GE Profile Heat Pump 50-Gallon (PH50S10BPY01) is a heat pump (hybrid electric) water heater from GE Profile with a 50 gallon rated tank and a 77 gallon first-hour rating at a 4.3 UEF — 1154 kWh/yr certified use, 48.1 in tall.
Our take
GE's second flagship trim in this size posts a 4.30 UEF — 96th percentile — and the highest first-hour rating of the 50-gallon integrated field: 77 gallons, certified High-draw for 5+ people. Annual use of 1,154 kWh (about $196) reflects that heavier test, not inefficiency; among High-draw classmates only its BNY sibling uses less. R-1234yf refrigerant, app connectivity, 472% recovery, 48.1-inch height, 240 V at 23 A on a 30 A breaker. Sold under the GE Profile badge alone. Between the two GE trims, this one buys 2 extra first-hour gallons at a slight UEF cost.
Best for: Peak-morning households wanting maximum integrated first-hour delivery.
Trade-off: Gives up 0.2 UEF to its own sibling for those extra gallons.
