What this adds up to over time

Weighing a replacement
The AVALLON AWC24PG1A2A is already efficient for its category at $19/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new refrigerator costs to run.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
$19/year to run is the predictable cost of the AVALLON AWC24PG1A2A; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
