BRADFORD WHITE RE240LN*-*****
0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 163 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank, low draw pattern (a one- or two-person household).
Checking this unit? The BRADFORD WHITE RE240LN*-***** uses 2,439 kWh of electricity a year at the low draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That equals the class median of 2,439 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh, among 163 electric tank models.
Energy use per year
2,439 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 equal to the median of 2,439 kWh for the 163 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 19 of 163, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (2,439 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 2,439 kWh was computed by this site, not by the registry. It uses the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.92 for this model. It also uses the daily hot-water draw of the DOE test for the low draw pattern. That draw pattern stands for a one- or two-person household. The fuel is electricity, and the source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure does not describe a household with a larger draw. The calculation method is documented on the methodology page.
The comparison group is the 163 models registered as an electric tank at the low draw pattern. Within that group, this unit ranks 19th lowest in energy use, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. Its 2,439 kWh equals the class median of 2,439 kWh, so the difference is 0 kWh. The unit suits a one- or two-person household, because the figures apply to the low draw pattern. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 45 gallons. The rated volume is 34 gallons. This page gives no figure for other draw patterns. A selector by fuel, space and size covers other cases.
The running cost is not written in the text, because it depends on the electricity tariff you pay. The cost calculator applies the rate for your ZIP to 2,439 kWh a year at the low draw pattern. The installed-price range appears in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote. To look for a same-class unit, use the replacement search by model number with RE240LN*-*****. The energy figure reflects the registry data as retrieved on 2026-09-19. Any value not shown here is not available, and it has not been estimated.
