The figure of 249 therms was computed by this site, not published by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.68 with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. It applies to natural gas at that fixed daily draw only. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. A home that draws more or less hot water than the test draw will use a different amount, and this page does not estimate it. Because the draw is fixed, the figure compares registered models on equal terms.

Among the 414 models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern, this model ranks 164th lowest in energy use. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class, 11 therms below the class median of 260 therms. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap, so the figure suits homes that match that description. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 103 gallons, with a rated volume of 46 gallons. A smaller household with a lower draw falls outside the condition of this figure. The water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size. The figure does not apply to any other fuel.

The running cost is not stated here because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. Multiplying 249 therms by that price gives the yearly cost at the test draw, and the cost calculator does this from your ZIP. The steps behind it are set out in the methodology for the annual cost. The installed price appears in its own block, as a modeled installed-cost range with its source and date, not a quote. To compare against another unit in the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number. The difference of 11 therms from the median of 260 therms holds only at the high draw pattern. No figure for other draw patterns is given here.
