VAUGHN MP55F

0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 426 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).

If you are checking the VAUGHN MP55F, this electric tank uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That figure is equal to the class median of 3,531 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh. It ranks 213th lowest of 426 comparable models.


Energy use per year

3,531 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 equal to the median of 3,531 kWh for the 426 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 213 of 426, lowest energy first.

This model: 3,531 kWh

Solid line: this model (3,531 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

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 3,531 kWh figure is not printed in the registry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.92 for this model. The second input is the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium pattern. That pattern stands for a typical household with a busy morning. The figure holds only at that test draw. A home that draws more or less hot water each day will use a different amount, and this page does not have that amount. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Our page on how the annual energy and cost figures are calculated sets out each step.

The MP55F is compared with the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern. It ranks 213th lowest in energy use among them. Its difference from the class median of 3,531 kWh is 0 kWh, so it sits exactly at the middle of its class. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 58 gallons. Its rated volume is 54 gallons. These ratings match a household whose daily use is close to the medium pattern. They say nothing about a home that routinely needs more than 58 gallons in its busiest hour. To check other models in the same class, use the same-class replacement search by model number.

This page does not give a yearly running cost in the text. The cost of 3,531 kWh of electricity depends on your own utility tariff, and tariffs differ by utility and by rate plan. The page therefore works out the cost from your ZIP and does not estimate it. Enter your ZIP in the running cost calculator for your own ZIP to see that cost at the medium draw pattern. The installed price range is shown in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. This page cannot tell how much hot water your home actually uses, so a cost at any other daily draw is unknown here.
