STATE GCRL-50 4**
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 checking the STATE GCRL-50 4**, a gas tank water heater, this site computes its use at 273 therms of natural gas a year. That figure holds at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 13 therms above its class median of 260 therms, ranking 367th lowest energy use of 414.
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.

The 273 therms figure does not appear in the registry itself. This site computed it from two inputs. The first is the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which the registry lists as 0.62. The second is the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The registry values come from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Because the test fixes the daily draw, the figure describes this model under that federal condition only. The figure does not cover a household whose daily hot-water use differs from the test draw. Its actual use is not available here. The steps behind the calculation are set out in how the annual energy and cost figures are calculated.
The high draw pattern corresponds to 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 81 gallons. The rated volume is 50 gallons. Among gas tank models at the high draw pattern, this one places 367th lowest of 414 on energy use. That puts it in the highest quarter of its class for energy use, with the gap to the median given above. A reader checking this unit against lower-energy models in the same class can use a same-class replacement search by model number. The registry cannot show whether a given home's demand matches the high pattern.
This text does not state the running cost, because it depends on the reader's state average residential gas price. The page computes it from the reader's ZIP. It uses the 273 therms per year at the high draw pattern as the quantity of gas. Two readers in different states will therefore see different costs for the same GCRL-50 4**. To check that figure on your own rate, use the water heater cost calculator for your ZIP. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote, and this text does not repeat it. The energy figures reflect the registry as retrieved on 2026-09-19. This page does not know about any registry change after that date.
