ELIOS MGWH150IXNN
0.95 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade B: where this UEF sits among the 397 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tankless unit, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
Checking this unit's energy figure? The ELIOS MGWH150IXNN uses 178 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 4 therms below its class median of 182 therms, and it ranks 45th lowest of 397 models.
Energy use per year
178 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 below the median of 182 therms for the 397 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 45 of 397, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (178 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 178 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 0.95 for this model. The daily hot-water draw comes from the DOE test for the high draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The condition is natural gas at the federal test's draw, not metered use in a home. Real household use is not available in this data. The registry lists the maximum flow rate in gallons per minute as 4.1. That rating is separate from the annual energy figure.
This page's figure applies to a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap, because that is what the high draw pattern describes. For that household, 178 therms is the value to compare with other gas tankless models at the same draw pattern. A household with lower hot-water use should not read 178 therms as its own figure, because the test draw is fixed. The rank of 45th lowest applies only within the class of gas tankless units registered at the high draw pattern. Models registered at another draw pattern are not among the 397 compared here. This page has no figure for other draw patterns. A reader who needs a different fuel or size can use the water heater selector.
The running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, so the page computes it from your ZIP. The cost calculator applies that price to 178 therms of natural gas at the high draw pattern. The result is a running cost at the federal test's draw, and a household with different use will pay a different amount. The methodology page explains how the annual cost is calculated. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. To find a same-class unit by model number, use the replacement search.
