GE Profile PNE25NYR Running Cost (Refrigerator)
GE Profile PNE25NYR: running cost
At 609 kWh/yr, the GE Profile PNE25NYR's ENERGY STAR certification puts it one of the more expensive models in its category to run against every other certified refrigerator.
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.
Efficient, or not, for a refrigerator
The category average is 386 kWh/yr; this model runs 57.8% above it, ranking 4,119 of 4,704 refrigerators tracked here for running cost. That average is drawn from all 4,704 refrigerators ENERGY STAR currently certifies, not an outside number, a $42/year gap from this model at the national rate. Full sourcing is in the sourcing notes.
Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the GE Profile PNE25NYR: GE Profile PNE25NML ($114/yr, 609 kWh/yr), then GE GDE25EYK ($115/yr, 610 kWh/yr).
Same brand, different models
Ranked 12 of GE Profile's 46 certified refrigerators, this sits between the PNE21NYR ($107/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the PVD28HYY ($143/yr, its priciest).
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 Profile PNE25NYR that long and it costs about $1,488 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
The GE Profile PNE25NYR 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.

If you're keeping it
$114/year to run is the predictable cost of the GE Profile PNE25NYR; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
