0.91 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: 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 GE GE04SNLPDG01 against the registry, it uses 649 kWh of electricity a year at the federal test's very small daily hot-water draw. That is 34 kWh above the class median of 615 kWh and ranks 265th lowest in energy use among 271 electric tankless models.
Energy use per year
649 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 265 of 271, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (649 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.91 for this model. This site applied that UEF to the daily hot-water draw of the DOE test and obtained 649 kWh a year. The figure belongs to the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, which covers small units such as a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink. The registry does not publish this annual figure. This site computes it from DOE CCD data retrieved on 2026-09-19. It describes the federal test's daily draw, not use in any particular home. The method is set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
The class median for the 271 electric tankless models registered at this draw pattern is 615 kWh. This model sits 34 kWh above that median and ranks 265th lowest in energy use, which places it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. A lower figure in this comparison means less electricity used at the same test draw. The listed maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.3, and the draw pattern covers small loads such as a point-of-use heater under a sink. Performance at larger draws is not available in this data. Readers whose priority is the lowest energy use within the class will find many registered models below this figure. The water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size.
The running cost is not stated here because it depends on your own electricity tariff. Multiplying 649 kWh by your rate gives the cost at the test's draw, and the cost calculator does this from your ZIP. Actual use differs if your daily hot-water draw differs from the federal test, and this page has no data on how far it might differ. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page with its source and date. It is not a quote and is not repeated here. To compare against same-class alternatives, you can find a replacement by model number, starting from GE04SNLPDG01.
