Rheem PRO H40 T2 RH310BM

3.5 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
B

Grade B: where this UEF sits among the 426 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).

If you are checking the Rheem PRO H40 T2 RH310BM, it uses 928 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 2,603 kWh below the 3,531 kWh median of the 426 electric tank models at that pattern, ranking 84th lowest of 426.


Energy use per year

928 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 3,531 kWh for the 426 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 84 of 426, lowest energy first.

This model: 928 kWh

Solid line: this model (928 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

What it costs to install

Not published: Installed cost range

This model's rated tank size lies outside the range NLR REMDB's cost model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.

The annual energy figure on this page does not depend on this range and is unaffected.


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 928 kWh figure is computed by this site, not taken from the registry. 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 medium pattern. This model's UEF is 3.5, from the DOE CCD retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at that test draw. The registry data used here gives no annual energy figure for any other level of use. The steps behind the number are set out in how the annual cost is calculated. Measured against the class median given above, the gap of 2,603 kWh puts this model in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use.

DOE defines the medium draw pattern as a typical household's use, including a busy morning. For this model, the first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 60 gallons. The rated volume is 36 gallons. A household whose busiest hour stays within 60 gallons matches the conditions behind the 928 kWh figure. A household that draws more in its busiest hour sits outside those conditions, and this page has no energy figure for it. To compare other units by the same criteria, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.

Running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on your own utility's electricity tariff, so the page computes it from your ZIP. Multiplying 928 kWh by your own rate per kWh gives the yearly cost at the medium pattern. The cost calculator for your own ZIP does this step for you. An installed price range is not published for this model. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it. If you are matching a unit for replacement, the same-class replacement search by model number starts from the PRO H40 T2 RH310BM.
