FRIEDRICH PROPH50 T2 RH400-30
3.88 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade A: 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).
You are checking this entry, so here is the figure. FRIEDRICH PROPH50 T2 RH400-30 uses 837 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 2,694 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh among 426 electric tank models.
Energy use per year
837 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 5 of 426, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (837 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

UEF 3.88 · Grade A Price it on your ZIP
The figure of 837 kWh was computed by this site, not by the registry. The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 3.88. This site pairs it with the test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. That pattern represents a typical household on a busy morning. The fuel is electricity, and the source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The number applies only at that test draw, so a household that uses more or less hot water will see a different total. The calculation is described in the methodology for the annual figure.
Among 426 electric tank models at the medium draw pattern, this model ranks 5th lowest for energy use. That puts it in the lowest quarter of its class. The class median is 3,531 kWh, and this model sits 2,694 kWh below it. The registry lists a rated volume of 45 gallons. It also lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank. That rating is 67 gallons. The annual figure does not show whether this supply covers a given household's busiest hour. The figure suits a reader whose use resembles the medium draw pattern. Readers who need to filter by fuel, space and size can use the water heater selector.
Running cost is not stated in the text. It depends on the electricity tariff of the reader's own utility, so this page does not estimate it. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies the local rate to 837 kWh. The same energy use costs different amounts in different service areas. The installed price range appears in its own block with its source and date, and this text does not repeat it. To look for a same-class unit, use the replacement finder by model number and enter PROPH50 T2 RH400-30. That comparison stays within the medium draw pattern and the 426 models in this class.
