Reclaim Energy MP120F-RC

3.75 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
C

Grade 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 checking a heater for a larger household, the Reclaim Energy MP120F-RC uses 1,323 kWh of electricity a year. This is at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 17 kWh above the 1,306 kWh class median.

Energy use per year

1,323 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 99 of 194, lowest energy first.

What it costs to install

Not published: Installed cost range

This model's rated tank size 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.

What these figures mean

The figure of 1,323 kWh is computed by this site, not the registry. It starts from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used. It then applies the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The registry lists a UEF of 3.75 for Reclaim Energy MP120F-RC. The data source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only at the federal test's daily draw. A household that uses more or less hot water than that draw will see a different annual total. This page cannot estimate that total.

Among the 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern, this model has the 99th lowest energy use. That places it in the second-highest quarter of its class, 17 kWh above the 1,306 kWh median. The registry gives a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank. For this model it is 121 gallons, with a rated volume of 119 gallons. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. Those are the households this comparison covers. A household with a smaller daily draw is outside it, and this page holds no figure for that case. If low energy use is your priority, the water heater selector compares units by fuel, space and size.

Running cost is not stated in the text because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The cost calculator applies the rate for your ZIP to the 1,323 kWh figure. The methodology for the annual cost shows how that calculation works. What a given household pays cannot be read from the registry data alone, so it is unknown here. No installed price range is published for Reclaim Energy MP120F-RC. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on. The range is not stretched past it. To look for a unit in the same class, use the replacement finder by model number.
