BRADFORD WHITE RE250L*-******

The 3,456 kWh figure is computed by this site, not the registry. It uses the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw. This model's UEF is 0.94. The figure applies only to the medium draw pattern, which describes a typical household on a busy morning. A household that draws more or less hot water than the test will use a different amount. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Only electricity is counted, so fuel use elsewhere in the home is outside the figure.

Among the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern, this one ranks 137th lowest for energy use. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its 3,456 kWh sits 75 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh. Rank reflects energy use alone; it says nothing about price, size or hot-water capacity. The registry data used here gives no spread for the class, so how far the median sits from the extremes is unknown. A same-class unit can be found with the replacement lookup by model number. The calculation method for annual cost is documented separately.

This model's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 61 gallons. Its rated volume is 43 gallons. These figures suit a household whose busy-morning use matches the medium draw pattern. The data does not show how the unit performs for households with larger or smaller draws. Running cost is not stated in this text, because it depends on your own electricity rate. Multiply the 3,456 kWh by your rate, or use the cost calculator for your own ZIP. Installed price appears in its own block with its source and date.
