Frigidaire FGHD2368T against the category
That's 71% above the refrigerator category average of 386 kWh/yr, and ranks 4,332 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 $52/year above that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.
What sits beside it in the ranking
Frigidaire LFHD2251T ($124/yr, 660 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Frigidaire FGHD2368T. Frigidaire FFHD2250T ($124/yr, 660 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Same brand, different models
Frigidaire makes 311 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 285 of 311 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the FRWE4626AS at $28/yr, and its priciest, the FRFS2813B at $137/yr.
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 Frigidaire FGHD2368T that long and it costs about $1,613 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Is it worth replacing?
The Frigidaire FGHD2368T 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 $124/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
A refrigerator like the Frigidaire FGHD2368T 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.
Sourcing
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 660 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.
