E

Grade 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 the KWICKSHOT TEF060V277, it uses 615 kWh of electricity a year at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 0 kWh from the class median of 615 kWh, so it sits at the median of 271 comparable 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.

This model: 615 kWh

What these figures mean

The KWICKSHOT TEF060V277 is an electric tankless unit with a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.96. Its annual figure of 615 kWh was computed by this site, not by the registry. The calculation uses the registry's UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the very small draw pattern. It applies only at that draw and does not measure any particular home. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The registry also lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 0.6 for this model. The steps are 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 puts it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its difference from the class median of 615 kWh is 0 kWh, so its 615 kWh equals the median. This draw pattern describes small units, such as a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink. A household with a larger draw falls outside the condition of this figure, and the registry data here does not show how the unit performs there. To compare another unit, use the selector by fuel, space and size or find a same-class replacement by model number.

The running cost of 615 kWh depends on your own utility electricity tariff. That rate is not part of the registry data, so no cost is written in this text and none is estimated. The figure holds only at the very small draw pattern, so a different daily use changes the result. To see the cost for your own rate, use the cost calculator on your ZIP. The installed price range on this page is a modeled range from its own source, not a quote, and it is shown in a separate block. The energy comparison above uses the class median of 615 kWh and does not include installation.
