STATE GUR 40 4**

0.64 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
G

Grade 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 GUR 40 4** gas tank, it uses 264 therms of natural gas a year. That figure applies to the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 4 therms above the 260 therms median of the 414 gas tank models registered at the high draw pattern.


Energy use per year

264 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 236 of 414, lowest energy first.

This model: 264 therms

Solid line: this model (264 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

This site calculated the 264 therms figure. The registry does not list it. The calculation 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 draw pattern. For this model the UEF is 0.64. The figure holds only at that test draw. A household that uses more or less hot water will use a different amount of gas. Among the 414 gas tank models at the high draw pattern, this unit ranks 236th lowest in energy use. That puts it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. Both the rank and the 4 therms gap come from the same test draw. The full method is on the page that explains 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 figures to compare with that use are the 38-gallon rated volume and the first hour rating. First hour rating means the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank. For this model it is 83 gallons. If a household needs more than 83 gallons in its busiest hour, that need is beyond this rating. A smaller household with lighter use matches a different draw pattern. For that household, the 264 therms figure does not describe its actual use. The class comparison covers only gas tanks at the high draw pattern. To see how other registered models in that class compare, you can find a same-class replacement by model number.

The running cost is not stated here, because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. The page calculates it from your ZIP, using the 264 therms figure at the high draw pattern. You can see that result in the water heater cost calculator for your own ZIP. The 4 therms gap to the class median is priced at the same rate. So the cost difference from a median model depends on your gas price. The installed price range appears in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. The energy data comes from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. A later registry update could change the class median or this model's rank.
