OMNImax 3750-001 Running Cost (Refrigerator)
What the OMNImax 3750-001 costs to run
At 550 kWh/yr, the OMNImax 3750-001's ENERGY STAR certification puts it one of the more expensive models in its category to run against every other certified refrigerator.
That $103 is priced at 18.8¢/kWh, the average of all 51 state rates this site tracks. Your own state's rate is one click away.
Efficient, or not, for a refrigerator
The category average is 386 kWh/yr; this model runs 42.5% above it, ranking 3,756 of 4,704 refrigerators tracked here for running cost. That average is drawn from all 4,704 refrigerators ENERGY STAR currently certifies, not an outside number, a $31/year gap from this model at the national rate. Full sourcing is in the sourcing notes.
Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the OMNImax 3750-001: Moffat MDE19D ($103/yr, 550 kWh/yr), then OMNImax 3750-247 ($103/yr, 550 kWh/yr).
Comparing OMNImax's own models
Ranked 14 of OMNImax's 16 certified refrigerators, this sits between the 3730-937 ($40/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the 3760-675 ($111/yr, its priciest).
Cost over its typical lifespan
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $103/year, the OMNImax 3750-001 adds up to about $1,344 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
The OMNImax 3750-001 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 $103/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
At $103/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
Where this number comes from
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. Ranked 3,756 of 4,704, the OMNImax 3750-001 sits in the middle of the refrigerator category, see the guide to why your state changes this number for the other half of the math.
