The $99 figure above uses the simple average of all 51 published state rates. Pick your state for the real number.
Summit FDRD175SSIM against the category
That's 36% above the refrigerator category average of 386 kWh/yr, and ranks 3,592 of 4,704 certified refrigerators for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. The category average comes from every refrigerator ENERGY STAR currently certifies (4,704 models), not an outside benchmark, about $26/year above that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.
What sits beside it in the ranking
Summit LFD3017SSIM ($99/yr, 525 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Summit FDRD175SSIM. Smeg FD30UXI ($99/yr, 525 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Same brand, different models
Summit makes 148 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 132 of 148 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the ADRD15 at $48/yr, and its priciest, the S4D18WIM at $102/yr.
What this adds up to over time
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $99/year, the Summit FDRD175SSIM adds up to about $1,283 in electricity over that span.
Is it worth replacing?
The Summit FDRD175SSIM 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 $99/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
At $99/year just to run, a refrigerator is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
Sourcing
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. Ranked 3,592 of 4,704, the Summit FDRD175SSIM 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.
