GE GE30S10BMM01

0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
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 verifying the GE GE30S10BMM01: it uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That equals its class median of 3,531 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh, among 426 electric tank models.


Energy use per year

3,531 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 3,531 kWh for the 426 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 213 of 426, lowest energy first.

This model: 3,531 kWh

Solid line: this model (3,531 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The figure of 3,531 kWh a year was computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.92 with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only to electricity as the fuel and to that test draw. A household that draws more or less hot water than the test assumes will use a different amount, and this page does not estimate it. The methodology page sets out how the annual cost is calculated from figures like this one.

Among the 426 electric tank models registered at the medium draw pattern, this unit ranks 213th lowest for energy use. Its difference from the class median of 3,531 kWh is 0 kWh, which places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. That position describes energy use only, at the test draw. It says nothing about comfort, capacity or lifespan. The registry lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 59 gallons, and a rated volume of 30 gallons. A household whose morning demand exceeds those values can compare sizes with the water heater selector, which filters by fuel, space and size.

Running cost is not written here because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. Multiply 3,531 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour to get the yearly electricity cost at the medium draw pattern. The cost calculator does this from your ZIP code. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date, as a modeled installed-cost range and not a quote. Its figures are not restated here. If you need a unit in the same class for comparison, the replacement finder searches by model number, and you can start from GE30S10BMM01. The energy figure was retrieved 2026-09-19, so check that date against the registry if you need current data.
