What sits beside it in the ranking
VITARA VFFR2102ESSE ($107/yr, 569 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Verona VEBFD3620WIFS. Savalo S700RFD36BWIFSS600RFD36BIFS ($107/yr, 569 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the Verona lineup
Among Verona's 13 certified refrigerators, this is the priciest to run, $33/year over the VEFTF3021RBK, the brand's cheapest.
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 Verona VEBFD3620WIFS that long and it costs about $1,391 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
The Verona VEBFD3620WIFS 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 $107/year every year.
