Frigidaire FFHT2022A over 13 years
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $88/year, the Frigidaire FFHT2022A adds up to about $1,146 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
The Frigidaire FFHT2022A 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 $88/year every year.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators before buying.
Protecting what you have
At $88/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
