GE Profile PF50S10FPY01

3.2 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
C

Grade C: 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 unit's energy figure: GE Profile PF50S10FPY01 uses 1,015 kWh a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 2,516 kWh below the 3,531 kWh median of the 426 electric tank models registered at that draw pattern.


Energy use per year

1,015 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 110 of 426, lowest energy first.

This model: 1,015 kWh

Solid line: this model (1,015 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 3.2 for this model. The registry does not publish annual energy, so this site computed 1,015 kWh from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The figure applies only to that draw pattern and to electricity. It is not a measurement of any particular home. Among the 426 electric tank models registered at this pattern, the model ranks 110th lowest of 426 for energy use, in the second-lowest quarter of its class. The gap to the 3,531 kWh median is 2,516 kWh, with this model below it. Source: DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19.

The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 59 gallons, and the rated volume is 50 gallons. The 1,015 kWh figure suits a household whose hot-water use resembles the medium draw pattern, which stands for a typical household on a busy morning. It does not describe a household with a heavier draw, and this page has no annual figure for the other draw patterns. A reader whose busiest-hour demand exceeds 59 gallons cannot treat this figure as a sign of enough hot water. To compare by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector, or find a same-class replacement by model number.

Running cost is not written here because it depends on your own electricity rate. Multiplying 1,015 kWh by your price per kilowatt-hour gives a first estimate at the medium draw pattern. A home that uses more or less hot water than the test's daily draw will differ from it. The cost calculator applies the utility tariff for your ZIP to this model's figure, and the annual cost methodology explains how the calculation works. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote, and this text does not repeat it. The 2,516 kWh gap to the class median is stated in energy, so converting it to cost needs the same rate.
