BRADFORD WHITE RE250T*-*****
0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 426 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).
If you are checking the BRADFORD WHITE RE250T*-*****, an electric tank, this site computes its energy use at 3,531 kWh of electricity a year. That figure is for the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It is equal to its class median of 3,531 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh.
Energy use per year
3,531 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 3,531 kWh for the 426 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 213 of 426, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (3,531 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The DOE Compliance Certification Database (CCD) does not print the 3,531 kWh figure. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used. It also used the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium pattern. The registry lists this model's UEF as 0.92 and its rated volume as 45 gallons. The source data was retrieved on 2026-09-19. This model is compared with the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern. It ranks 213th lowest in energy use of 426. Its figure equals the class median, so the rank puts it in the middle of the class, not above or below it.
The medium draw pattern represents a typical household's hot-water use, including a busy morning. This model's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 64 gallons. The 3,531 kWh figure applies to homes whose daily use matches the medium draw pattern. A home that draws more or less hot water each day will use a different amount. The registry does not give that amount, and this page does not estimate it. If you are checking a like-for-like swap, you can find a same-class replacement by model number. To compare fuels or tank sizes, use the selector by fuel, space and size.
This text gives no running cost for the 3,531 kWh of electricity. That cost depends on the tariff of the reader's own electricity utility, which this text does not know. The cost calculator for your own ZIP applies that tariff to this model's figure. The steps it follows are set out in how the annual cost is calculated. The installed-price range on this page appears in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. The registry does not record how much energy this model uses in any particular home.
