KWICKSHOT TEF035V120

0.94 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 TEF035V120, an electric tankless unit? It uses 628 kWh a year at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 13 kWh above the class median of 615 kWh, ranking 188th lowest of 271 models.


Energy use per year

628 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 188 of 271, lowest energy first.

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 figure of 628 kWh is 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, which is 0.94. It then applies the daily hot-water draw that the DOE test assigns to the very small draw pattern. The figure is in kilowatt-hours of electricity, the only fuel this model uses. The source data is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only at that test draw. A home with a different daily draw would use a different amount, and that amount is not available here. The calculation steps are described on the methodology page.

Among the 271 models registered as an electric tankless unit at the very small draw pattern, this one ranks 188th lowest for energy use. That places it in the second-highest quarter of its class. It sits 13 kWh above the class median of 615 kWh, at the test draw. The listed maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.3. The draw pattern covers small units, meaning a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink. A household that needs hot water beyond that pattern is outside what this figure describes. Whether 0.3 meets the flow of a particular fixture is not in the data.

The running cost is not written as an amount on this page. It depends on your own utility electricity tariff, and the cost calculator applies the tariff for your ZIP to 628 kWh. The result holds only at the test's daily draw for the very small draw pattern. Every model in the class of 271 is compared at that same draw. The modeled installed-cost range is shown in its own block with its source and date, as a range rather than a quote. To check a same-class alternative to TEF035V120, the replacement finder searches by model number.
