0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade 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 the GE GE30T10BAM02, an electric tank, it uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 0 kWh from the class median of 3,531 kWh across 426 models. This site computed the figure from the registry's UEF.
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.
Solid line: this model (3,531 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry lists a UEF of 0.92 for this model. UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, is the input from which this site computed 3,531 kWh a year. The computation uses the registry's UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern, which represents a typical three- or four-person household on a busy morning. The DOE CCD data was retrieved on 2026-09-19. Among the 426 electric tank models registered at this draw pattern, the GE GE30T10BAM02 ranks 213th lowest for energy use. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its difference from the class median of 3,531 kWh is 0 kWh.
The figure applies only to the medium draw pattern. A household whose hot-water use differs from that pattern should not read 3,531 kWh as its own annual energy, and the data here gives no value for other patterns, so none is stated. The tank has a rated volume of 30 gallons. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 60 gallons. Compare that rating with the hot water your household draws in its busiest hour. This page does not judge whether the size fits any household. Readers still choosing between fuels, spaces or sizes can use the water heater selector, which filters by fuel, space and size.
No running cost appears in this text. It depends on your own utility electricity tariff, and this page does not estimate a rate for you. Multiply 3,531 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour, or enter your ZIP in the cost calculator, which does the same calculation on your local tariff. The steps behind that calculation are described in the methodology for annual cost. Because the figure is a test-based computation and not a measurement in your home, actual use can differ with incoming water temperature and with how much hot water you draw. The data here does not quantify that difference. The installed price range has its own block on this page, with its source and date.
