Midea JSQ52-26VHUS-NG

This site, not the registry, computes the annual energy figure. It takes the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.82 and applies the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The result is 206 therms of natural gas a year, from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. The comparison group is the 397 models registered as a gas tankless unit at the high draw pattern. Within that group, Midea JSQ52-26VHUS-NG sits 24 therms above the class median of 182 therms. Its rank of 229th lowest puts it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap, so the figure of 206 therms applies only to that kind of use. Energy use at other draw patterns is not available on this page. The registry lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 4.9. The data here does not say how many fixtures that flow serves at once. For a household that matches the high draw pattern, this unit uses 24 therms more than the class median of 182 therms. A reader whose priority is the lowest energy use in the class should note that 229th lowest of 397 is past the midpoint of the ranking. Real gas use will differ if a household's hot-water use differs from the test draw.

Running cost is not stated here because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. Multiply 206 therms by that price to get a yearly figure at the high draw pattern. The cost calculator on your own ZIP does this for you, and how the annual cost is calculated lists the inputs. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block with its source and date. It is not a quote, so this text does not repeat it. The energy figure reflects data retrieved 2026-09-19.
