Midea MGWH150IXPP

0.95 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
B

Grade B: where this UEF sits among the 397 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

A gas tankless unit, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).

Checking the Midea MGWH150IXPP? This gas tankless unit uses 178 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It is 4 therms below the class median of 182 therms, ranking 45th lowest of 397 models.


Energy use per year

178 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 182 therms for the 397 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 45 of 397, lowest energy first.

This model: 178 therms

Solid line: this model (178 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The figure of 178 therms was computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw. This unit's UEF is 0.95, and the draw is the one set for the high draw pattern. The figure applies to natural gas at the federal test's draw only. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Real household use can differ, and this page holds no measured data on it. Any change in draw, such as fewer showers, changes the annual figure.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. At that pattern, this unit uses 4 therms less than the class median of 182 therms. Its 45th place among 397 models puts it in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 4.1. The registry data here do not show whether that flow covers simultaneous showers and laundry. A household with a lighter draw pattern should not read 178 therms as its own figure. The test draw for its pattern would differ, and that figure is not available here.

Running cost is not stated in the text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, and this page assumes no price. Multiply 178 therms by your own rate, or use the cost calculator to compute it from your ZIP. The steps are explained in how the annual cost is calculated. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote.
