The figure of 5,334 kWh is not a measurement taken in a home. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.93 for this model, and from the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The registry also lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 78 gallons, and a rated volume of 50 gallons.

The comparison group is the 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern. Within that group, this model uses 4,028 kWh more per year than the class median of 1,306 kWh. Its rank of 185th lowest energy use of 194 puts it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. The comparison holds only inside this class and draw pattern. It says nothing about other heater types. Someone verifying a spec sheet or a quote can check these figures against the registry. A household that wants lower annual energy use than 5,334 kWh can use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size or find a same-class replacement by model number.

The running cost is not written here because it depends on your own utility electricity rate, which this text does not know. The registry data gives 5,334 kWh at the federal test's daily draw, so a household that draws more or less hot water than that test will use a different amount. To apply your own rate, the cost calculator on your ZIP computes the annual cost for this model. The steps behind that calculation are described in how the annual cost is calculated. The installed-cost range is shown in its own block with its source and date, and it is a modeled range, not a quote.
