GE Profile PH50S10BPY01

4.3 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
B

Grade B: 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 Profile PH50S10BPY01, this electric tank uses 1,154 kWh of electricity a year. That figure applies at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It is 152 kWh below the 1,306 kWh median of the 194 electric tank models registered at the same draw pattern.


Energy use per year

1,154 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 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 5 of 194, lowest energy first.

What it costs to install

Not published: Installed cost range

This model's UEF lies outside the range NLR REMDB's cost model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.

The annual energy figure on this page does not depend on this range and is unaffected.


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 1,154 kWh figure comes from this site's calculation, not from the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The registry lists a UEF of 4.3 for the PH50S10BPY01. The source is the DOE Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 194 electric tank models at the high draw pattern, this model ranks 5th lowest in energy use. That places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The figure holds only at the test's daily draw, not at a household's measured use. The method is set out in how this site calculates annual energy and cost.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For that use, the registry gives a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 77 gallons. The rated volume is 50 gallons. A household with lower hot-water demand falls outside the condition behind the 1,154 kWh figure. This page gives no energy value for a lower draw pattern, so that figure is not available here. The class comparison also covers electric tank models only, so it says nothing about gas units. To compare other fuels, spaces or sizes, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.

This page does not state a running cost for the PH50S10BPY01. Cost depends on your own utility's electricity tariff, so the running cost calculator for your ZIP applies your rate to the 1,154 kWh figure. At any single rate, the 152 kWh gap below the 1,306 kWh class median becomes a cost gap in the same direction. An installed price range is not available for this model. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it. If you are matching a unit in the same class, you can find a same-class replacement by model number.
