KENDRAJA KEN-BC2332

0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
C

Grade C: where this UEF sits among the 80 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

A gas tankless unit, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).

Checking this listing? The KENDRAJA KEN-BC2332 is a gas tankless unit. It uses 120 therms of natural gas a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 15 therms below the class median of 135 therms across 80 models, ranking 3rd lowest.


Energy use per year

120 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 135 therms for the 80 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 3 of 80, lowest energy first.

Safety record

No CPSC recall names this model.

Checked against the CPSC recall database. CPSC does not publish a model-level match for this product category, so this list is curated by hand from the manufacturer's recall filings.

What these figures mean

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.92 for this model. This site computed 120 therms a year from that UEF and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The registry does not publish the annual figure itself. The medium pattern represents a typical household on a busy morning. The figure is for natural gas only and comes from DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. A household that uses more or less hot water than the test assumes will see a different annual figure.

Compare it with the 80 models registered as a gas tankless unit at the medium draw pattern. This model sits 15 therms below their median of 135 therms. Its rank of 3rd lowest puts it in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use. This suits a reader confirming how a listed unit's energy use compares with its class. The registry lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 4.1. That rating describes flow capacity, not annual energy, so it does not affect the rank. Flow at other inlet conditions is not available in this data.

This figure suits a reader checking a listing at the medium draw pattern. It does not suit a comparison at another draw pattern, because the 135 therms median applies only to the medium one. The running cost is not stated in the text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, applied to 120 therms a year. The cost calculator does that on your own ZIP, and the annual cost methodology explains the steps. To compare against another unit of the same class, use the same-class replacement search by model number. The installed-price range appears in its own block, with source and date, as a modeled range and not a quote.
