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).

You are checking the energy figure for the KWICKSHOT TEF090V277. It 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.


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.

What these figures mean

The annual figure of 615 kWh was computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw. The listed UEF for this model is 0.96. The figure applies to electricity only and to the very small draw pattern only. It is not a measured value for this individual unit. The condition is the federal test's daily hot-water draw, not a household's actual use. Its source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The methodology page shows how the annual cost is calculated from such a figure.

Among the 271 electric tankless models registered at the very small draw pattern, its rank is 77th lowest energy use of 271. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use. Its 615 kWh equals the class median of 615 kWh, so the difference is 0 kWh. The listed maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.9. Small units such as a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink match the very small draw pattern. A household running several fixtures at once is outside that draw pattern, and this page has no figure for it. The rank compares energy use only and says nothing about flow performance.

Running cost is not written here because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The cost calculator takes your ZIP and applies that tariff to 615 kWh. Any result holds only for the very small draw pattern. A different draw pattern would change the energy use, and this page has no value for it. To find another unit in the same class, use the replacement search by model number with TEF090V277. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote.
