LG APHWC802D
4.1 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade B: where this UEF sits among the 194 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
If you are verifying the LG APHWC802D, it uses 1,210 kWh of electricity a year. That figure is for the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 96 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh for electric tanks.
Energy use per year
1,210 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 below the median of 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 11 of 194, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (1,210 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What it costs to install
Not published: Installed cost range
This model's UEF lies outside the range NLR REMDB's cost model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.
The annual energy figure on this page does not depend on this range and is unaffected.
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.

UEF 4.1 · Grade B Price it on your ZIP
This site computed the annual figure; the registry does not publish it. It started from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 4.1 for this model. That UEF was combined with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The DOE CCD entry was retrieved on 2026-09-19. The result is 1,210 kWh a year of electricity, a test-condition figure rather than a measurement of any one home. The class has 194 electric tank models registered at the high draw pattern, with a median of 1,306 kWh. This model ranks 11th lowest in energy use of 194, which is in the lowest quarter of its class. The method behind the annual cost is documented separately.
The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This model lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 91 gallons. Its rated volume is 72 gallons. The 1,210 kWh figure applies only at that draw pattern. A household with lighter or heavier hot-water use than the federal test's daily draw may see different energy use. This page has no data to estimate that difference. To compare units by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector. The registry data shown here does not measure how much hot water a particular household needs at its busiest hour.
The running cost is not stated here because it depends on your own electricity rate. The 1,210 kWh figure is the quantity to multiply by that rate. The cost calculator applies the rate for your ZIP to the annual energy use. The same rate applies to the 96 kWh gap between this model and the class median of 1,306 kWh. An installed price range is not published for this model. Its first hour rating of 91 gallons and rated volume of 72 gallons lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on. The range is not stretched past that limit. To compare against others, you can find a same-class replacement by model number.
