The Truth About Those Old Refrigerators

An old, inefficient refrigerator can cost up to $280 a year to run; a new, efficient refrigerator can save more than $150 each year over a 20-year-old model. While the savings will be less if you are replacing a newer refrigerator, it still will save between $35 and $70 per year. Calculating for a 15-year period for a typical lifespan of a refrigerator, that’s $525 to $1,050.

Mark How much per kilowatt-hour did you use in calculating this article's numbers? (I need to know what the numbers would be when paying 31 cents per kilowatt-hour) 11/9/2009
Susan Thank you, Thomas. You helped me make up my mind to go ahead and replace my refrigerator. I live in Alabama, where we believe "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." It's hard for me to replace my fridge when it still works, but I think it will be worth it. 5/25/2008
