GE GP50T**AYV01
0.61 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade 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).
For a check on the GE GP50T**AYV01: it uses 182 therms of natural gas a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 3 therms below the class median of 185 therms, among 288 gas tank models registered at the same draw pattern.
Energy use per year
182 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 185 therms for the 288 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 73 of 288, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (182 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.61 for the GE GP50T**AYV01. This site, not the registry, computed the 182 therms figure from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure is for natural gas only and holds only at that draw pattern. Among the 288 gas tank models registered at the medium draw pattern, this one ranks 73rd lowest in energy use, in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its position relative to the class median of 185 therms is the 3 therms difference stated above. This page has no data on how that gap changes at a different draw pattern.
The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 65 gallons for this model, and its rated volume is 50 gallons. These two figures describe supply, while 182 therms describes energy use at the medium draw pattern. The registry data used here does not link one to the other. The energy figure suits a reader comparing this model with others tested at the same draw pattern. It does not suit a household whose hot-water use differs from that test, because 182 therms would then not apply. To compare within the same class, the selector by fuel, space and size narrows models by those attributes, and you can find a same-class replacement by model number starting from GP50T**AYV01.
The running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on the average residential gas price in your state, and this page does not estimate it. To apply that price, multiply 182 therms by your own rate per therm; the cost calculator on your own ZIP does this for you. The 3 therms gap to the class median of 185 therms converts to cost the same way. The method used to calculate the annual cost is documented separately. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on the page, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote, and its figures are not repeated here. The energy figure itself was retrieved on 2026-09-19.
