Richmond PROE40 T2 RH CG
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 PROE40 T2 RH CG, it uses 3,531 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That equals the median of 3,531 kWh among the 426 electric tank models in its class, a difference of 0 kWh. It ranks 213th for lowest energy use.
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.

This site calculates the 3,531 kWh figure; the registry does not publish it. The calculation 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 the Richmond PROE40 T2 RH CG, the UEF is 0.92. The source is the DOE Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-09-19. The medium pattern represents the daily use of a typical household. The annual figure applies only at that federal test draw. A home that uses more or less hot water each day will use a different amount of electricity, and that amount is not available here. Each step is set out in how the annual cost is calculated, including where the daily draw comes from.
This unit is an electric tank with a rated volume of 36 gallons. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 55 gallons. The registry lists it at the medium draw pattern. It suits a household whose busiest hour of hot-water use stays within 55 gallons. It does not cover a household that regularly needs more than that in its peak hour. Such a home belongs to a different draw pattern, and this page does not compare models across patterns. Within its own class of 426 models, this one ranks 213th for lowest energy use. To compare models by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.
The running cost does not appear in this text because it depends on your own electricity rate, which varies by utility and area. This model uses 3,531 kWh a year, the same as the class median of 3,531 kWh, a difference of 0 kWh. So at any given rate, its yearly running cost matches that of a median-use electric tank model in the same class. The actual amount is the annual energy multiplied by your rate. The page works this out from your ZIP, and you can also run it in the water heater cost calculator for your ZIP. The installed price is shown in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modelled installed-cost range, not a quote.
