That $114 is priced at 18.8¢/kWh, the average of all 51 state rates this site tracks. Your own state's rate is one click away.
How the GE GNE25JGK compares to other refrigerators
The category average is 386 kWh/yr; this model runs 57.8% above it, ranking 4,110 of 4,704 refrigerators tracked here for running cost. 4,704 certified refrigerators, one average, about $42/year of daylight between it and this model; the full methodology has the rest.
Neighbouring models
Right next to the GE GNE25JGK on that list: Crosley XNE25JSK ($114/yr, 609 kWh/yr) runs slightly less, while GE GNE25JMK ($114/yr, 609 kWh/yr) runs slightly more.
Same brand, different models
Ranked 96 of GE's 131 certified refrigerators, this sits between the GME04GGK ($43/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the GFE28GYN ($136/yr, its priciest).
Cost over its typical lifespan
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $114/year, the GE GNE25JGK adds up to about $1,488 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
The GE GNE25JGK 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 $114/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
$114/year to run is the predictable cost of the GE GNE25JGK; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
How this was checked
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. 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.
