GE GE50S10BMM01

0.93 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 194 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).

If you are checking the GE GE50S10BMM01, it uses 5,334 kWh a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 4,028 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh. It ranks 185th lowest in energy use of 194 models.


Energy use per year

5,334 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 above the median of 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 185 of 194, lowest energy first.

This model: 5,334 kWh

Solid line: this model (5,334 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

Safety record

No CPSC recall names this model.

Checked against the CPSC recall database. CPSC does not publish a model-level match for this product category, so this list is curated by hand from the manufacturer's recall filings.

What these figures mean

The figure of 5,334 kWh was computed by this site, not by the registry. It uses the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw. The UEF listed for this model is 0.93. The fuel is electricity, and the source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only to the high draw pattern. The comparison class is the 194 models registered as an electric tank at that draw pattern, and its median is 1,306 kWh.

This model has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 75 gallons. Its rated volume is 50 gallons. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. Its energy use sits 4,028 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh, in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. Households with smaller hot-water demand fall outside the condition this figure was computed for. The data here does not say what they would use. To narrow options by fuel, space and size, the water heater selector takes those inputs.

The running cost is not written in this text because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. Multiply the 5,334 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour, or enter your ZIP in the cost calculator. The calculation method explains how the annual cost is worked out. The gap of 4,028 kWh from the class median of 1,306 kWh is priced at that same rate. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. To look for a same-class model, search by model number.
