Richmond PROE50 T2 RH95
0.93 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 PROE50 T2 RH95, this electric tank uses 3,493 kWh of electricity a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 38 kWh below the 3,531 kWh median of the 426 electric tank models registered at the same draw pattern.
Energy use per year
3,493 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 153 of 426, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (3,493 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

The 3,493 kWh figure is calculated by this site, not published by 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 0.93, taken from the DOE CCD as retrieved on 2026-09-19. The medium pattern stands for a typical household on a busy morning. The figure holds only at that test draw. A home that draws more hot water each day will use more electricity than 3,493 kWh, and a home that draws less will use less. The steps behind the annual figure are published in full, so each input can be checked against the registry entry.
Among the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern, this one ranks 153rd lowest in energy use. Its 3,493 kWh sits 38 kWh below the class median of 3,531 kWh. That places it below the middle of its class, but not at the low end. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 63 gallons from a rated volume of 45 gallons. The comparison fits a household whose daily use is close to the medium pattern. It does not describe a household with heavier use. It also does not cover units that run on another fuel, because the class includes electric tanks only. The selector by fuel, space and size covers those other cases.
The running cost is not stated here, because it depends on your own utility's electricity tariff. The cost equals 3,493 kWh multiplied by the rate you pay per kWh, and tariffs differ by utility and by plan. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies your local rate to this model's figure. That result still carries the medium draw pattern condition, so a home using more hot water will pay more than it shows. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled range for an installed unit, not a quote from an installer. What this model costs to run in any given home is unknown until that home's rate is applied.
