E

Grade E: where this UEF sits among the 10 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set

A gas tankless unit, low draw pattern (a one- or two-person household).

If you are checking TURBRO WH-65K, a gas tankless unit, this site computes 93 therms of natural gas a year at the low draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 0 therms from the class median of 93 therms.


Energy use per year

93 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 equal to the median of 93 therms for the 10 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 4 of 10, lowest energy first.

This model: 93.38 therms

Solid line: this model (93.38 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

What these figures mean

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.82 for TURBRO WH-65K. This site, not the registry, converts that UEF into 93 therms of natural gas a year by applying the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the low draw pattern. The figure was retrieved on 2026-09-19. Among the 10 models registered as a gas tankless unit at the low draw pattern, this unit ranks 4th lowest for energy use. That places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class. Its difference from the class median of 93 therms is 0 therms, so it uses the same energy as the median model. The calculation is described on the methodology page.

The low draw pattern describes a one- or two-person household, so the figure of 93 therms applies only to that level of hot-water use. The registry also lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 2.4 for this unit. That rating is a separate figure from the annual energy and does not change it. A household with heavier daily use than the federal test assumes would not match the 93 therms shown here. Energy figures for other draw patterns are not available on this page. To compare units by fuel, space and size, the water heater selector filters on those three inputs.

The running cost is not written in the text, because it depends on the state average residential gas price where the reader lives. The cost is 93 therms multiplied by that price, and the page computes it from the ZIP you enter in the cost calculator. No price is estimated here. The annual figure assumes the federal test's daily draw for the low draw pattern, so gas use in a home can differ, and the registry does not measure it. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block with its source and date, and it is not repeated here. To look for a same-class unit, the replacement finder searches by model number, for example WH-65K.
