Comparing Crosley Professional's own models
Crosley Professional sells 3 certified refrigerators; this one runs cheapest of them, $7/year under the ZRFHW257S, its priciest.
Cost over its typical lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical refrigerator's service life at 13 years; run the Crosley Professional ZRSEH268A that long and it costs about $1,581 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Is it worth replacing?
The Crosley Professional ZRSEH268A runs above its category average. If the refrigerator 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 $122/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
At $122/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
