TAKAGI T-H3S-DV-N 1**

0.95 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19
B

Grade B: where this UEF sits among the 397 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

A gas tankless unit, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).

If you are checking the TAKAGI T-H3S-DV-N 1**, a gas tankless unit, it uses 178 therms of natural gas a year. That figure applies at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. It sits 4 therms below the 182 therms median of the 397 models in its class.


Energy use per year

178 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 below the median of 182 therms for the 397 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 45 of 397, lowest energy first.

This model: 178 therms

Solid line: this model (178 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The registry does not print the 178 therms figure. This site calculated it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, and from the daily hot-water draw in the DOE test for the high draw pattern. The registered UEF for this model is 0.95. The high pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The registry data comes from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. If your figure is different, first check whether it uses another draw pattern. The annual value only applies at the daily draw used in the federal test. The steps are explained in how the annual cost is calculated.

Within its class, the T-H3S-DV-N 1** ranks 45th lowest energy use of 397 models registered as a gas tankless unit at the high draw pattern. That puts it in the lowest quarter of its class for energy use. Its 178 therms is 4 therms below the class median of 182 therms. The registry also lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 5.4 for this unit. You can compare that rate with the combined flow of the fixtures a home uses together. The class comparison only covers the high draw pattern. Annual use for a home that uses less hot water is not available here. To compare other models in this class, use find a same-class replacement by model number.

No running cost is given in this text, because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. The page calculates it from your ZIP and the 178 therms of natural gas at the high draw pattern. If a seller quotes a yearly running cost for this model, it can only be checked if they also give the rate they used. Enter your ZIP in the cost calculator for your own ZIP to see the cost at your rate. The installed price range appears in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote. The registry has no energy use figure for homes whose hot-water demand differs from the test draw.
