HUBBELL ME80
0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade C: where this UEF sits among the 21 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank your utility can shift to off-peak hours, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
If you are checking this unit, it uses 5,392 kWh a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. The HUBBELL ME80 equals its class median of 5,392 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh. It ranks 3rd lowest of 21 models.
Energy use per year
5,392 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 equal to the median of 5,392 kWh for the 21 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 3 of 21, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (5,392 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What it costs to install
Not published: Installed cost range
This model's rated tank size 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.

UEF 0.92 · Grade C Price it on your ZIP
The figure of 5,392 kWh was computed by this site, not published by the registry. It starts from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used. The HUBBELL ME80 lists a UEF of 0.92. The site applies that UEF to the daily hot-water draw in the DOE test for the high draw pattern. The fuel is electricity, and the source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The heater type is an electric tank your utility can shift to off-peak hours. The figure holds only at the federal test's draw. It does not measure how much hot water any one household actually uses.
The class median for the 21 models registered as the same heater type at the high draw pattern is 5,392 kWh. This model differs from that median by 0 kWh. Its rank of 3rd lowest of 21 places it in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use. A high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The unit lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 85 gallons. Its rated volume is 78 gallons. For a household with a lower daily draw, this figure does not apply, and this page gives no value for other draw patterns. The selector by fuel, space and size covers other options.
The running cost depends on your own utility electricity tariff, so this text gives no cost figure. The cost calculator applies the rate for your ZIP to the 5,392 kWh shown here. Details on how the annual cost is calculated are on the methodology page. The installed price range is not published for the HUBBELL ME80. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on. The range is not stretched past it, so no installed price is shown. You can find a same-class replacement by model number if you need to compare it with this unit's 5,392 kWh.
