Pavilion UT199DV (GQ-C3260WX-FF PB US)
0.96 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade A: 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).
Checking the Pavilion UT199DV (GQ-C3260WX-FF PB US)? This gas tankless unit uses 176 therms of natural gas a year under the federal test. That figure is for the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 6 therms below the median of 182 therms for the 397 gas tankless models at that pattern.
Energy use per year
176 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 12 of 397, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (176 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The 176 therms figure is computed by this site, not published by the registry. It combines the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily draw. The registry lists a UEF of 0.96 for this unit, from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at the test's daily hot-water draw for the high pattern. A household that draws more or less hot water each day will use more or less gas than this. The site has no data on this unit's use in any real home, so that difference is unknown. The method is set out on the page on how the annual cost is calculated.
Among the 397 gas tankless models registered at the high draw pattern, this unit ranks 12th lowest for energy use. That places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The 6 therms gap to the class median applies only at the test draw. The high pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The registry lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 5.6 for this unit. A home whose daily use is closer to a smaller draw pattern is not what this figure describes. For that case, the selector by fuel, space and size covers other classes.
This page gives no running cost in its text for the 176 therms figure. The cost depends on your state's average residential gas price, which differs from state to state. The page computes it from your ZIP instead of stating one national figure. Until you enter a ZIP, the site does not know your rate. You can also use the cost calculator on your own ZIP for this model. Your gas price changes the cost of the 176 therms, but not the unit's 12th place among 397 models. The installed-price range sits in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote.
