Midea D30-45FH
0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 163 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank, low draw pattern (a one- or two-person household).
If you are checking the Midea D30-45FH, this electric tank uses 2,439 kWh of electricity a year. That figure holds for the low draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, at the federal test's daily draw. It equals the class median of 2,439 kWh across 163 models.
Energy use per year
2,439 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 2,439 kWh for the 163 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 19 of 163, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (2,439 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The 2,439 kWh figure is calculated by this site, not by the registry. It starts from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.92 for this model. The site applies that to the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the low draw pattern. The registry source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The comparison class is the 163 models registered as an electric tank at the low draw pattern. Against that class, this model's difference from the median is 0 kWh. It ranks 19th lowest in energy use of 163, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. A figure for daily use above or below the test's draw is not available for this model.
The low draw pattern stands for a one- or two-person household, and the 2,439 kWh figure applies to that level of use. This tank's rated volume is 28 gallons. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 47 gallons. A household that draws more hot water each day than the test assumes is outside the condition behind 2,439 kWh. For that household the figure does not apply as stated, and no higher-draw figure is available for this model. To compare other units by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector. To check units in this same class by model number, use the same-class replacement search.
Running cost is not stated in this text because it depends on your own utility's electricity tariff. The page calculates it from your ZIP by applying your rate to the 2,439 kWh figure at the test's draw. This model sits 0 kWh from its class median, so that energy input equals the class median figure. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page as a modeled range with its source and date. It is not a quote. For a running cost on your own rate, use the cost calculator for your ZIP. The steps behind that figure are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
