Noritz ME80HPT
3.48 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade C: 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 Noritz ME80HPT: at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, it uses 1,426 kWh of electricity a year. That is 120 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh for electric tank models registered at the same draw pattern.
Energy use per year
1,426 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 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 128 of 194, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (1,426 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

UEF 3.48 · Grade C Price it on your ZIP
The figure of 1,426 kWh is not published by the registry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF and the daily hot-water draw in the DOE test for the high draw pattern. UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, is 3.48 for the ME80HPT. The energy source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 194 models registered as an electric tank at this draw pattern, this one has the 128th lowest energy use. That places it in the second-highest quarter of its class, and its use is 120 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh.
The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The Noritz ME80HPT is registered for that pattern, with a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 86 gallons and a rated volume of 74 gallons. Those two values describe hot-water supply, not energy use. For a reader whose priority is low energy use within the class, the position of 128th lowest of 194 and the 120 kWh gap above 1,306 kWh are the relevant facts. To compare other units by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector, or find a same-class replacement by model number.
The running cost is not stated here because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. Multiply 1,426 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour to check it by hand, or enter your ZIP in the cost calculator. The steps are set out in how the annual cost is calculated. The 1,426 kWh applies only at the federal test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. Actual use in a home with a different daily draw is not available in the registry data, and this page does not estimate it. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block, with its source and date.
