STATE UPVA-70E 1**
0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 271 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tankless unit, very small draw pattern (small units - a single bathroom, or a point-of-use heater under a sink).
Checking this unit's registry figures? The STATE UPVA-70E 1** uses 642 kWh of electricity a year at the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 27 kWh above the 615 kWh median for electric tankless units at this pattern. It ranks 249th lowest of 271.
Energy use per year
642 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 above the median of 615 kWh for the 271 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 249 of 271, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (642 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 642 kWh a year does not come from the registry. This site calculated it. 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 very small draw pattern. For this model the UEF is 0.92, from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. The very small pattern covers small units: a single bathroom, or a point-of-use heater under a sink. If your household uses a different amount of hot water than the test assumes, your yearly use will not be 642 kWh. This data does not show how far off it would be. The steps are set out in how this site calculates annual energy and cost.
The registry lists 271 models as electric tankless units at the very small draw pattern. Their median is 615 kWh a year at the test's daily draw. This model uses 27 kWh more than that median and ranks 249th lowest in energy use. That puts it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. Its maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.7, as rated in the registry. The figures fit the use the very small pattern describes: a single bathroom or one sink. The data does not show how the unit performs at larger daily draws, so those figures are not available here. To find other models in this class, use the same-class replacement finder by model number.
This text gives no running cost for the UPVA-70E 1**. What 642 kWh of electricity costs you each year depends on your own utility tariff, and tariffs differ by provider and plan. For that reason the page works the cost out from your ZIP instead of printing one figure. To see the cost at your rate, use the water heater cost calculator for your ZIP. The extra 27 kWh a year over the class median also depends on your tariff. The installed-cost range on this page has its own block, source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote.
