BRADFORD WHITE RG250H*N

The figure of 269 therms is not a registry value. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.63 for this model, and from the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The fuel is natural gas, and the figure holds only at that test draw. Among the 414 models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern, this model ranks 320th lowest in energy use. That puts it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use, 9 therms above the class median of 260 therms. The methodology page explains how the annual figure is calculated.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 106 gallons for this model. The rated volume is 46 gallons. Those two figures are the ones to compare with your own peak-hour use. A household that matches this draw pattern is the case the 269 therms figure describes. A household with lighter use is not covered by it, and this unit's energy figure at other draw patterns is not available on this page. Readers who want low energy use within the class should note the rank of 320th lowest of 414. The water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size.

The running cost is not stated in the text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, and this page does not estimate it. The cost calculator applies the rate for your ZIP to the 269 therms figure. The result applies to the test draw only, so your actual gas use will differ if your household draws more or less hot water than the high draw pattern. For comparison, a model at the class median uses 260 therms under the same conditions. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, as a modeled installed-cost range and not a quote. To look for a same-class unit, use replace by model number with RG250H*N.
