The 206 therms figure is computed by this site; it is not listed in the registry. It combines the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, with the daily hot-water draw in the DOE test for the high draw pattern. For this model the UEF is 0.82, taken from the DOE Compliance Certification Database and retrieved 2026-09-19. The result holds only at that test draw. A home that uses more or less hot water each day will use a different amount of gas. Among the 397 models in its class, this unit ranks 229th lowest in energy use. The steps behind the figure are explained on the page about how the annual energy use and cost are calculated.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The 206 therms figure applies to that kind of home. A household that fits a lower draw pattern should not use this figure for its own gas use. The registry lists a maximum flow rate in gallons per minute of 8.5 for this unit. Whether that flow covers a given home depends on how many fixtures run at once. The data here does not include any home's actual demand, so that fit is not known from this page. If you need a different fuel, space or size, the water heater selector by fuel, space and size filters the registry on those terms.

The running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, so the page calculates it from your ZIP. That rate is applied to the 206 therms figure at the high draw pattern. Because this model uses 24 therms more gas a year than its class median, its yearly cost is higher than a median model's at any given rate. How much higher depends on your price, which this text does not know. The installed-cost range on this page is a modeled range, not a quote, and appears in its own block with its source and date.
