Ruud PROE50 T2 RH95
0.93 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade 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).
Checking the Ruud PROE50 T2 RH95? At the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, this electric tank uses 3,493 kWh of electricity a year. That is 38 kWh below its class median of 3,531 kWh. It ranks 153rd lowest in energy use of 426 models.
Energy use per year

This site calculates the 3,493 kWh total; the registry does not list it. The calculation 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 on record for this model is 0.93, from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The test sets a fixed draw, so the total applies only at that draw. A household that uses more or less hot water each day will see a different total. The class comparison uses the same condition: the 426 models registered as an electric tank at the medium draw pattern. The median among them is 3,531 kWh, and this model sits 38 kWh below it. The steps are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.
The medium draw pattern represents a typical household of several people on a busy morning. The tank's rated volume is 45 gallons. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 63 gallons. A household whose morning peak stays within 63 gallons matches the condition behind the 3,493 kWh figure. A household with a larger peak falls outside that condition. So does a household that needs a gas unit instead of an electric tank. The rank of 153rd lowest of 426 applies only within this class of medium-pattern electric tanks. It says nothing about models in other classes. To compare units by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.
The text on this page gives no running cost. The cost of 3,493 kWh a year depends on the electricity tariff of your own utility. The page computes that cost from your ZIP, using the same 3,493 kWh at the medium draw pattern. The cost calculator for your own ZIP shows the figure at your rate. On the same tariff, this model's cost gap from a median unit follows its energy gap of 38 kWh. The installed price range appears in a separate block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote. If you need a replacement in the same class, you can find a same-class replacement by model number.
