Ruud PROE40 M2 RH95

0.93 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade 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 Ruud PROE40 M2 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 class median of 3,531 kWh. It ranks 153rd lowest in energy use among 426 comparable models.


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.

This model: 3,493 kWh

What these figures mean

This site computes the 3,493 kWh figure; the registry does not publish it. The figure 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. The UEF for this model is 0.93, from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. On the federal test, the medium pattern represents a typical household's daily use. The tank's rated volume is 36 gallons. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 55 gallons. That equals the busy-morning demand the medium pattern describes. The steps behind these figures are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.

This model is compared with the 426 electric tanks registered at the medium draw pattern. Within that class, it uses 38 kWh less a year than the class median of 3,531 kWh. It ranks 153rd lowest in energy use. The figure is most useful to a reader whose household draw is close to the medium pattern. It is less useful where daily use is heavier or lighter, because the computed annual energy follows the test's daily draw. This page has no energy figure for other draw patterns, so that value is not available. A reader matching a like-for-like swap can find a same-class replacement by model number. A reader comparing other sizes or fuels can use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.

The running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on your own utility electricity tariff, which the text cannot know in advance. The page works it out from the 3,493 kWh of electricity at the medium draw pattern and the tariff for your ZIP. You can check that result in the cost calculator for your own ZIP. The 38 kWh gap to the class median works the same way: what it is worth depends on your rate. The installed price is shown in its own block, with its source and date. That block gives a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote.
