E

Grade E: 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 what the JETGLAS RG2PV40T*N19 gas tank uses? At the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, it uses 235 therms of natural gas a year. That is 25 therms below the class median of 260 therms across 414 registered models.


Energy use per year

235 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 260 therms for the 414 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 50 of 414, lowest energy first.

This model: 235 therms

Solid line: this model (235 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The registry lists this model at a UEF of 0.72, with UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, as the underlying measure. The annual figure is computed by this site, not published by the registry. It combines that UEF with the daily hot-water draw in the DOE test for the high draw pattern, and gives 235 therms of natural gas a year. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The class is the 414 models registered as a gas tank at this draw pattern, and its median is 260 therms. This model sits 25 therms below that median. Its rank is 50th lowest energy use of 414, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The steps behind the calculation are set out in the methodology for annual cost.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. Energy use is only one input for that situation; capacity is another. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 78 gallons for this model, and the rated volume is 38 gallons. A household whose busiest hour needs more than 78 gallons falls outside what this rating shows. The figure of 235 therms applies only at the federal test's daily draw. Measured energy use in a real home is not available in the registry data, so any difference from the test draw is unknown. To compare by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.

The running cost is not stated here because it depends on the state average residential gas price, which differs by reader. The quantity that price applies to is 235 therms, at the high draw pattern. The cost calculator takes a ZIP and applies the state average residential gas price to that figure. At any single price, the 25 therms gap to the class median of 260 therms moves cost in the same direction, below the median. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page with its source and date, and it is not a quote. To look up a model in the same class for comparison, use the replacement lookup by model number.
