VAUGHN ME120

The annual figure of 5,452 kWh is electricity use at the high draw pattern only. This site computed it, not the registry. The inputs are the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.91 for this model, and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for that pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The class is the 21 models registered as an electric tank your utility can shift to off-peak hours. Within it, the ME120 sits 60 kWh above the class median of 5,392 kWh. Its rank of 13th lowest puts it in the higher-energy portion of that class. The method behind the annual calculation is documented separately.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap, so the 5,452 kWh figure applies to that kind of use. The model lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 100 gallons. Its rated volume is 107 gallons. A household whose use matches a different draw pattern should not read this figure as its own, because no value for other patterns is available on this page. To compare within the class, the rank of 13th lowest of 21 is the reference. The same-class replacement search by model number lists other registered models, and the selector by fuel, space and size covers other fuels.

Running cost is not stated in the text, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The 5,452 kWh figure is the quantity that tariff is applied to, so the same ME120 costs different amounts to run in different service areas. The cost calculator for your own ZIP applies your local rate to this figure. Off-peak shifting is a utility arrangement, and this page has no data on whether your utility offers it or how it is priced. The installed price range is not published for this model. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it. No installed price is estimated here.
