NAVIEN NWP500S065AUMB

4.03 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
B

Grade 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 checking the NAVIEN NWP500S065AUMB, it uses 1,231 kWh of electricity a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 75 kWh below the 1,306 kWh median of the 194 electric tank models registered at that draw pattern.


Energy use per year

1,231 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 25 of 194, lowest energy first.

This model: 1,231 kWh

Solid line: this model (1,231 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The 1,231 kWh figure is not a registry entry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 4.03 for this model, and from the daily hot-water draw in the DOE test for the high draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Ranked by energy use, the model is 25th lowest of 194, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The gap to the 1,306 kWh class median is 75 kWh. Real use in a home depends on how much hot water that household draws, and the registry does not record that. The calculation method sets out each step.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The comparison on this page applies to that description. This model has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 80 gallons, and a rated volume of 61 gallons. Compare the first hour rating with your own busiest hour, which the registry does not know. A household with much lower demand than the high draw pattern is not covered by the 1,231 kWh figure, and this page has no annual figure for this model at any other draw pattern. The water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size.

The running cost is not written in this text because it depends on your own electricity tariff. Multiply the 1,231 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour to get the yearly cost at the high draw pattern. The same rate applied to the 75 kWh difference from the 1,306 kWh class median gives the yearly gap against a typical model in this class. The cost calculator does this from your ZIP. The installed-price range sits in its own block with its source and date, and it is a modeled range, not a quote. To compare against another unit of the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number.
