FRIEDRICH PROE50 M2 RH95
0.93 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 verifying this listing, FRIEDRICH PROE50 M2 RH95 uses 3,493 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 38 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh among 426 electric tank models.
Energy use per year
3,493 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 153 of 426, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (3,493 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 3,493 kWh is not a registry value. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.93 for this model, and from the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Against the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern, this model ranks 153rd lowest for energy use. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its use is 38 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh. The comparison holds only for the medium draw pattern and only for electric tanks.
The medium draw pattern describes a typical household as the test defines it. This model has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 62 gallons, and a rated volume of 45 gallons. Those two figures, not the annual energy figure, describe how much hot water is available at once. The annual figure suits a reader comparing energy use for a household whose hot-water use resembles the medium draw pattern. It does not describe a household with heavier or lighter use, because the test draw is fixed and this page does not model other draws. Whether 62 gallons covers a particular household's busiest hour is not shown by the registry data. The water heater selector filters by fuel, space and size.
Running cost is not stated in this text because it depends on the electricity tariff of the reader's own utility. The energy figure of 3,493 kWh is the quantity to multiply by that rate. The cost calculator does this from the reader's ZIP, and the methodology page explains how the annual cost is calculated. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote, and it is not repeated here. To compare PROE50 M2 RH95 with a same-class unit, you can find a replacement by model number. The 38 kWh gap to the class median of 3,531 kWh comes from registry ratings and the test draw, not from measurements in a specific home.
