RELIANCE WATER HEATERS E62-38T-045DV 1**
0.9 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19No A–G grade: Fewer than 8 models share this heater type, fuel and draw pattern, too few for a fair A-G scale.
A short tank built to sit under a counter, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).
Checking RELIANCE WATER HEATERS E62-38T-045DV 1**? At the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, it uses 3,609 kWh of electricity a year. This site computed that figure from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. Comparison with a class median is not available, because too few models share this class and draw pattern.
Energy use per year
3,609 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.
Not published: Class comparison
Too few models share this heater type and draw pattern for a fair class median, so no comparison is shown.
The yearly energy figure above stands on its own and does not depend on the class.

What it costs to install
Not published: Installed cost range
This model's UEF 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.

RELIANCE WATER HEATERS E62-38T-045DV 1** is a short tank built to sit under a counter, with a rated volume of 35 gallons. The registry lists its UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, as 0.9. The registry does not publish annual energy for it. This site computed 3,609 kWh of electricity from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The figure therefore applies only to that test condition, not to any particular home. A household that draws more or less hot water than the test will use a different amount. The steps behind the calculation are set out in the methodology for annual water heater cost.
The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 55 gallons for this model. That is the number to hold against your own busiest hour. The unit suits a location that needs a short tank under a counter and a household whose demand matches the medium draw pattern behind the 3,609 kWh figure. It does not suit a household whose busiest hour draws more than 55 gallons, because the rating is the first-hour supply from a full 35-gallon tank. Nor does it suit a reader who needs a figure for another draw pattern, since this page gives none. If you are still sizing, the water heater selector by fuel, space and size filters by those limits.
The running cost is not stated here, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies your local rate to the 3,609 kWh figure. Two other values are unavailable. No class median is shown, because too few models share this class and draw pattern, so this page does not say whether 3,609 kWh is high or low for its class. No installed price range is published either, because this model's ratings, a UEF of 0.9 and a rated volume of 35 gallons, lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on. That range is not stretched past its limits. To find a same-class unit, you can look up a replacement by model number.
