Midea MGWH199IXPP

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).

If you are checking the Midea MGWH199IXPP, this gas tankless unit uses 178 therms of natural gas a year. That figure is for the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 4 therms below the 182 therms median of the 397 gas tankless models registered at that pattern.


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

What these figures mean

This site calculated the 178 therms figure; the registry does not publish it. The calculation uses the registry's 0.95 UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The registry data come from the DOE CCD and were retrieved on 2026-09-19. The figure applies only at that test draw, and this page does not have the gas use for any particular home. Among the 397 gas tankless models registered at the high draw pattern, this unit has the 45th lowest energy use. That puts it in the lowest quarter of its class, 4 therms a year below the 182 therms median. The method behind the annual energy and cost figures lists each input.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The 45th rank and the 4 therms gap apply only within that comparison. This unit's registered maximum flow rate in gallons per minute is 5.7. A household whose use matches a lower draw pattern falls outside this comparison. The registry data on this page do not include this model's energy use at a lower pattern. A reader comparing it with a unit of another fuel or heater type is also outside this class. The water heater selector by fuel, space and size covers those cases. The same-class replacement search by model number lists other models in this class.

The text on this page does not state a running cost. The cost depends on the reader's state average residential gas price, so the page calculates it from the reader's ZIP. It uses two inputs: the 178 therms a year and that local rate. The 4 therms gap to the class median is priced the same way, so its cost also varies by state. Both results assume the high draw pattern at the DOE test's daily draw. The running-cost calculator for your own ZIP gives the result for your rate. The installed price appears in a separate block as a modeled range, not a quote. That block also shows its source and date.
