STATE EELBU-50 1**

The 3,531 kWh a year is computed by this site, not taken from 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 for the medium draw pattern. For the EELBU-50 1**, the UEF is 0.92. The registry data come from the DOE Compliance Certification Database (CCD), retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at that test draw. A household that draws more hot water each day will use more electricity than 3,531 kWh, and one that draws less will use less. The steps behind the figure are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.

Within its class, the EELBU-50 1** ranks 213th lowest in energy use of the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern. Models ranked ahead of it use less electricity at the same test draw. The medium pattern stands for a typical household with a busy morning of hot-water use. This unit's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 55 gallons, from a rated volume of 44 gallons. It fits a home whose busiest hour of demand stays within 55 gallons. It does not fit a home that regularly needs more than that in its busiest hour.

This text gives no running cost for this model. The cost of 3,531 kWh of electricity a year depends on your own utility tariff, which the registry does not record. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies your local rate to this model's figure at the medium draw pattern. Because this model's energy use equals the class median, it would show the same result as a median model on the same rate. Models ranked ahead of 213th would show a lower result. The installed price range on this page sits in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote, and it does not change the energy rank of 213th of 426.
