BRADFORD WHITE RG240T*N
0.64 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 414 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
If you are checking BRADFORD WHITE RG240T*N, it uses 264 therms of natural gas a year. That figure is for the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It is 4 therms above the class median of 260 therms and ranks 236th lowest of 414 models.
Energy use per year
264 therms 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 natural gas rate where you live.
That is above the median of 260 therms for the 414 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 236 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (264 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 264 therms is computed by this site, not by 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 for this pattern. The UEF for this model is 0.64. The figure holds only for natural gas at the high draw pattern. Source data comes from DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The result sits 4 therms above the class median of 260 therms. That places the model in the second-highest quarter of its 414 gas tank models for energy use. The steps are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 75 gallons. The rated volume is 38 gallons. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap, so these ratings should be checked against that demand. The unit suits a household that matches that pattern and accepts an energy use of 264 therms. Readers who want energy use below the class median of 260 therms should look at models ranked ahead of it. A household with a lighter draw is tested on a different pattern, and this page has no figure for it. To compare by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.
Running cost is not stated here. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, which this page does not assume. Multiply 264 therms by that price to get a yearly cost at the high draw pattern. You can calculate the cost from your own ZIP. A cost taken from a different draw pattern, or from the price of another fuel, would not match this figure. The installed price range appears in its own block, with its source and date, as a modeled range and not a quote. For a unit in the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number using RG240T*N. Figures for other draw patterns of this model are not available on this page.
