UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.
It holds 78 gallons in the test, 2 gallons less than its 80-gallon sold size. Starting full, it gives 85 gallons of hot water in its first hour of use. Reheating lets it give 7 gallons beyond the 78 gallons in its tank. In the first hour, 9 of the 21 grid-enabled models give more hot water. The median grid-enabled model gives the same amount in its first hour.
In tests, 92% of the energy went to hot water, so its UEF is 0.92. Its test simulated a day of high hot water use (its draw pattern). Of 21 grid-enabled models with the same draw pattern, 2 have a higher UEF and 9 a lower one. Its UEF is the median for its type and draw pattern. When it reheats water in the test, 98% of the energy it uses ends up in the water.
Its test figures match those of 2 other basic models. The Hubbell and VAUGHN THERMAL brands list one or more of them. For the full group, see the Hubbell ME80 page.
