KWICKSHOT TEF030V277

0.95 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
F

Grade F: where this UEF sits among the 271 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tankless unit, very small draw pattern (small units - a single bathroom, or a point-of-use heater under a sink).

Checking the KWICKSHOT TEF030V277 against the registry? Under its very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, this electric tankless unit uses 622 kWh a year. That is 7 kWh above the class median of 615 kWh across 271 models. This site computes the figure; the registry does not publish it.


Energy use per year

622 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 615 kWh for the 271 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 152 of 271, lowest energy first.

This model: 622 kWh

Solid line: this model (622 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The 622 kWh figure is electricity use per year at the federal test's daily hot-water draw for the very small draw pattern. This site computes it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.95 for this model, and from the DOE test's daily draw. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 271 electric tankless models registered at this draw pattern, the KWICKSHOT TEF030V277 has the 152nd lowest energy use, which puts it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. The class median is 615 kWh, and this model is 7 kWh above it. How the annual cost is calculated explains the steps.

The registry lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 0.3 for this unit. The very small draw pattern covers small units: a single bathroom, or a point-of-use heater under a sink. The 622 kWh figure belongs to that use. It suits a reader checking a listed unit of that kind against its class, where the 7 kWh gap to the 615 kWh median is the comparison. It does not describe use at any other draw pattern, and no annual energy for another draw pattern is available for this model. To compare across fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size, or find a same-class replacement by model number.

The running cost is not written here, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. Multiplying 622 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour gives a yearly figure at the test draw, and the cost calculator on your own ZIP does that step for you. The installed price range appears in its own block with its source and date, and this text does not restate it. The energy figure is computed at the federal test's draw, not measured in a home. Use at a different daily hot-water volume would differ from 622 kWh, and the registry data do not say by how much. The 7 kWh gap above the class median of 615 kWh is the only comparison this page makes.
