Same brand, different models
Frigidaire makes 30 ENERGY STAR certified freezers; this one ranks 29 of 30 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the FFCS0562AW at $37/yr, and its priciest, the GRDF1911A at $102/yr.
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 Frigidaire PRDF1922A 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 $98/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
$98/year to run is the predictable cost of the Frigidaire PRDF1922A; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
The data behind this page
