Over the 13-year service life NAHB reports for this category, running the GE GIE19JSN costs roughly $1,132 in electricity, separate from the purchase price.
Weighing a replacement
The GE GIE19JSN 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 $87/year every year.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators before buying.
Protecting what you have
A refrigerator like the GE GIE19JSN 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.
