Midea US3-RSJ-15/300RDVN3-L3
4 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade B: where this UEF sits among the 194 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
If you are checking the Midea US3-RSJ-15/300RDVN3-L3, an electric tank, it uses 1,240 kWh a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 66 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh across 194 models. The figure is computed by this site, not read from the registry.
Energy use per year
1,240 kWh 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 electricity rate where you live.
That is below the median of 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 30 of 194, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (1,240 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

UEF 4 · Grade B Price it on your ZIP
The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 4 for this model. This site combined that UEF with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The result is 1,240 kWh of electricity a year. The registry itself does not publish this annual figure. The class is the 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern, and its median is 1,306 kWh. This model sits 66 kWh below that median. It ranks 30th lowest of 194 for energy use, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The energy data comes from DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19.
This energy figure belongs to the high draw pattern only, which is a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. It does not describe a household with lighter hot-water use, and energy use at other draw patterns is not available on this page. The first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 91 gallons, and the rated volume is 74 gallons. The registry data does not show whether that fits your own busiest hour, so compare it with your household's peak use. The water heater selector by fuel, space and size narrows models on those terms. To check a like-for-like unit, find a same-class replacement by model number.
Running cost is not written in this text because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies your rate to the 1,240 kWh figure. The same rate applies to the 66 kWh gap from the class median of 1,306 kWh, so the cost difference against a median model scales with your tariff. Both figures assume the federal test's daily hot-water draw at the high draw pattern. Your actual use may be higher or lower, and the registry does not record it. How the annual cost is calculated explains the steps. The installed price range appears in its own block with its source and date, as a modeled range, not a quote.
