Reclaim Energy MP80F-RC

3.8 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).

Checking the Reclaim Energy MP80F-RC, an electric tank? It uses 1,306 kWh a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 0 kWh from the class median of 1,306 kWh across the 194 electric tank models registered at this draw pattern.


Energy use per year

1,306 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 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 89 of 194, lowest energy first.

This model: 1,306 kWh

What these figures mean

The figure of 1,306 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 3.8 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 class median is 1,306 kWh, so the difference from the median is 0 kWh. The unit ranks 89th lowest in energy use of 194 models, which places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. The method is set out in how the annual cost is calculated.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This model lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 98 gallons, and a rated volume of 80 gallons. Those two values state how much hot water the tank holds and can supply in the first hour. The 1,306 kWh figure does not describe a household with lighter daily use, because the DOE test sets one daily draw for each pattern. This page gives no annual energy for other draw patterns. To narrow models by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.

Running cost is not stated in the text, because it depends on the utility electricity tariff at the reader's address. Multiplying 1,306 kWh by your own rate gives the yearly cost at the federal test's draw; a home's actual hot-water use is not part of that figure. The cost calculator applies the tariff for your ZIP. The installed price range appears in its own block with its source and date, as a modeled range and not a quote. If you need a same-class replacement for the MP80F-RC, you can find one by model number.
