GE GP30T**BXR01

0.6 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
F

Grade F: 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 GE GP30T**BXR01, a gas tank, it uses 185 therms of natural gas a year. That figure is for the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It is 0 therms from the class median of 185 therms across 288 models.


Energy use per year

185 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 equal to the median of 185 therms for the 288 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 89 of 288, lowest energy first.

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.

What these figures mean

The registry lists this GE GP30T**BXR01 with a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.6. This site combines that UEF with the daily hot-water draw of the medium draw pattern to reach 185 therms of natural gas a year. The registry does not publish that annual figure itself. It is computed here, using data from the DOE CCD retrieved on 2026-09-19. Among the 288 models registered as a gas tank at the medium draw pattern, this one ranks 89th lowest for energy use. The class median is 185 therms and the difference is 0 therms, so this unit uses the same as the median model. It sits in the second-lowest quarter of its class.

The 185 therms figure applies to a household whose hot-water use matches the medium draw pattern, which is a typical household on a busy morning. The unit has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 52 gallons, and a rated volume of 30 gallons. Those two ratings are the ones to compare against your own peak demand. A household with heavier or lighter use than the medium draw pattern would see a different annual energy figure, and this page has no value for it. To filter by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector. To list same-class models by model number, use the replacement finder.

Running cost is not stated here because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. Applying that price to 185 therms gives the yearly gas cost at the medium draw pattern, and the cost calculator does this from your ZIP. The steps behind the calculation are in the annual cost methodology. Because this model's energy use is 0 therms from the class median of 185 therms, a median model in the class would cost the same to run at your rate. An installed price range is not published for this model. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.
