STATE GCRL-40 2**

0.58 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade G: 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 checking the STATE GCRL-40 2**, it uses 191 therms of natural gas a year. That figure applies at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 6 therms above the 185 therms median of the 288 gas tank models registered at that draw pattern.


Energy use per year

191 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 above the median of 185 therms for the 288 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 231 of 288, lowest energy first.

This model: 191 therms

Solid line: this model (191 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The 191 therms figure is calculated by this site. The registry does not publish it. It combines the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the daily hot-water draw that the DOE test sets for the medium draw pattern. This model's UEF is 0.58, taken from the DOE CCD as retrieved on 2026-09-19. The result applies only to that test draw. It does not describe a home whose daily hot-water use differs from the test, and this page has no figure for such a home. The fuel is natural gas in every figure on this page. The page on how this site calculates annual energy and running cost sets out each step of that calculation.

In the DOE test, the medium draw pattern stands for a typical household of moderate size. This model's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 64 gallons. Its rated volume is 38 gallons. For energy use, it ranks 231st lowest among the 288 gas tank models at the medium draw pattern. Its yearly use of 191 therms is 6 therms above the class median of 185 therms. To check whether a model in the same class uses less energy, you can find same-class models by model number. Models rated at other draw patterns are tested against a different daily draw. Their annual figures should not be compared with this one.

The text on this page does not give a running cost. The running cost is 191 therms multiplied by the average residential gas price in the reader's state, and that price is set state by state. The page instead calculates it from the reader's ZIP. The running cost calculator for your own ZIP shows the result. The 6 therms gap above the class median works the same way: its yearly cost depends on that local rate. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled range for installed cost, not a quote. What a given household actually pays for gas and installation is not available here.
