Stiebel Eltron PSH 30
0.94 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: 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).
If you are checking the Stiebel Eltron PSH 30, an electric tank heater, this is its annual energy use. It uses 2,387 kWh a year at the low draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, for a one- or two-person household. That is 52 kWh below the class median of 2,439 kWh among 163 models.
Energy use per year
2,387 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 8 of 163, lowest energy first.

What it costs to install
Not published: Installed cost range
This model's rated tank size 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.

The figure of 2,387 kWh is calculated by this site, not by the registry. The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.94. This site combined that value with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the low draw pattern. The fuel is electricity, and the value applies only at that test draw. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The method is described in how the annual cost is calculated. A household that draws more or less hot water than the test will use a different amount, and this page does not estimate that difference for the Stiebel Eltron PSH 30.
Among the 163 models registered as an electric tank at the low draw pattern, the Stiebel Eltron PSH 30 ranks 8th lowest in energy use, which is in the lowest quarter of its class. Its 2,387 kWh is 52 kWh below the class median of 2,439 kWh. The spread of the whole class is not part of this page's data. The model has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 29 gallons and a rated volume of 21 gallons. The energy figure applies to the one- or two-person household the low draw pattern represents. It does not describe heavier hot-water use, and this page does not assess whether the first hour rating meets a given household's peak demand. The water heater selector by fuel, space and size covers that comparison.
Running cost is not stated in the text, because it depends on the electricity tariff you pay. The 2,387 kWh at the low draw pattern is the quantity to multiply by your own rate, and the cost calculator on your own ZIP does this for you. No installed price range is published for the Stiebel Eltron PSH 30. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it. To look at other units of the same class, you can find a same-class replacement by model number. Keep the low draw pattern the same in any comparison, since energy figures at other draw patterns are not comparable with 2,387 kWh.
