0.95 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).

If you are checking this unit's energy figure, LAARS LCTEV006******** uses 622 kWh a year at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 7 kWh above the class median of 615 kWh, ranking 152nd lowest energy use of 271 electric tankless models.


Energy use per year

622 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 152 of 271, lowest energy first.

This model: 622 kWh

What these figures mean

The registry lists this unit with a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.95. This site combined that value with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the very small draw pattern to get 622 kWh of electricity per year. The registry does not publish that annual figure itself. The underlying DOE CCD data was retrieved on 2026-09-19. The figure applies only at that test draw. A household that uses more or less hot water than the test assumes will use different energy, and this page has no estimate for those cases.

The maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.6. Together with the very small draw pattern, this places the unit among small units: a single bathroom, or a point-of-use heater under a sink. It suits a reader verifying a unit for that kind of load. It does not suit a comparison with models tested at larger draw patterns, because all 271 models in this class share the very small pattern. Within that class the unit uses 7 kWh more than the median of 615 kWh and ranks 152nd lowest energy use of 271, in the quarter just below the highest-use quarter. For other sizes or fuels, the water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size.

The running cost is not stated here because it depends on the electricity tariff the reader pays, and this page assumes none. At 622 kWh per year, the cost follows directly from the rate on the reader's own bill. The cost calculator applies the rate for the reader's ZIP, and the methodology page explains how the annual cost is calculated. The modeled installed-cost range sits in its own block on this page with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote, and its figures are not repeated in this text. To find a unit in the same class, search for a replacement by model number.
