Essency EXR-D

0.93 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 194 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).

Checking the energy use of this electric tank? The Essency EXR-D uses 5,334 kWh a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 4,028 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh, and it ranks 185th lowest in energy use of 194 models.


Energy use per year

5,334 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 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 185 of 194, lowest energy first.

This model: 5,334 kWh

Solid line: this model (5,334 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The figure of 5,334 kWh is not a registry entry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.93 for this model. It also used the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The fuel is electricity, and the source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The result applies only at that test draw. A household that uses more or less hot water than the test assumes will use a different amount, and this page has no data to estimate that difference.

Among the 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern, the Essency EXR-D ranks 185th lowest in energy use. That places it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. Its figure is 4,028 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh. The comparison holds only for that class and draw pattern, and it says nothing about other fuels or other draw patterns. The registry also lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 80 gallons, with a rated volume of 55 gallons. The high draw pattern represents a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap.

The running cost is not written here because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. You can multiply 5,334 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour, or use the cost calculator to compute it from your ZIP. The steps are described in how the annual cost is calculated. Because this model sits 4,028 kWh above the class median, a reader who ranks by energy use at this draw pattern will see 185th lowest of 194. In that case, find a same-class replacement by model number lets you compare other models registered in the same class. The installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date.
