STATE ATM-160M-N 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 ATM-160M-N 1**, it uses 178 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 4 therms below the 182 therms median for the 397 gas tankless models at this pattern. It ranks 45th lowest of 397.


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.

What these figures mean

This site computes the 178 therms figure; the registry does not publish it. The calculation combines this model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.95 with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The registry values come from the DOE Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-09-19. The figure holds only at that test draw. A household that draws more or less hot water each day will use more or less gas than 178 therms. Against the class, the gap is 4 therms on a median of 182 therms. That rank of 45th of 397 places the model in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use. The steps behind the figure are set out on how the annual energy and cost figures are calculated.

The high draw pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The 178 therms figure assumes that usage, so it applies most directly to a home of that kind. The registry also lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 4.8 for this model, measured under the DOE test's temperature rise. That flow rate limits how much hot water the unit delivers at once; it does not measure energy use. Whether 4.8 covers a given home depends on how many fixtures run at the same time. This page does not have that information. To compare other units by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector by fuel, space and size.

The text gives no running cost. The cost of 178 therms of natural gas depends on your state's average residential gas price. The cost calculator for your own ZIP applies that price to this model's annual use. The figure also has limits. It does not describe a smaller household with lighter daily use. At the same UEF of 0.95, that household's gas use would be lower than 178 therms, and this page does not have the amount. The rank of 45th of 397 compares only gas tankless units at the high draw pattern. It does not cover tank or electric models. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block, with its source and date, and it is not a quote.
