STATE PESX-50 1**
0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 426 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).
If you are checking the STATE PESX-50 1**, an electric tank, it uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year. That figure belongs to the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 0 kWh from its class median of 3,531 kWh, so its energy use is equal to the median.
Energy use per year
3,531 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 3,531 kWh for the 426 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 213 of 426, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (3,531 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

This site computes the 3,531 kWh figure; the registry does not state it. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the daily hot-water draw in DOE's test for the medium draw pattern. For this model the UEF is 0.92, from the DOE CCD retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern, it ranks 213th lowest for energy use. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. The figure holds only at the test's daily draw. A household that uses more or less hot water will use a different amount of electricity, and that amount is not available here. The steps are set out in how this site calculates annual energy and cost.
DOE tested the STATE PESX-50 1** at the medium draw pattern, which represents a typical household's daily hot-water use. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 70 gallons. Its rated volume is 46 gallons. A home whose busiest hour needs no more than 70 gallons stays within what the unit is rated to deliver. A home that regularly needs more in its busiest hour exceeds that rating. The registry gives no energy figure for this model at any other draw pattern, so its use in those homes is unknown. The water heater selector by fuel, space and size lists other units. The same-class replacement search by model number finds units registered in this class.
The text on this page gives no running cost, because the cost depends on your own utility's electricity tariff. The cost is the 3,531 kWh of electricity multiplied by your rate. The cost calculator on your own ZIP does that step with your local tariff. The model sits 0 kWh from the class median of 3,531 kWh. At the same rate and the same draw pattern, a model at the class median would have the same annual cost. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. That block shows a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote.
