The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.93 for this model. This site, not the registry, computed 5,334 kWh of electricity a year from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The class is the 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern, and its median is 1,306 kWh. This model sits 4,028 kWh above that median, at 185th lowest of 194, which is the highest quarter of the class for energy use. The figure applies only at the test's draw. Energy use in a particular home is not available from this data.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 78 gallons for this model, and the rated volume is 50 gallons. Those two figures suit a reader who has already settled on an electric tank and wants to check capacity against that household. They do not suit a reader whose main concern is low energy use, because 5,334 kWh places the model 185th lowest of 194. To compare fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector. To look for a same-class alternative, start from the replacement finder by model number.

The running cost is not stated here because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff, which this data does not contain. Multiplying 5,334 kWh by your rate gives the cost at the test's draw. The same rate applied to the 4,028 kWh gap shows the cost difference from the class median of 1,306 kWh. The cost calculator does this from your ZIP, and the methodology page explains how the annual cost is calculated. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote, and it is not repeated in this text.
