What this adds up to over time

Shopping for a new one
Running above the category average, $94/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
$94/year to run is the predictable cost of the Mora MRB221N6ASE; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
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.
