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 this unit against the registry, GE GE40S10BAM01 uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That equals the class median of 3,531 kWh across the 426 electric tank models at that pattern, a difference of 0 kWh.


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 registry lists GE GE40S10BAM01 with a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.92. This site computed the annual figure of 3,531 kWh from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern, which describes a typical household on a busy morning. The registry itself does not publish an annual energy figure. The unit ranks 213th lowest in energy use of 426 electric tank models at this pattern. Its difference from the class median of 3,531 kWh is 0 kWh, so it sits in the lower-middle part of its class. The method is set out in how the annual cost is calculated.

The figure applies only to the medium draw pattern. A household whose morning hot-water use is heavier or lighter than that pattern may see different energy use, and this page has no figure for other patterns. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 66 gallons for this model, with a rated volume of 40 gallons. Those two values describe supply, not efficiency, so they do not change the 3,531 kWh figure. A household comparing fuel, space and tank size can use the water heater selector. The data here does not show whether this model meets any particular household's peak demand.

Running cost is not stated in the text because it depends on your own utility electricity rate. Multiplying the 3,531 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour gives a check, and the cost calculator does this from your ZIP. The energy figure comes from DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19, so later registry changes are not reflected. A modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page with its source and date; it is not a quote. To compare GE40S10BAM01 with another unit of the same class, you can find a same-class replacement by model number. Actual household use is not measured here.
