Stiebel Eltron Accelera 220 E
2.81 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade A: where this UEF sits among the 163 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank, low draw pattern (a one- or two-person household).
You are checking the Stiebel Eltron Accelera 220 E. It uses 799 kWh of electricity a year at the low draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 1,640 kWh below the class median of 2,439 kWh, and it ranks 2nd lowest of 163 models.
Energy use per year
799 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 below the median of 2,439 kWh for the 163 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 2 of 163, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (799 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What it costs to install
Not published: Installed cost range
This model's UEF lies outside the range NLR REMDB's cost model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.
The annual energy figure on this page does not depend on this range and is unaffected.
Safety record
No CPSC recall names this model.
Checked against the CPSC recall database. CPSC does not publish a model-level match for this product category, so this list is curated by hand from the manufacturer's recall filings.

UEF 2.81 · Grade A Price it on your ZIP
The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 2.81 for this model. This site computed the figure of 799 kWh from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the low draw pattern. The registry does not publish the annual figure itself. It applies only to electricity and only at that test draw. The low draw pattern describes a one- or two-person household. Real use in a home can differ from the test draw, and this page has no data on that difference. The figure was retrieved from DOE CCD on 2026-09-19. The method used to calculate annual cost is documented separately.
Among the 163 models registered as an electric tank at the low draw pattern, the median use is 2,439 kWh. This model sits 1,640 kWh below that median, at 2nd lowest of 163. That places it in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The comparison covers only electric tanks at the low draw pattern. It says nothing about models of other fuels or draw patterns. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 41 gallons. Rated volume is 58 gallons. These are the capacity figures the registry lists for the Accelera 220 E. A selector by fuel, space and size can filter models on such figures.
The figure of 799 kWh belongs to the low draw pattern. It suits a household whose hot-water use matches that pattern. It does not apply to a household with a larger daily draw, and the data here does not show how much the figure would change. Running cost is not stated on this page. It depends on your own electricity rate, and no rate is assumed. Multiply the annual energy by your local price per kilowatt-hour, or use the cost calculator on your own ZIP. The installed price range is not published. This model's ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and that range is not stretched past it.
