STATE GCRL-50 2**
0.62 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 414 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
If you are verifying the STATE GCRL-50 2**, it uses 273 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 13 therms above the 260 therms median for the 414 gas tank models registered at the same draw pattern.
Energy use per year
273 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 260 therms for the 414 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 367 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (273 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

This site calculated the 273 therms figure; the registry does not list it. It uses the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high pattern. The registry lists a UEF of 0.62 for this model. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved on 2026-09-19. The annual figure applies only at that test draw. The registry does not show how much gas this unit uses in a real home, so that figure is not available here. If your household draws more or less hot water than the test, your gas use will differ by an amount the data cannot show. The full method is explained on the page about how the annual cost is calculated.
The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For that kind of use, the registry lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 78 gallons. The rated volume is 49 gallons. A plumber or seller checking a replacement can compare these two values with the label on the old unit. The 273 therms figure applies to homes whose daily hot-water use matches the high pattern. The registry does not say whether this model can meet a particular home's peak demand. To see other models with the same fuel and draw pattern, use the tool to find a same-class replacement by model number.
If you want the lowest gas use at the high draw pattern, this model does not fit that goal. It ranks 367th lowest for energy use out of the 414 gas tank models in its class. That puts it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use. The 13 therms gap to the class median, mentioned above, applies only at the federal test's daily draw. This text does not give a running cost. The cost depends on your state's average residential gas price, so the page calculates it from your ZIP code. To see that figure, enter your ZIP code in the cost calculator for your own ZIP code. The installed price block on this page shows an estimated range from a cost model, not a quote.
