STATE ATHR-180M 1**

0.95 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
B

Grade B: 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 the STATE ATHR-180M 1**, this gas tankless unit uses 178 therms of natural gas a year. That figure belongs to the high setting of the draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 4 therms below the median of 182 therms for its class.


Energy use per year

178 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 below the median of 182 therms for the 397 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 45 of 397, lowest energy first.

This model: 178 therms

What these figures mean

The 178 therms figure is computed by this site, not published by the registry. 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 0.95, taken from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. The result holds only at the federal test's daily draw. A home that draws more or less hot water may use a different amount of gas. The steps behind the figure are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.

The comparison group is the 397 models registered as a gas tankless unit at the high draw pattern. Within that group this model ranks 45th lowest for energy use, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The high draw pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The registry lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 5.3 for this unit. The registry data does not show whether that flow covers a given home, because that depends on how many outlets run at once. To compare it with other units, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.

The 178 therms figure is not a fair benchmark for a smaller household that draws less hot water than the high draw pattern assumes. It also does not carry over to a unit on another fuel, because the calculation uses natural gas at this model's UEF. The running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, so the page computes it from your ZIP code and the 178 therms figure. You can check that result for your own address with the cost calculator for your ZIP code. The installed price range appears in its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote.
