Ranein RH10K-LPG
0.82 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade 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 Ranein RH10K-LPG, a gas tankless unit, it uses 206 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 24 therms above its class median of 182 therms and ranks 229th lowest in energy use of 397 models.
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.
Solid line: this model (206 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The 206 therms figure comes from this site's calculation. The registry does not publish it. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. This model's UEF is 0.82 in the registry. The annual figure holds only at that test draw. A home that uses more hot water than the test assumes will use more gas, and a home that uses less will use less. The source is DOE's Compliance Certification Database (CCD), retrieved 2026-09-19. The steps behind the figure are set out in how the annual cost is calculated, which also covers the inputs taken from the registry.
The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For this unit, the registry lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 4.3. The class it is compared with holds only gas tankless units tested at the high draw pattern. The gap to that class median, given above, puts this model above the class midpoint for energy use. The 206 therms figure does not describe a household much smaller than the high pattern assumes. That household's own yearly use is not available in the registry. A reader who wants to compare this unit with other models in the same class can run a same-class replacement search by model number with RH10K-LPG.
This page does not state a running cost in the text. The cost of 206 therms of natural gas a year depends on your state's average residential gas price. For that reason, the page computes it from your ZIP. The same yearly use at the high draw pattern can cost different amounts in different states. To see the figure at your own rate, use the cost calculator on your own ZIP. The installed-price block on this page shows a modeled range with its own source and date, and it is not a quote. The registry gives no figure for this unit's running cost in a specific home at that home's actual hot-water use, so that value is unknown here.
