BRADFORD WHITE RG2MH30T*N
0.54 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 9 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, low draw pattern (a one- or two-person household).
If you are verifying this water heater's energy figure, the BRADFORD WHITE RG2MH30T*N uses 142 therms of natural gas a year. That is at the low draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, meaning a one- or two-person household. It equals its class median of 142 therms, a difference of 0 therms.
Energy use per year
142 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 equal to the median of 142 therms for the 9 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 4 of 9, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (142 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What it costs to install
Not published: Installed cost range
This model's UEF lies outside the range NLR REMDB's cost model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.
The annual energy figure on this page does not depend on this range and is unaffected.
Safety record
No CPSC recall names this model.
Checked against the CPSC recall database. CPSC does not publish a model-level match for this product category, so this list is curated by hand from the manufacturer's recall filings.

The figure of 142 therms was computed by this site, not by the registry. It uses the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.54 for this model. That is combined with the daily hot-water draw the DOE test assigns to the low draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19, and the fuel is natural gas. Among the 9 models registered as a gas tank at the low draw pattern, this one has the 4th lowest energy use of 9. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. The class median is 142 therms, so the difference from the median is 0 therms. Energy use at any other draw pattern is not available here.
The registry lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 50 gallons. The rated volume is 29 gallons. The energy figure of 142 therms applies only to the low draw pattern, a one- or two-person household. A household that draws more hot water than the federal test assumes is outside that condition, and this page gives no energy figure for it. At this draw pattern the model's energy use equals the class median of 142 therms, so it sits neither above nor below the median. To compare units by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.
The running cost is not stated in the text because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. The cost calculator applies that price, found from your ZIP, to the 142 therms at the low draw pattern. How the annual cost is calculated is described on the methodology page. The installed price range is not published for this model. Its ratings, a first hour rating of 50 gallons and a rated volume of 29 gallons, lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it. If you need a unit in the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number using RG2MH30T*N.
