Model
Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX**
Rank #572 means 571 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 31st efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 31% of those models.
What does the Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX** cost to run per year?
Not many freezer models we track cost more to run than the Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX**: about $97 a year, rank #572 of 622. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $106/yr to run, a saving of roughly $9 a year. Normalized for capacity, it beats only 31% of freezer models we track, a below-average efficiency 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 Jenn-Air ALOVE24FLC0* at $97/yr runs a little cheaper and the Gaggenau RF491705 at $98/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 Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX**'s $97/yr adds up to roughly $1358 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX** 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 $97/yr, here is what the Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX** costs about $970. That is roughly $90 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $1060 over the same ten years.
How the Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX** compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $97/yr, it runs about $22 a year above the class median of $75, and it is about $72 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $106/yr, the Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX** uses 10% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 13 cu ft, the Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX** is a mid-size freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, neither the size advantage of a small unit nor the size penalty of a large one applies here, so its running cost is a fairer test of efficiency alone.
- 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 Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX** cheap to run?
Not especially. At $97 a year it ranks #572 of 622 freezer models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX** cost per month?
Roughly $8.09/mo, spreading the $97/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 523 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $97 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Jenn-Air JBZF*24IGX** for its size?
31st percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
