Is your hot water heater over 10 years old? It might be time to replace it. Conventional water heaters typically last 10-15 years, with sediment and corrosion reducing performance over time.
The Bradford White RG250T6N is a 50-gallon gas water heater. With a height of 60-1/8" and a diameter of 22", it fits standard installations. Featuring 40,000 BTUs input and a First Hour Delivery of 81 gallons, it ensures reliable performance for peak hot water demand.
Performance Features
The First Hour Rating (FHR) indicates the amount of hot water available within an hour of use. While the heater continually heats incoming cold water, efficient usage depends on household demand and temperature settings. For example, a household needing 89 gallons during peak times should consider a heater with an FHR of 87-91 gallons.
Energy Efficiency
The Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) measures the heater's energy efficiency, accounting for recovery efficiency, standby losses, and cycling losses. Higher UEF values indicate better efficiency, but fuel costs also impact operational expenses.
