G

Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 426 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).

If you are checking GE GE30L08BSM01 against the registry, it uses 3,493 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 38 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh for electric tanks.


Energy use per year

3,493 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 below the median of 3,531 kWh for the 426 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 153 of 426, lowest energy first.

What it costs to install

Not published: Installed cost range

This model's rated tank size lies outside the range NLR REMDB's cost model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.

The annual energy figure on this page does not depend on this range and is unaffected.


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 3,493 kWh figure is not a registry entry. This site computed it from two inputs. The first is the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.93 for GE GE30L08BSM01. The second is the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The fuel is electricity, and the DOE CCD data was retrieved on 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at that test draw. A household that draws more or less hot water than the test assumes will use a different amount, and this page has no measured value for that case. The method behind the annual figure is documented separately.

Among the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern, this unit ranks 153rd lowest energy use of 426. Its 3,493 kWh sits 38 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh, which places it in the lower-middle quarter of the class. The rated volume is 26 gallons. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 58 gallons. This comparison suits a reader who wants to confirm that a listed model matches the registry at the medium draw pattern. It does not cover households whose hot-water use differs from that pattern, and the data here does not rank the unit at any other draw pattern.

This page states no running cost for GE GE30L08BSM01, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The energy figure of 3,493 kWh multiplied by your rate gives the yearly electricity cost, and the cost calculator does that from your ZIP code. An installed price range is not published for this model. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it. If you are checking a swap, you can find a same-class replacement by model number and compare its annual energy at the same medium draw pattern.
