JETGLAS RG140T*N

0.59 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade 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 yearly gas use of the JETGLAS RG140T*N, the figure is 188 therms at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 3 therms above the class median of 185 therms among 288 gas tank models.


Energy use per year

188 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 186 of 288, lowest energy first.

What these figures mean

The 188 therms figure is not published by the registry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.59 for this model. It applies the federal test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern, which represents a typical multi-person household. The fuel is natural gas, and the source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure describes test conditions only. Energy use in a home with a different daily draw is not available here. The methodology page explains the calculation step by step.

Among the 288 models registered as a gas tank at the medium draw pattern, this unit ranks 186th lowest in energy use. It sits 3 therms above the class median of 185 therms, so it uses more energy than the median model at the same draw. The data supports that comparison and nothing beyond it. The model suits a household whose hot-water use resembles the medium draw pattern. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 64 gallons, and its rated volume is 38 gallons. A household with a much larger or smaller daily draw should check other sizes with the water heater selector.

The running cost is not stated in this text. It equals the 188 therms above multiplied by the state average residential gas price, so it changes with the reader's location. The cost calculator applies that price to your own ZIP. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date, and is a modeled range rather than a quote. To compare this model with others in its class, use the replacement finder with the model number RG140T*N. Real-home gas use is not in the registry, so the 188 therms figure should be read only as a test-condition comparison.
