Richmond PROPH80 T0 RH120-M

3.46 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
C

Grade C: where this UEF sits among the 194 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

An electric tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).

If you are verifying this unit, the Richmond PROPH80 T0 RH120-M uses 1,434 kWh of electricity a year. That is at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It is 128 kWh above the 1,306 kWh class median and ranks 131st lowest of 194.


Energy use per year

1,434 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 above the median of 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 131 of 194, lowest energy first.

This model: 1,434 kWh

What these figures mean

The 1,434 kWh figure is not a measurement taken in a home. This site computed it, not the registry. It used the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw. The UEF listed for this model is 3.46, and the source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The class median is 1,306 kWh across 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern. This unit sits 128 kWh above that median. Its rank of 131st lowest places it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. The method for the annual cost is documented separately.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The registry gives this model a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank. The value is 84 gallons, and the rated volume is 72 gallons. These describe capacity, and they do not change the 1,434 kWh estimate. That estimate applies only at the high draw pattern. Energy use at other draw patterns is not available here. Models ranked ahead of this one in the class use less energy at the same draw pattern. The same-class replacement search lets you look for one by model number.

Running cost is not stated in this text because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. Multiply 1,434 kWh by your rate per kilowatt-hour to get a yearly figure. The cost calculator on your own ZIP does this for you. The result holds only at the high draw pattern, so a different level of hot-water use changes it. The 128 kWh gap to the class median is an energy difference. Its cost effect depends on the same rate. The installed price appears in its own block as a modeled range, not a quote. If fuel or space is your constraint, the water heater selector by fuel, space and size covers those.
