Midea US3-RSJ-15/300RDVN3-L4
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).
Checking the listing for Midea US3-RSJ-15/300RDVN3-L4? It uses 1,240 kWh of electricity 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 electric tank models registered at that draw pattern.
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.

The figure of 1,240 kWh is a calculation made by this site, not a value published by the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 4 with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 194 electric tank models registered at this draw pattern, this model sits 66 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh. Its rank is 30th lowest energy use of 194, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The steps behind the calculation are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This model's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 91 gallons, and its rated volume is 75 gallons. Both values come from the registry and are the ones to compare with your household's peak demand. Households with a lower or different draw pattern should not read 1,240 kWh as their own figure, because it applies only at the high draw pattern's daily draw. Actual use will differ with your own hot-water habits, and the data here does not estimate that difference. To narrow options by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.
Running cost is not stated in the text. It depends on your own utility electricity tariff, and 1,240 kWh is the quantity that rate applies to. The cost calculator works this out from your ZIP code. The installed price range appears in its own block on the page, with its source and date, so it is not repeated here. If you are checking a like-for-like swap, you can find a same-class replacement by model number using US3-RSJ-15/300RDVN3-L4. Any candidate is compared at the same high draw pattern, so its gap to the 1,306 kWh median can be read next to this model's gap of 66 kWh. The registry figures for a candidate are not part of this page.
