CHIONE CTM12SH against the category
That's 20.2% below the refrigerator category average of 386 kWh/yr, and ranks 1,800 of 4,704 certified refrigerators for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. The category average comes from every refrigerator ENERGY STAR currently certifies (4,704 models), not an outside benchmark, about $15/year below that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.
What sits beside it in the ranking
Conserv FR2000BREV ($58/yr, 308 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the CHIONE CTM12SH. Frigidaire FRAE2136AW ($58/yr, 306 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the CHIONE lineup
The CHIONE CTM12SH is the only refrigerator from CHIONE that ENERGY STAR currently certifies, so there's no same-brand model to weigh it against here, only the full refrigerator category.
What this adds up to over time
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical refrigerator's service life at 13 years; run the CHIONE CTM12SH that long and it costs about $753 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Shopping for a new one
The CHIONE CTM12SH is already efficient for its category at $58/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new refrigerator costs to run.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators before buying.
Protecting what you have
At $58/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
Sourcing
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 308 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Refrigerator category page shows all 4,704 refrigerators ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
