What sits beside it in the ranking
VITARA VFFR1800EBE ($96/yr, 512 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Verona VEFFD3018RISL. UNIQUE UGP-510L W AC ($96/yr, 512 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Comparing Verona's own models
Verona makes 13 ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators; this one ranks 10 of 13 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the VEFTF3021RBK at $74/yr, and its priciest, the VEBFD3620WIFS at $107/yr.
Cost over its typical lifespan
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $96/year, the Verona VEFFD3018RISL adds up to about $1,251 in electricity over that span.
Is it worth replacing?
The Verona VEFFD3018RISL 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 $96/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
At $96/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 3,560 of 4,704, the Verona VEFFD3018RISL 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.
