Cost over its typical lifespan

Shopping for a new one

Running above the category average, $131/year is exactly the kind of number that makes a newer, more efficient model pay for itself faster.

Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.

Protecting what you have

At $131/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.

Sourcing

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.
