GE GG50T**AYV01
0.68 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade F: where this UEF sits among the 414 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
If you are checking the GE GG50T**AYV01, a gas tank water heater, it uses 249 therms of natural gas a year. That figure applies at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 11 therms below the 260 therms median of the 414 gas tank models registered at that pattern.
Energy use per year
249 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 below the median of 260 therms for the 414 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 164 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (249 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry does not print the 249 therms figure. This site computed it from the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.68. It also used the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. Both inputs come from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 414 gas tank models at the high draw pattern, this unit ranks 164th lowest for energy use. That puts it 11 therms below the class median, but not at the low end of the class. The figure holds only at the test's daily draw. A household that uses more or less hot water will burn a different amount of gas. The method behind the annual figure sets out each step.
The high draw pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For that use, the registry lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 82 gallons. It also lists a rated volume of 50 gallons. The 249 therms figure describes a home whose daily hot-water use is close to that pattern. For a home with lighter use, no figure is available, because this page holds no energy data for this model at any other draw pattern. A household that needs more than 82 gallons in its busiest hour is outside what the first hour rating covers. To compare other fuels, spaces or sizes, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.
The text on this page gives no running cost. The yearly gas bill for 249 therms depends on your state's average residential gas price. For that reason, the page works it out from your ZIP rather than printing a single figure for every reader. You can also enter your ZIP in the running-cost calculator for your own rate. The installed price appears in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote. If you are checking a like-for-like swap, the same-class replacement finder by model number lists other gas tank models at the high draw pattern. The 260 therms median mentioned above is the comparison point for those models.
