RINNAI (V75I)REU-VC2528FFU-US

0.82 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 397 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

A gas tankless unit, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).

If you are checking this unit's figures, the RINNAI (V75I)REU-VC2528FFU-US uses 206 therms of natural gas a year. That figure applies at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It is 24 therms above the 182 therms median of the 397 gas tankless models registered at the same pattern.


Energy use per year

206 therms 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 natural gas rate where you live.

That is above the median of 182 therms for the 397 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 229 of 397, lowest energy first.

This model: 206 therms

What these figures mean

This site computed the 206 therms figure; the registry does not publish it. 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 high draw pattern. For this model the UEF is 0.82. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at that test draw. A household that uses more or less hot water than the test assumes will use a different amount of gas. The steps are set out on the page explaining how the annual energy and cost are calculated. The registry data does not include measured gas use at any specific address.

Among the 397 gas tankless models registered at the high draw pattern, this unit ranks 229th from the lowest energy use. That puts it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. The high pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For that kind of household, the 24 therms a year above the class median is a like-for-like comparison. The registry lists its maximum flow rate in gallons per minute as 4. A reader checking a quoted unit against others in the same class can find a same-class replacement by model number.

The 206 therms figure does not describe a smaller household's use, because it assumes the high pattern's daily draw. This page has no estimate at a lower draw. This page also does not state the running cost. It depends on the reader's state average residential gas price, so the page computes it from the reader's ZIP. The cost calculator for your own ZIP applies that rate to 206 therms of natural gas a year. The installed-cost range appears in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote.
