Hisense RT180N3SEH over 13 years
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $85/year, the Hisense RT180N3SEH adds up to about $1,100 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
The Hisense RT180N3SEH 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 $85/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
A refrigerator like the Hisense RT180N3SEH is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
