BRADFORD WHITE RG250S*N

The figure of 269 therms is computed by this site, not published by the registry. It starts from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.63 for this model. The site applies that UEF to the daily hot-water draw the DOE test sets for the high draw pattern. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure is for natural gas at that test draw only, so a home that uses more or less hot water than the test assumes will use a different amount. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap.

This model ranks 320th lowest in energy use of 414, which places it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. Its 269 therms is 9 therms above the class median of 260 therms. That comparison covers only models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern, and it measures gas use at the test draw, not performance in a particular home. The registry also lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 75 gallons, and a rated volume of 47 gallons. Those capacity figures are separate from the energy figure. To filter by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.

The running cost is not stated here because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. To apply your own rate to 269 therms, use the cost calculator for your ZIP; the method is described under how the annual cost is calculated. This model fits a reader whose household matches the high draw pattern and who has natural gas. It is a weaker fit for a reader who ranks by low energy use, since 320th lowest of 414 is in the highest quarter. The modeled installed-cost range is shown in its own block, as a range and not a quote. To compare against another unit, find a same-class replacement by model number.
