The figure of 615 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, listed as 0.96 for this model, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the very small draw pattern. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The value holds only under that test draw, so a household that draws more or less hot water will use a different amount. Against 271 comparable models, this unit ranks 77th lowest in energy use, in the second-lowest quarter of its class. The method is set out under how the annual cost is calculated.

Its difference from the class median is 0 kWh, so on energy use alone it sits at the typical level for the 271 models registered at this draw pattern, neither above nor below the median of 615 kWh. This draw pattern describes small units, meaning a single bathroom or a point-of-use heater under a sink. The registry lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 0.5 for this model. That fits the small loads the test represents. It says nothing about larger loads, because the data here contains no result for a whole-house draw. A reader with a different load can use the selector by fuel, space and size or find a same-class replacement by model number.

The running cost is not stated in this text because it depends on the electricity tariff at the reader's own address. The annual energy of 615 kWh is the quantity a rate is applied to, so the same unit costs different amounts in different places. The cost calculator that uses your own ZIP applies a local rate to that figure. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on the page, with its source and date, and its figures are not repeated here. That range is modeled, not a quote. The energy figure reflects the registry as retrieved on 2026-09-19; later registry changes are not reflected.
