Richmond RTG-95DVLN-1

The 206 therms figure for the Richmond RTG-95DVLN-1 is computed by this site and is not published by the registry. It combines the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily draw for the high pattern. The registry lists this unit's UEF as 0.82, and the source is DOE CCD, retrieved on 2026-09-19. A home that uses more or less hot water than the test assumes will burn a different amount of gas. The data does not show how far actual household use departs from the test draw. The steps are set out on the page explaining how the annual cost is calculated, which uses the same UEF and test draw.

Among the 397 models registered as a gas tankless unit at the high draw pattern, this one ranks 229th lowest for energy use. That places it in the second-highest quarter of its class, so more than half the class uses less gas under the same test. The high pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This figure applies to the high pattern only, so it does not describe expected use in a home with lower demand. The registry gives a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 5 for this model. The data does not say whether that flow covers a particular home's fixtures running at once. To check other models in the same class, use the same-class replacement search by model number.

The text of this page names no running cost for the Richmond RTG-95DVLN-1. That cost depends on your state's average residential gas price, so the page computes it from your ZIP. At any single price, the 24 therms gap above the 182 therms class median shifts the yearly gas cost in the same direction. The modeled installed-cost range sits in its own block with its source and date, and it is not a quote. To apply the 206 therms figure to your own rate, use the cost calculator for your ZIP. If your household does not match the high pattern, the selector by fuel, space and size lists other models.
