KWICKSHOT TEF083V208

0.96 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
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 TEF083V208, 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 across 271 models. This site computed the figure.


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

Solid line: this model (615 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

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.

What these figures mean

The 615 kWh figure is not a registry value. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the daily hot-water draw that the DOE test assigns to this draw pattern. This model's UEF is 0.96. The fuel is electricity, and the figure applies only to the very small draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Because the figure rests on the test's daily draw, use in a home with different hot-water habits can differ, and this page has no measured value for those cases.

The comparison group is the 271 models registered as an electric tankless unit at the very small draw pattern. This model ranks 77th lowest energy use of 271, which places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its 615 kWh is 0 kWh from the class median of 615 kWh, so it is equal to the median. The data here do not say how many models share this exact value. The rank and the median describe this class and this draw pattern only, and they say nothing about other draw patterns.

The very small draw pattern covers small units, meaning a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink. The registry lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 0.8 for this model. A household with more fixtures running at once should not read 615 kWh as its own use, because the figure belongs to the very small draw pattern only. The running cost is not written here, since it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. Enter your ZIP in the cost calculator to see it, and read how the annual cost is calculated for the method. To compare against another unit, find a same-class replacement by model number.
