FRIEDRICH PRO H65 T2 RH310BM

3.5 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
C

Grade C: where this UEF sits among the 194 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).

For a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap, the FRIEDRICH PRO H65 T2 RH310BM uses 1,417 kWh of electricity a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 111 kWh above the class median of 1,306 kWh, among 194 electric tank models.


Energy use per year

1,417 kWh 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 electricity rate where you live.

That is above the median of 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 119 of 194, lowest energy first.

This model: 1,417 kWh

Solid line: this model (1,417 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The registry lists a 3.5 UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used. This site combined that value with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern to get 1,417 kWh a year. The registry does not publish that annual figure. The site computes it from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern, this one is 119th lowest in energy use. The class median is 1,306 kWh, and this model sits 111 kWh above it, in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. The figure applies only to the federal test's draw. A household that uses more or less hot water than the test assumes will see a different total.

The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 75 gallons. The rated volume is 59 gallons. The registry lists this model at the high draw pattern, which describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. A reader who needs the lowest annual energy use in the class is not served by this listing, because of the 111 kWh gap to the median. Rank alone does not show how the unit performs in a particular home. Whether the first hour rating covers a specific household's peak demand is not in the registry data, and this page does not estimate it. To compare other options, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size or find a same-class replacement by model number.

The running cost is not stated in this text, because it depends on the electricity tariff at the reader's own address. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies a local rate to the 1,417 kWh shown here. The page on how the annual cost is calculated sets out the steps. The figure is electricity at the high draw pattern, so a different rate changes the cost at that rate. The gap of 111 kWh from the class median of 1,306 kWh stays the same in kilowatt-hours whatever the rate. The modeled installed-cost range is in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote.
