Richmond PROE38 S2 RH95 B
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 Richmond PROE38 S2 RH95 B, this electric tank uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year. That figure applies at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It is 0 kWh from the median of the 426 electric tanks registered at the same draw pattern, so it sits at the median.
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.

The 3,531 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. For this model the UEF is 0.92. The medium pattern models a typical family household with a busy morning peak. The input data come from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at that test draw. A home that uses more or less hot water than the test will use a different amount of electricity. How far real use departs from the test is not available for any single home. The steps are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
Within its class, this model ranks 213th lowest in energy use of 426 electric tanks at the medium draw pattern. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The tank has a rated volume of 35 gallons. It also has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 51 gallons. It suits a home whose busiest hour of hot-water use stays within 51 gallons. A home that draws more than that in its busiest hour will run short of hot water within that hour. The registry data do not show how this model performs outside the test conditions. To compare other sizes or fuels, use the selector by fuel, space and size.
The running cost is not stated here, because it depends on your own utility's electricity tariff. It follows from 3,531 kWh at the medium draw pattern and the price you pay per kWh. Rates differ by utility and tariff, so a single figure would not hold across homes. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies your local rate to this model's annual energy use. If your household uses more hot water than the medium pattern, both energy use and cost will be higher than that result. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote from an installer. It is separate from the yearly running cost.
