Model
Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS
Rank #337 means 336 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 73rd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 73% of those models.
What does the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS cost to run per year?
Ranking #337 of 622, the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS runs at roughly $80 a year, neither the cheapest nor the priciest in its class. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $89/yr to run, a saving of roughly $9 a year. Normalized for capacity, it beats 73% of freezer models we track, a better-than-average efficiency result. At 16.4 cu ft, it is a large freezer for the class, which runs 1.1 to 23 cu ft; size and efficiency are the two levers behind the figure above, and this dataset does not carry a separate efficiency-factor column for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GB at $80/yr runs a little cheaper and the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GW at $80/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A freezer typically stays in service for somewhere around 14 years; over that span, the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS's $80/yr adds up to roughly $1120 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Avanti AV160VFK0W.
By the numbers
The Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS normalized against its whole class, so each figure means something.
What it costs you over time
Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $80/yr, here is what the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS costs about $800. That is roughly $90 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $890 over the same ten years.
How the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $80/yr, it runs about $5 a year above the class median of $75, and it is about $55 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $89/yr, the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS uses 10% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 16.4 cu ft, the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS is a large freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, among freezer models, bigger capacity is the most common reason a running-cost figure lands on the high side, all else being equal.
- Interior volume. Cubic feet of frozen storage is the first lever behind a freezer's running cost, ahead of insulation or defrost type.
- Insulation and defrost type. Two freezers of the same size can differ meaningfully on running cost based on insulation quality and whether they run an automatic-defrost heater.
- Chest vs upright design. Chest freezers open from the top, so cold air, which sinks, stays inside when the lid opens; upright freezers lose more cold air per door opening for a similar capacity.
Common questions
Is the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS cheap to run?
It is about average. At $80 a year it ranks #337 of 622 freezer models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.
How much does the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS cost per month?
Roughly $6.64/mo, spreading the $80/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
We take the model's published annual energy use of 429 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $80 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Commercial Cool CCUC1640GS for its size?
73rd percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
