Model
Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**#
Rank #202 means 201 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 36th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 36% of those models.
What does the Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**#'s $70/yr puts it at rank #202 of 622, on the cheaper side of the class. It uses 30% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $98/yr to run, a saving of roughly $28 a year. Adjusted for size, it is only more efficient than 36% of freezer models we track, so part of its running cost comes from its capacity rather than efficiency alone. At 10.7 cu ft, it is a mid-size 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 Sub-Zero ID-24FI at $70/yr runs a little cheaper and the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV at $71/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 Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**#'s $70/yr adds up to roughly $980 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# 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 $70/yr, here is what the Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# costs about $700. That is roughly $280 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $980 over the same ten years.
How the Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $70/yr, it runs about $5 a year cheaper than the class median of $75, and it is about $45 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $98/yr, the Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# uses 30% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 10.7 cu ft, the Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# is a mid-size freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, putting it squarely in the middle of the class on the size lever that drives most of the cost.
- 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 Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $70 a year it ranks #202 of 622 freezer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# cost per month?
Roughly $5.86/mo, spreading the $70/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 379 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $70 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# for its size?
36th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
