FRIEDRICH PROG40-30P RH62 DV
0.58 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 288 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).
If you are checking the FRIEDRICH PROG40-30P RH62 DV, a gas tank water heater, it uses 191 therms of natural gas a year. That figure belongs to the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 6 therms above the 185 therms median of the 288 gas tank models at that draw pattern.
Energy use per year
191 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 185 therms for the 288 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 231 of 288, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (191 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry does not print the 191 therms figure. This site calculated it from the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used. The calculation also uses the daily hot-water draw from the DOE test for the medium pattern. The registry lists a UEF of 0.58 for this unit, from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 288 gas tank models at the medium draw pattern, it ranks 231st lowest in energy use. That puts it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. The rank and the gap to the median both come from the same test conditions. They compare this unit only with gas tank models tested at the medium draw pattern, not with other fuels or heater types.
The medium draw pattern represents a typical mid-size household with a busy morning of hot-water use. For that level of use, this unit's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 58 gallons. Its rated volume is 38 gallons. The 191 therms figure applies only at the daily draw used in the test. If a household uses more or less hot water than that, the figure does not describe its gas use. This page has no energy figure for other draw patterns. To check which models in the same class use less energy, you can find a same-class replacement by model number. To compare across fuel types and sizes, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.
The running cost is not given here because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. The page calculates it from your ZIP code, using that price and the 191 therms figure. You can run the same calculation in the cost calculator for your own ZIP. The steps and sources are explained in how the annual cost is calculated. The installed price range has its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled range for installed cost, not a quote. The 6 therms gap to the class median measures energy use. What that gap costs you depends on your local gas price, and this text does not state that price.
