BRADFORD WHITE RG250T*N

This site computes the 269 therms figure; the registry does not publish it. The calculation combines the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The registry lists a UEF of 0.63 for this unit, from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure therefore describes the federal test's usage, not any particular home. A household that draws less hot water than the test would be expected to use less gas, and one that draws more would use more. This page cannot show how any one household's usage compares with the test. The steps are set out in how this site calculates annual energy and running cost.

The high draw pattern fits a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For that use, the registry lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 81 gallons. The rated volume is 48 gallons. Among the gas tank models at this draw pattern, this unit ranks 320th for lowest energy use out of 414. That places it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. The data does not show how the model performs at other draw patterns, so its fit for a smaller household is not available here. A reader comparing options can find a same-class replacement by model number.

The running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on the reader's state average residential gas price, so the page computes it from the reader's ZIP code. The same 269 therms a year produces a different cost in each state. The gap to the class median, noted above, is priced at that same local rate. The running cost calculator for your own ZIP code applies your state's rate to this model's figure. The installed-cost range on this page appears in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. How this unit performs in a particular home is not measured in this data.
