What sits beside it in the ranking
Monogram ZIC30GNN ($100/yr, 534 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Monogram ZIC303NPP. Fisher & Paykel RS36W(X) ($100/yr, 534 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the Monogram lineup
Monogram makes 27 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 16 of 27 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the ZIW241NBW at $22/yr, and its priciest, the ZICS360NV at $114/yr.
What this adds up to over time
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical refrigerator's service life at 13 years; run the Monogram ZIC303NPP that long and it costs about $1,305 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
Running above the category average, $100/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
Whether or not the Monogram ZIC303NPP ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a refrigerator, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
