWh, so the difference is 0 kWh. The unit has a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 0.3. The very small draw pattern covers small units, such as a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink. A larger household load falls outside the pattern this figure describes. The flow rate of 0.3 is the only capacity figure in this data, so nothing more is stated about larger demand.

The running cost depends on your own electricity rate, which is not in this data, so no cost is written here. Multiply 615 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour to get a yearly figure at the test draw. The cost calculator on your own ZIP does this with the utility tariff for your area. The installed price range is shown in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. To compare another unit in the same class, use the same-class replacement search by model number with SPEX3012T. Compare only units at the very small draw pattern, or the energy figures will not match.
