GE GE40T**DAT01
0.93 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).
Checking this water heater's energy use? The GE GE40T**DAT01 uses 3,493 kWh 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, ranking 153rd lowest of 426.
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.
Solid line: this model (3,493 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 3,493 kWh is computed by this site, not published by the registry. The inputs are the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw. This model's UEF is 0.93. The fuel is electricity, and the source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only for the medium draw pattern, which describes a typical household. It is a modeled value for the test conditions, not a reading from an installed unit. The calculation method is explained on its own page.
Among the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern, this one ranks 153rd lowest for energy use. It is 38 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh, in the second-lowest quarter of its class. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 57 gallons. The rated volume is 40 gallons. These figures fit a household whose use matches the medium draw pattern. A household with heavier demand should compare the first hour rating with its own peak use. The water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size.
The running cost is not stated here because it depends on your utility's electricity rate. Multiply 3,493 kWh by that rate to get a cost at the medium draw pattern. The cost calculator does this from your ZIP code. Actual use differs if your household's daily hot-water draw differs from the test's. The registry data does not give a measured annual figure for installed units, so that difference is unknown for this model. The installed price range is shown in its own block as a modeled range, not a quote. To find a same-class replacement, search by model number.
