BRADFORD WHITE RG2DVMH30T*N

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.6 for this model. This site computed the annual figure of 185 therms from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The registry does not publish the annual figure itself. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only to natural gas at that test draw. The medium draw pattern is the one this model was rated against for this comparison. A household that draws more or less hot water than the test will use a different amount.

Among the 288 models registered as a gas tank at the medium draw pattern, this one ranks 89th lowest in energy use. That places it in the quarter just above the lowest-use group of its class. Its 185 therms equals the class median of 185 therms, so the difference is 0 therms. Because the model sits at the median, it neither saves nor adds energy compared with a typical model in this class. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 56 gallons. The rated volume is 29 gallons. Households with a larger morning peak can compare both figures with their own demand using the water heater selector.

The running cost depends on the state average residential gas price, so no cost figure is written here. The cost calculator applies your own ZIP code to the 185 therms figure. The methodology page explains how the annual cost is calculated. This model suits a natural gas home whose hot-water use resembles the medium draw pattern. It suits less well a home with a much larger or smaller daily draw, where the figure will not hold. An installed price range is not published, because this model's ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on. The range is not extended past it. If you need a same-class unit, the replacement finder works from a model number.
