What this adds up to over time
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $110/year, the Hisense HRF266N6CE1 adds up to about $1,425 in electricity over that span.
Shopping for a new one
The Hisense HRF266N6CE1 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 $110/year every year.
