Rheem PROE55 T2 RH94
0.92 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: 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 PROE55 T2 RH94, it uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern. The draw pattern is the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. Among 426 electric tank models at the same draw pattern, its figure is equal to the class median of 3,531 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh.
Energy use per year
3,531 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 equal to the median of 3,531 kWh for the 426 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 213 of 426, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (3,531 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

UEF 0.92 · Grade G Price it on your ZIP
The 3,531 kWh figure does not come from the registry. This site calculated it from two inputs. The first is the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which the registry lists as 0.92. The second is the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The UEF comes from the DOE Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-09-19. The medium pattern represents a typical household on the federal test day, not any specific home. If your household uses more or less hot water than the test assumes, your yearly use will differ from 3,531 kWh. The data here cannot show by how much. The calculation steps are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
The 3,531 kWh figure applies only at the medium draw pattern. The tank's rated volume is 55 gallons. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 72 gallons. A household whose busiest hour stays within that first hour rating is close to the conditions behind the figure. A household with heavier mornings falls outside the test pattern. The registry gives no energy figure for that case, so it is not available here. To compare units of other sizes or fuels, use the selector by fuel, space and size.
In its class, this model ranks 213th lowest in energy use out of 426. Its difference from the class median is 0 kWh. At the medium draw pattern, it therefore uses the same amount of energy as the class median. The running cost is not given here because it depends on your own utility's electricity rate. Enter your ZIP in the cost calculator for your own ZIP to see it. The installed price range has its own block, with its source and date. That range is modeled, not a quote. To find a unit in the same class by model number, use the same-class replacement lookup.
