Ruud PROPH80 T2 RH400-30
4.07 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade B: where this UEF sits among the 194 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
An electric tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
You are checking a Ruud PROPH80 T2 RH400-30 against its listing. At the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, it uses 1,219 kWh of electricity a year. That is 87 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh across 194 electric tank models.
Energy use per year
1,219 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 1,306 kWh for the 194 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 14 of 194, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (1,219 kWh). Dashed line: the class median.

UEF 4.07 · Grade B Price it on your ZIP
The 1,219 kWh figure is computed by this site, not by the registry. This site combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw. The model's UEF is 4.07. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure is in kWh of electricity, the fuel this electric tank uses. It holds only for the high draw pattern. Inlet water temperature and actual hot-water use will move real consumption away from it. The steps of the calculation are set out in the water heater cost methodology.
Among the 194 models registered as an electric tank at the high draw pattern, this model ranks 14th lowest for energy use. That places it in the lowest quarter of its class. Its 1,219 kWh is 87 kWh below the class median of 1,306 kWh. The comparison covers energy use only. The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap, so the figure fits that use. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 87 gallons. The rated volume is 72 gallons. A household with lighter hot-water use falls under a different draw pattern, and this page gives no energy figure for it.
The running cost is not stated in this text, because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The cost calculator on your own ZIP applies your local rate to the 1,219 kWh figure at the high draw pattern. At a higher rate, the 87 kWh gap from the class median of 1,306 kWh is worth more. At a lower rate, it is worth less. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote.
