BRADFORD WHITE RG230T*N

The 185 therms figure was computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw. The registry lists a UEF of 0.6, and the figure applies to the medium draw pattern with natural gas as the fuel. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19, and it is a test-condition value rather than a measurement of one home. A household that draws more or less hot water than the test will use a different amount. This page cannot say how much, so it gives no estimate. The method behind the annual figure is on the methodology page.

Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 60 gallons. The rated volume is 29 gallons. These ratings sit with the medium draw pattern, which describes a typical household on a busy morning. The figures are most relevant to a household whose morning use matches that pattern. They do not show whether this model meets the peak demand of any one home. Its energy use of 185 therms is equal to the class median, a difference of 0 therms. It ranks 89th lowest of 288 models, in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use. To compare a same-class unit, find a replacement by model number.

The running cost depends on the state average residential gas price, so no cost is written here. The cost calculator for your own ZIP applies that price to the 185 therms at the medium draw pattern. The installed price is not published for this model. Its ratings, 60 gallons first hour and 29 gallons rated volume, lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on. The range is not stretched past that limit. For a different fuel, space or size, use the water heater selector. The class comparison covers only the 288 models registered as a gas tank at the medium draw pattern.
