The annual figure of 5,392 kWh is computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw. The UEF is 0.92, and the draw is the one for the high draw pattern. The fuel is electricity, and the source data is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only at that test draw, so a household that draws a different amount of hot water will use a different amount of energy. The method behind the annual figures sets out the calculation.

The comparison covers the 21 models registered as an electric tank your utility can shift to off-peak hours at the high draw pattern. This model's 5,392 kWh equals the class median of 5,392 kWh, so the difference from the median is 0 kWh. Its rank is 3rd lowest energy use of 21, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The data on this page does not list the other models' individual figures, so the spread of the class around the median is not available here. A second opinion on this rank should use the same class and the same draw pattern.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This model has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 76 gallons and a rated volume of 84 gallons. The 5,392 kWh figure does not describe households with a different draw pattern, and no figure for those patterns is available on this page. Running cost is not stated in the text, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The cost calculator applies your ZIP to this figure. An installed price range is not published, because this model's ratings lie outside the range the cost database was fitted on. To look up a unit of the same class, use replacement by model number.
