Model
Frigidaire FFUE1326AV
Rank #203 means 202 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 53rd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 53% of those models.
What does the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV's $71/yr puts it at rank #203 of 622, on the cheaper side of the class. It uses 11% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $79/yr to run, a saving of roughly $8 a year. Adjusted for size, it is more efficient than 53% of freezer models we track, a middling result. At 13 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 Fisher & Paykel RS2474F3**# at $70/yr runs a little cheaper and the Frigidaire FFUE1326AW 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 Frigidaire FFUE1326AV's $71/yr adds up to roughly $994 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Frigidaire FFUE1326AV 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 $71/yr, here is what the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV costs about $710. That is roughly $80 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $790 over the same ten years.
How the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $71/yr, it runs about $4 a year cheaper than the class median of $75, and it is about $46 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $79/yr, the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV uses 11% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 13 cu ft, the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV is a mid-size freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, right in the middle of the capacity range, so capacity is roughly a wash compared with the rest of the class.
- 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 Frigidaire FFUE1326AV cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $71 a year it ranks #203 of 622 freezer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV cost per month?
Roughly $5.88/mo, spreading the $71/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 380 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $71 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Frigidaire FFUE1326AV for its size?
53rd percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
