GE GSE25GGP against the category
That's 67.4% above the refrigerator category average of 386 kWh/yr, and ranks 4,276 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 $49/year above that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.
What sits beside it in the ranking
GE GSE25GYP ($121/yr, 646 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the GE GSE25GGP. Frigidaire LGHX2636T ($121/yr, 646 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the GE lineup
GE makes 131 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 112 of 131 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the GME04GGK at $43/yr, and its priciest, the GFE28GYN at $136/yr.
Cost over its typical lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical refrigerator's service life at 13 years; run the GE GSE25GGP that long and it costs about $1,579 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Is it worth replacing?
The GE GSE25GGP 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.
Protecting what you have
$121/year to run is the predictable cost of the GE GSE25GGP; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
