Rheem PROG30-32N RH63 MH *
0.6 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade F: where this UEF sits among the 288 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).
If you are checking the Rheem PROG30-32N RH63 MH *: it uses 185 therms of natural gas a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 0 therms from the class median of 185 therms for 288 gas tank models, and it ranks 89th lowest.
Energy use per year
185 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 equal to the median of 185 therms for the 288 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 89 of 288, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (185 therms). 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.

The annual figure of 185 therms does not come straight from the registry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.6 for this model, and from the daily hot-water draw that the DOE test assigns to the medium draw pattern. The source data is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure applies only to natural gas at that draw. A household that draws more or less hot water will use a different amount, and this page does not estimate it. The calculation steps are set out under how the annual cost is calculated.
This model has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 52 gallons, and a rated volume of 28 gallons. Those two values, together with the medium draw pattern, describe who the energy figure fits: a typical household on a busy morning. A household whose peak hour needs more hot water than 52 gallons falls outside what this page verifies. On ranking, this model is 89th lowest of 288 gas tank models at the medium draw pattern. Its difference from the class median is 0 therms, so the rank does not show a gap in therms. To compare other fuels, sizes or spaces, try the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.
Running cost is not stated in this text because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies that price to the 185 therms shown here, at the medium draw pattern. A price range for the unit itself is not published: this model's ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it. Nothing here estimates a price for this model. If you need a unit in the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number, starting from PROG30-32N RH63 MH *. The UEF of 0.6 is the registry's value, and this page does not test it independently.
