ILVE UFFC36SINPRY Running Cost (Freezer)
ILVE UFFC36SINPRY: running cost
At 630 kWh/yr, the ILVE UFFC36SINPRY's ENERGY STAR certification puts it one of the more expensive models in its category to run against every other certified freezer.
That $118 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 57.1% above it, ranking 648 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 $43/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 ILVE UFFC36SINPRY: HESTAN KRCF36 ($118/yr, 630 kWh/yr), then KUCHT KR360TF ($118/yr, 630 kWh/yr).
Within the ILVE lineup
The ILVE UFFC36SINPRY is the only freezer from ILVE that ENERGY STAR currently certifies, so there's no same-brand model to weigh it against here, only the full freezer category.
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 ILVE UFFC36SINPRY 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 $118/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
The ILVE UFFC36SINPRY already costs $118/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
At rank 648 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. The 630 kWh/yr figure is ENERGY STAR's own certification, not a wattage estimate; exact dataset IDs are on the data sources page.
