Midea MGWH199ISNN
0.82 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: 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).
If you are checking the Midea MGWH199ISNN against the registry, it uses 206 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 24 therms above the 182 therms class median across 397 gas tankless models tested at the same pattern.
Energy use per year
206 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 182 therms for the 397 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 229 of 397, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (206 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The 206 therms figure is computed by this site, not taken from the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.82 with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The fuel is natural gas, and the source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The registered maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 4.9. The figure holds only for the federal test's daily draw. This page has no measured household data, so actual use in a home is unknown. The steps of the calculation are set out in the methodology for the annual cost.
Against its class, this model has the 229th lowest energy use of 397 gas tankless models at the high draw pattern. That puts it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. Its 206 therms sits 24 therms above the class median of 182 therms. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or a home where showers and laundry overlap, so readers with that usage are the ones this figure represents. It fits less well for a reader who wants the lowest energy use in the class, because the models ranked ahead of the 229th place use less at the same draw pattern. To compare, you can find a same-class replacement by model number. Figures for other draw patterns are not available for this model on this page.
The running cost is not stated in the text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, and this page does not estimate it. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies that price to the 206 therms figure. If your household draws more or less hot water than the high draw pattern assumes, the result will differ from 206 therms, and the size of that difference is not available here. A reader who is unsure which draw pattern applies can use the selector by fuel, space and size. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date, and it is not a quote.
