0.94 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: 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 verifying the HTP ELV055C2X045NDR, this site calculates that it uses 5,278 kWh of electricity a year. That figure belongs to the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 3,972 kWh above the 1,306 kWh median of the 194 electric tank models registered at that draw pattern.
Energy use per year
5,278 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 above the median of 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 172 of 194, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (5,278 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The 5,278 kWh figure does not appear in the registry. This site calculated it from the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the federal test's daily hot-water draw for the high pattern. The registry lists a UEF of 0.94 for the ELV055C2X045NDR under that federal test. The source record comes from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at the test's daily draw. A household that uses more or less hot water will use a different amount of energy, and this page does not know how much. The page on how the annual cost is calculated sets out each step of the conversion.
The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For that use, the registry lists 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 55 gallons. For energy use, the model ranks 172nd lowest of the 194 electric tank models at this draw pattern. That puts it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. If you are checking a unit that is already installed, you can find a same-class replacement by model number to see the other models in this class.
A reader who compares electric tank models on annual energy use will see that this one uses 3,972 kWh more a year than the class median of 1,306 kWh. Both figures are at the high draw pattern. This page does not state what that gap costs. Running cost depends on your own utility's electricity tariff, and this page does not have that tariff. The cost calculator that uses your own ZIP applies your local rate to the 5,278 kWh figure. The installed price range appears in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote, so its figures are not repeated here. The registry data does not explain why this model's energy use is above the class median.
