GE Profile Heat Pump 50-Gallon (PH50S10BNY01) is a heat pump (hybrid electric) water heater from GE Profile with a 50 gallon rated tank and a 75 gallon first-hour rating at a 4.5 UEF — 1102 kWh/yr certified use, 48.1 in tall.
MSRP: $2,199
Our take
The highest UEF of any water heater in this database: 4.50, certified under the demanding High draw pattern with a 75-gallon first-hour rating for 5+ people. Its $187-a-year figure needs context — High-draw testing delivers much more hot water than the Medium-draw tests behind the class's $165 median, so this is not an expensive unit to run; per gallon heated it is the cheapest in the class. Add 491% recovery efficiency, R-1234yf ultra-low-GWP refrigerant, connectivity, and a standard 48.1-inch body on a 240 V / 23 A circuit. GE Profile badge only.
Best for: Large-household efficiency — nothing certified converts watts to hot water better.
Trade-off: Single-badge exclusivity; the certified data shows no cheaper twin.
