VAUGHN THERMAL ME120

The figure of 5,452 kWh is not a registry value, because this site computed it. It used the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.91. It also used the daily hot-water draw DOE assigns to the high pattern, so the result is electricity use under test conditions. A household's real draw can differ from that test draw, which is why the figure is a standard-conditions value. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19, and the registry lists a rated volume of 107 gallons. Read how the annual cost is calculated for the full method.

The class is the 21 models registered as an electric tank your utility can shift to off-peak hours, compared at the high draw pattern. This model ranks 13th lowest for energy use of 21, so a lower rank number means less electricity used per year. Its annual figure of 5,452 kWh is 60 kWh above the class median of 5,392 kWh. That places it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. The data shows the size of this gap but not its cause, and the rank does not describe any other draw pattern.

This model has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 100. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The 5,452 kWh figure applies to that kind of household, and this page does not give energy use at other draw patterns. You can find a same-class replacement by model number to compare energy use within the class. Running cost depends on your own electricity rate, so no cost figure is written here. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies your utility tariff to 5,452 kWh. The installed price range is not published, because this model's ratings lie outside the range the cost database was fitted on. The range was not stretched past that limit.
