BRADFORD WHITE URG250H*N
0.64 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 414 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
If you are checking this water heater's energy use, BRADFORD WHITE URG250H*N uses 264 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 4 therms above the class median of 260 therms among 414 gas tank models.
Energy use per year
264 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 above the median of 260 therms for the 414 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 236 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (264 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 264 therms is not a registry entry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, is 0.64 for URG250H*N. The DOE CCD data was retrieved on 2026-09-19. Among the 414 models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern, this unit ranks 236th lowest in energy use. That places it in the second-highest quarter of its class. Its use is 4 therms above the class median of 260 therms. The calculation is described on the methodology page.
The 264 therms figure applies only to the high draw pattern, meaning a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 110 gallons for this model. Its rated volume is 46 gallons. A household with a different draw pattern is not covered by this figure, and this page has no value for other patterns. Readers who want to filter by fuel, space and size can use the water heater selector. A same-class comparison for URG250H*N can start from the replacement finder.
Running cost is not stated in the text because it depends on the natural gas price you pay. The page computes it from your ZIP, using the state average residential gas price applied to 264 therms at the high draw pattern. You can see the result in the cost calculator. Because URG250H*N sits 4 therms above the class median of 260 therms, the same rate applied to the median gives a lower result. The size of that difference depends on the rate. The installed price range is shown in its own block on the page, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote, and it is not repeated here.
