KWICKSHOT TEF048V240
0.96 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade E: 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).
If you are checking this unit against the registry: KWICKSHOT TEF048V240 uses 615 kWh of electricity a year at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That equals the class median of 615 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh, and ranks 77th lowest of 271 models.
Energy use per year
615 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 615 kWh for the 271 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 77 of 271, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (615 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.96 for KWICKSHOT TEF048V240. The figure of 615 kWh is not in the registry. This site computed it from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the very small draw pattern. The data come from DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. It is a figure for electricity under that test condition only. The registry also lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 0.5. How that flow rate relates to a particular fixture is not available in this data. The method is set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
Among the 271 models registered as an electric tankless unit at the very small draw pattern, this one ranks 77th lowest for energy use. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its 615 kWh equals the class median of 615 kWh, so the difference is 0 kWh. The figure suits a check on small units, such as a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink, where the very small draw pattern applies. It does not describe a household with larger daily hot-water use, and this page has no value for that case. To compare other fuels, spaces and sizes, use the water heater selector.
The running cost is not written here because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The energy figure of 615 kWh stays the same, but two homes with this unit can pay different amounts. The cost calculator takes your ZIP and applies the tariff to that figure. The installed price range appears in its own block, with its source and date, as a modeled range and not a quote, so it is not repeated here. If you need a unit in the same class, you can find a same-class replacement by model number and compare it against the same 271 models.
