Richmond XG29T12XR60U0

This site calculated the 238 therms figure. The registry does not publish it. The inputs are the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. This model's UEF is 0.71. The registry values come from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 414 gas tank models at the high draw pattern, this model ranks 84th lowest in energy use. That puts it in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The figure applies only at the federal test's daily draw. A home that uses more or less hot water than that draw will use a different amount of gas.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The Richmond XG29T12XR60U0 has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 93 gallons. Its rated volume is 28 gallons. The 238 therms figure applies to a home whose daily use is close to that test pattern. For a home with lighter or heavier use, the figure does not apply directly. The data here gives no energy value for this model at any other draw pattern. To check other units registered in the same class, use the same-class replacement search by model number.

The text of this page does not give a running cost. The cost depends on your state's average residential gas price, so the page calculates it from your ZIP. Enter your ZIP in the water heater cost calculator to apply your own gas rate to 238 therms a year. For the formula, see how the annual cost is calculated. This page does not publish an installed price range for this model. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and this site does not extend that range. The 22 therms gap below the class median is a difference in energy use, not in cost.
