NAVIEN NWP500S080AUMB

4.05 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 verifying a listing, the NAVIEN NWP500S080AUMB uses 1,225 kWh of electricity a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 81 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh among 194 electric tanks.


Energy use per year

1,225 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 22 of 194, lowest energy first.

This model: 1,225 kWh

Solid line: this model (1,225 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The figure of 1,225 kWh is computed by this site, not published by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 4.05 with the daily hot-water draw that the DOE test assigns to the high draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure describes the test's standard daily draw for an electric tank and is not a measurement of any particular home. The comparison group is the 194 models registered as an electric tank at this draw pattern. Their median is 1,306 kWh, so this model sits 81 kWh below it. Its rank is 22nd lowest energy use of 194, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use.

The high draw pattern applies to a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 85 gallons for this model. The rated volume is 74 gallons. Those two values are the ones to compare with your own peak-hour demand. The energy figure suits a reader who needs to confirm that a listing matches this draw pattern. It does not describe a smaller household with lighter use, because 1,225 kWh is tied to the high draw. The data on this page does not include a figure for any other draw pattern, so that value is not available. To compare by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.

The running cost is not stated in this text because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The cost calculator applies the rate for your ZIP to the 1,225 kWh at the high draw pattern. The steps are described in how the annual cost is calculated. The 81 kWh gap to the class median of 1,306 kWh turns into a cost difference only at your own rate, and no cost is estimated here. The installed price range appears in its own block with its source and date, as a modeled installed-cost range and not a quote. To find a same-class replacement for NWP500S080AUMB, use replacement search by model number.
