How to estimate refrigerator freezer electricity cost
- Use the average power draw or energy label data if available.
- Keep the default 24-hour runtime, then adjust only if your appliance behaves very differently.
- Use the monthly cost to compare an old appliance against a more efficient replacement.
How to reduce running cost
- Check door seals, airflow, and temperature settings before assuming the appliance is efficient.
- Avoid overfilling vents and clean condenser areas when possible.
- Compare old versus newer models if the annual cost is high.
