JETGLAS RG250L*N

0.63 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade G: 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).

Checking JETGLAS RG250L*N? At the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, it uses 269 therms of natural gas a year. That is 9 therms above the 260 therms median of the 414 gas tank models registered at that pattern.


Energy use per year

269 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 260 therms for the 414 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 320 of 414, lowest energy first.

This model: 269 therms

Solid line: this model (269 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The figure of 269 therms is computed by this site, not published by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.63 for this model, with the daily hot-water draw the DOE test sets for the high draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Ordered from lowest energy use, this model is 320th of 414, which puts it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. It sits 9 therms above the class median of 260 therms. The figure applies only at the federal test's draw; measured use in a home is not available.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 77 gallons. Its rated volume is 47 gallons. The registry does not state whether that suits a particular household's peak demand, so the value is a listed rating and not a sizing result. A household that draws less than the high pattern would use a different amount than 269 therms, and that figure is not available here. Readers who want to filter by fuel, space and size can use the water heater selector.

The running cost is not written in this text because it depends on the state average residential gas price, which differs by reader. It is the 269 therms at the high draw pattern multiplied by that price per therm. Enter your ZIP in the cost calculator to get the figure, or read how the annual cost is calculated. The same price applied to the class median of 260 therms gives the comparison point, which is 9 therms of energy below this model. A modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date; it is not a quote and is not repeated here. For another unit in the same class, use the same-class replacement search by model number.
