GE GP40T**AYV01

0.62 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
F

Grade F: where this UEF sits among the 288 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

A gas tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).

Checking the GE GP40T**AYV01 against the registry? This gas tank unit uses 179 therms of natural gas a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 6 therms below the class median of 185 therms among 288 models.


Energy use per year

179 therms 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 natural gas rate where you live.

That is below the median of 185 therms for the 288 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 72 of 288, lowest energy first.

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 registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.62 for this model. The registry does not list annual energy. This site computed 179 therms from that UEF and the daily hot-water draw of the DOE test. It applies to the medium draw pattern only. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. A home that uses more or less hot water than the test draw will use a different amount of gas. The method behind the annual figure is documented on its own page. The registry gives no measured consumption for any single home.

Among the 288 models registered as a gas tank at the medium draw pattern, this one has the 72nd lowest energy use. That puts it in the lowest quarter of its class. Its 179 therms compares with a class median of 185 therms, a difference of 6 therms below. That difference holds only at the medium draw pattern. The registry data used here gives rank and median, but not the full spread of the class. A reader comparing two units should check that both use the same fuel, tank type and draw pattern. A comparison across different classes would not match this ranking.

The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 68 gallons for this model. The tank holds 40 gallons. A household whose busiest hour draws more than 68 gallons falls outside what this rating covers. A household with a much higher daily draw than the medium draw pattern would also use more gas than 179 therms. Running cost depends on your state average residential gas price, so this text states none. Enter your ZIP in the cost calculator to see it.
