U.S. CRAFTMASTER FPTU-80 1**

3.45 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
C

Grade C: where this UEF sits among the 194 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).

If you are checking this listing, the U.S. CRAFTMASTER FPTU-80 1** uses 1,438 kWh of electricity a year. That figure belongs to the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. This is 132 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh among the 194 electric tank models at that pattern.


Energy use per year

1,438 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 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 135 of 194, lowest energy first.

This model: 1,438 kWh

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.

What these figures mean

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 3.45 for this model. This site combined that UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern to get 1,438 kWh. The registry does not publish this annual figure itself. The figure comes from DOE CCD, retrieved on 2026-09-19. Among the 194 electric tank models at the high draw pattern, this model ranks 135th lowest in energy use. That places it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use, 132 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh. This comparison holds at the federal test's draw, not at the draw of any particular home. The methodology page explains how the annual cost is calculated.

For this model, the first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 84 gallons. Its rated volume is 82 gallons. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. Those two ratings are the ones to compare with your own busiest hour. The 1,438 kWh figure does not describe a household whose daily draw differs much from the test's. Actual use depends on the household's own hot-water draw, which this page does not have. The installed price range is not published. This model's ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.

Running cost is not stated here, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. To check it by hand, multiply 1,438 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour. The cost calculator does this from your ZIP. The same rate applied to the 132 kWh gap shows how far this model sits from the class median of 1,306 kWh. If you need another unit in the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number. The water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size. The 1,438 kWh figure stays tied to the high draw pattern and to 2026-09-19, the date the data was retrieved.
