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 GE40S10BMM01, it uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, here a typical three- or four-person household. That equals the class median of 3,531 kWh, 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

What these figures mean

The registry lists GE GE40S10BMM01 with a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.92. This site combined that UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern to reach 3,531 kWh of electricity a year. The registry itself does not publish that annual figure. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern, this unit ranks 213th lowest for energy use, in the second-lowest quarter of its class. The difference from the class median of 3,531 kWh is 0 kWh. The method behind the annual figures is documented separately.

The 3,531 kWh figure applies only at the medium draw pattern. This unit has a rated volume of 40 gallons and a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 65 gallons. The figure describes a household whose daily hot-water use resembles the typical three- or four-person pattern. A household with heavier morning demand may see different energy use, and the registry data on this page does not say by how much. Because the difference from the median is 0 kWh, energy use alone does not separate this model from a typical one in its class. To compare by fuel, space and size, the water heater selector covers those inputs.

The running cost of 3,531 kWh depends on the electricity tariff the reader pays, so this text states no rate and no cost amount. The cost calculator applies the reader's own ZIP to this energy figure. The installed price range appears in its own block, with its source and date, as a modeled installed-cost range and not a quote. Actual household use can differ from the test's daily draw, and the registry holds no data on any individual home. To look for another model in the same class, search by model number starting from GE40S10BMM01.
