VAUGHN THERMAL MP80FHPT
3.5 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade 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 the VAUGHN THERMAL MP80FHPT, this electric tank uses 1,417 kWh of electricity a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 111 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh, ranking 119th lowest energy use of 194 models.
Energy use per year
1,417 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 119 of 194, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (1,417 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

UEF 3.5 · Grade C Price it on your ZIP
The 1,417 kWh figure comes from this site's calculation, not from the registry itself. It uses the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 3.5 for this model. The calculation pairs that UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. That pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The figure therefore holds only at the federal test's draw. A home that uses more or less hot water will see a different yearly total, and that total is not available here. The UEF value comes from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The page on how the annual cost is calculated explains how the energy figure turns into a yearly cost.
The class here is the 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern. The 111 kWh gap noted above puts this model above the median, but outside the quarter of the class with the highest energy use. The model lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 86 gallons. Its rated volume is 80 gallons. The registry tests it at the high draw pattern, so its figures describe homes near that level of demand. For a household with lighter hot-water use, the 1,417 kWh figure does not describe expected use. Comparisons against other models hold only inside the same class, and you can find a same-class replacement by model number.
This page gives no running cost in the text. The yearly cost of 1,417 kWh of electricity depends on your own utility electricity tariff. That tariff is not part of the registry data. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies your local rate to this model's figure. On a flat per-kWh rate, the 111 kWh gap above the class median adds to cost in direct proportion to that rate. Tiered or time-of-use tariffs make that link less direct. If your home's actual draw differs from the high draw pattern, your cost will also differ from the calculated one. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote.
