Vancepic VH13K-NG

This site computed the 206 therms figure; it is not taken directly from the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. This unit's UEF is 0.82, as listed in DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 397 gas tankless models registered at the high draw pattern, it ranks 229th when ordered from lowest energy use. That places it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. A home drawing more or less hot water than the test day will use a different amount. The steps behind the annual energy and cost figures are set out separately.

The high draw pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The registry lists this unit's maximum flow rate in gallons per minute as 5.3. The registry does not record how many fixtures a given home runs at once. So whether 5.3 covers a particular home is not available here. For a smaller household, the 206 therms figure does not describe its use, because it is fixed to the high draw pattern. A plumber or seller checking a swap can match the draw pattern and flow rate against the old unit's listing. The same-class replacement lookup by model number lists models registered in the same class.

This text states no running cost for the Vancepic VH13K-NG. The cost of 206 therms of natural gas a year depends on the reader's state average residential gas price. The page therefore computes it from the reader's ZIP, using the same high draw pattern figure. The cost calculator for your own ZIP shows that result. The cost of the 24 therms gap above the 182 therms class median also varies by state, for the same reason. No local price is estimated here. The installed price range on this page is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote; its source and date sit in its own block.
