STATE UPVA-90E 1**
0.93 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade F: 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).
If you are verifying the STATE UPVA-90E 1**, it uses 635 kWh of electricity a year. That figure belongs to the very small draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 20 kWh above the 615 kWh median of the 271 electric tankless units in that pattern, ranking 218th lowest for energy use.
Energy use per year
635 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 218 of 271, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (635 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The 635 kWh figure 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 very small pattern. For this model the UEF is 0.93. The registry values were retrieved from DOE CCD on 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at the federal test's daily draw. A household that draws more or less hot water will use a different amount, and the registry does not say how much. The steps are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
The very small draw pattern covers small units: a single bathroom, or a point-of-use heater under a sink. This model's maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 0.8. That rating and the draw pattern describe the use the federal test assumed. A larger household role falls outside what these figures cover. Within its class, the unit ranks 218th lowest of 271 for energy use. That places it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. A plumber or seller checking alternatives at the same pattern can find a same-class replacement by model number and compare against the 615 kWh median.
Running cost is not stated here because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The page computes it from your ZIP instead. The 20 kWh gap above the class median is the part of that cost that separates this unit from the median of its class. What that gap comes to in money depends on the same rate, and the text does not give it. The installed-price block on this page is a modeled installed-cost range with its own source and date, not a quote. To see the running cost for another address, use the cost calculator on your own ZIP.
