Same brand, different models
GE makes 131 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 113 of 131 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the GME04GGK**** at $43/yr, and its priciest, the GFE28GYN**** at $136/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 GE GSE25GYP**** that long and it costs about $1,579 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Shopping for a new one
The GE GSE25GYP**** 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 GSE25GYP****; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
