Water heaters, ranked by UEF
1,253 water heaters from 74 brands, collapsed from 1,260 published configurations. Each priced at the national average rate, so the ranking is what it costs to run rather than what it says on the box.
Computed from electricity at 18.34¢/kWh, the EIA average for US in June 2026. A kilowatt-hour is 3412 BTU. This is a rate times a rating, not a prediction of your bill.
