FRIEDRICH PROE28 S2 RH93 SB-HO
0.94 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 426 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).
If you are checking this FRIEDRICH PROE28 S2 RH93 SB-HO, an electric tank, it uses 3,456 kWh a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 75 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh, and 137th lowest of 426 models.
Energy use per year
3,456 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 below the median of 3,531 kWh for the 426 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 137 of 426, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (3,456 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What it costs to install
Not published: Installed cost range
This model's rated tank size 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 3,456 kWh is not a registry entry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.94 and the daily hot-water draw that the DOE test assigns to the medium draw pattern. The fuel is electricity, and the source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The comparison covers the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern. This model sits 75 kWh below their median of 3,531 kWh. Its rank of 137th lowest places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The calculation is set out on the methodology page.
The figure applies to the medium draw pattern only, which stands for a typical household on a busy morning. This model has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 53 gallons, and a rated volume of 26 gallons. A household whose busiest hour resembles the test draw is the case that 3,456 kWh describes. A household with heavier or lighter use is not covered, and this page has no energy figure for other draw patterns. The gap of 75 kWh to the class median also holds only for models compared at the medium draw pattern. To compare units by fuel, space and size, the water heater selector covers those inputs.
The running cost is not stated here because it depends on your own utility electricity rate. The page multiplies 3,456 kWh by that rate, and the cost calculator does this from your ZIP. An installed price range is not published for this model. Its ratings, including the rated volume of 26 gallons, lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and that range is not stretched past its limits. For a unit of the same class as this PROE28 S2 RH93 SB-HO, the replacement lookup by model number lists candidates. Any energy figure it shows for them carries its own draw pattern condition.
