G

Grade 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 MGWH199OSNN for a larger household, it uses 206 therms of natural gas a year. That figure belongs to the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 24 therms above the class median of 182 therms.


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.

This model: 206 therms

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 this unit at UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.82. It also lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 5, as the rated maximum. The annual figure of 206 therms was computed by this site, not by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The energy data come from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only at the federal test's draw. Real household use can differ, and this page holds no measured data for a specific home.

Among the 397 models registered as a gas tankless unit at the high draw pattern, it ranks 229th lowest in energy use. That places it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. Its 206 therms is 24 therms above the class median of 182 therms. A larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap, matches the draw pattern this figure describes. A smaller household should not read 206 therms as its own use, because the test draw may not match theirs. The registry data on this page do not show what a lower-use household would consume.

Running cost is not written here. It depends on the state average residential gas price for the reader's ZIP. Multiplying 206 therms by that price gives a check by hand. The cost calculator on your own ZIP does this for the model, and how the annual cost is calculated explains the steps. To compare against other units at the class median of 182 therms, use the same-class replacement search by model number. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block with its source and date. It is not a quote, and this text does not restate it.
