STATE FMHR-30 4**
0.6 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade F: where this UEF sits among the 288 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).
If you are verifying the STATE FMHR-30 4**, a gas tank water heater, here is its annual energy figure. It uses 185 therms of natural gas a year under the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That sits 0 therms from its class median of 185 therms, equal to the median.
Energy use per year
185 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 equal to the median of 185 therms for the 288 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 89 of 288, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (185 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What it costs to install
Not published: Installed cost range
This model's rated tank size lies outside the range NLR REMDB's cost model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it.
The annual energy figure on this page does not depend on this range and is unaffected.
Safety record
No CPSC recall names this model.
Checked against the CPSC recall database. CPSC does not publish a model-level match for this product category, so this list is curated by hand from the manufacturer's recall filings.

This site calculated the 185 therms figure; the registry does not publish it. It combines the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the medium draw pattern. The rated UEF is 0.6, taken from DOE's Compliance Certification Database (CCD), retrieved 2026-09-19. The class is the 288 models registered as a gas tank at the medium draw pattern. Within it, this model ranks 89th lowest in energy use of 288. Its figure matches the class median of 185 therms, a difference of 0 therms. The figure applies only at the test's daily draw. This page has no energy figure for households that draw more or less hot water. The method behind the annual figure sets out each step of the calculation.
In DOE's terms, the medium draw pattern stands for a typical household on a busy morning. This model's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 63 gallons. Its rated volume is 29 gallons. A household's peak morning demand is compared against those two ratings. If a home's busiest hour needs more than 63 gallons of hot water, this rating does not cover it. A home whose use matches a different draw pattern belongs to a different class, so this class comparison would not apply to it. If you need to compare gas tanks with other fuels, spaces and sizes, the water heater selector by fuel, space and size lists those options side by side.
This text gives no running cost, because the cost depends on your state's average residential gas price. The page calculates it from your ZIP, using the 185 therms figure at the medium draw pattern. To check that result on your own rate, use the cost calculator for your own ZIP. This page also has no installed price range for the STATE FMHR-30 4**. The model's ratings fall outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on. The site does not apply that model beyond its fitted range, so the installed price is unknown here. If you need another unit in the same class, you can find a same-class replacement by model number.
