What this adds up to over time

13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $88/year, the Marvel MPRI*24-SS*1A adds up to about $1,149 in electricity over that span.

Weighing a replacement

Running above the category average, $88/year is exactly the kind of number that makes a newer, more efficient model pay for itself faster.

Protecting what you have
