Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Frigidaire FFHN2740P**A: Whirlpool WRS335SDH*0* ($120/yr, 640 kWh/yr), then Frigidaire FFHN2750T* ($121/yr, 642 kWh/yr).
Comparing Frigidaire's own models
Ranked 269 of Frigidaire's 311 certified refrigerators, this sits between the FRWE4626AS ($28/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the FRFS2813B* ($137/yr, its priciest).
Cost over its typical lifespan
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $121/year, the Frigidaire FFHN2740P**A adds up to about $1,569 in electricity over that span.
Shopping for a new one
The Frigidaire FFHN2740P**A 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 $121/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
A refrigerator like the Frigidaire FFHN2740P**A is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
