Running cost for the Conserv FR2000SREV
At 479 kWh/yr, the Conserv FR2000SREV's ENERGY STAR certification puts it more expensive than most models in its category to run against every other certified freezer.
That $90 is priced at 18.8¢/kWh, the average of all 51 state rates this site tracks. Your own state's rate is one click away.
Efficient, or not, for a freezer
The category average is 401 kWh/yr; this model runs 19.5% above it, ranking 472 of 658 freezers tracked here for running cost. That average is drawn from all 658 freezers ENERGY STAR currently certifies, not an outside number, a $15/year gap from this model at the national rate. Full sourcing is in the sourcing notes.
Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Conserv FR2000SREV: Conserv FR2000BREV ($90/yr, 479 kWh/yr), then Conserv FR2000WREV ($90/yr, 479 kWh/yr).
Within the Conserv lineup
Ranked 20 of Conserv's 21 certified freezers, this sits between the FR300BG ($46/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the FR2000WREV ($90/yr, its priciest).
Lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for freezers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.
Shopping for a new one
The Conserv FR2000SREV runs above its category average. If the freezer you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $90/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
The Conserv FR2000SREV already costs $90/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
Where this number comes from
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. At rank 472 of 658 for running cost, see the freezer category page for the rest of the field, or the guide to how much your state matters.
