JETGLAS RG250R*N
0.64 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade 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).
For a second opinion on this unit: the JETGLAS RG250R*N, a gas tank, uses 264 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 4 therms above the class median of 260 therms. It ranks 236th lowest of 414.
Energy use per year
264 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 236 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (264 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.64 for the JETGLAS RG250R*N. This site combined that UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern to compute 264 therms of natural gas a year. The registry does not publish that energy figure itself. It comes from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19, and it applies only at the test draw. Use in a home can differ, and the data holds no information on any household's actual draw. The calculation steps are set out under how the annual cost is calculated.
The class is the 414 models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern. This unit sits 4 therms above the class median of 260 therms, and its rank of 236th lowest places it in the second-highest quarter of the class for energy use. The data does not say whether that gap matters in a given home. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 78 gallons, with a rated volume of 47 gallons. No energy figure is available here for other draw patterns, so the 264 therms does not describe smaller households. The selector by fuel, space and size lists other options.
The running cost is not stated on this page because it depends on the state average residential gas price, and no price for the reader is in the data. The yearly cost at the test draw is 264 therms multiplied by the reader's own gas price. The cost calculator on your ZIP does that multiplication with the state average. The installed-cost range shown elsewhere on this page is a modeled range, not a quote, and its figures are not repeated here. To compare against a same-class unit, find a replacement by model number using RG250R*N.
