Model
Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB
Rank #685 means 684 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 75th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 75% of those models.
What does the Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB cost to run per year?
At about $84 a year, the Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB costs more to run than most refrigerator models we track, rank #685 of 1,000. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $91/yr to run, a saving of roughly $7 a year. Capacity-normalized, it ranks ahead of 75% of refrigerator models we track, a reasonably strong result for the class. This class has no published efficiency-factor figure beyond annual kWh itself, so at 18.2 cu ft (the class spans 1.2 to 31.7), size is the clearest lever we can point to for this model's running cost.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Hisense RB17N6D*E at $84/yr runs a little cheaper and the Ellipse ERQE165S2 at $84/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A refrigerator typically stays in service for somewhere around 12 years; over that span, the Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB's $84/yr adds up to roughly $1008 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB 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 $84/yr, here is what the Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB 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 CCR1800GIMB costs about $840. That is roughly $70 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $910 over the same ten years.
How the Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $84/yr, it runs about $20 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $76 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $91/yr, the Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB uses 10% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 18.2 cu ft, the Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB is a large refrigerator for its class, which spans 1.2 to 31.7 cu ft with a median of 12.6 cu ft, and larger refrigerator models generally cost more to run than smaller ones in the same class, simply because there is more to keep cold, spin, heat, or light.
- Interior volume. More cubic feet of cold air to maintain generally means a bigger compressor and a higher running-cost figure, even among efficient models.
- Counter depth vs standard depth. Standard-depth models generally offer more interior volume per unit of width than counter-depth models, a tradeoff between built-in looks and cubic feet.
- Compressor technology. How a compressor cycles, full on/off versus a variable-speed inverter design, is one of the biggest hidden differences behind two fridges with similar cubic feet but different running costs.
- Placement and ventilation. Ventilation clearance around the back and top matters more than most owners expect; a fridge starved of airflow runs its compressor longer to hold the same temperature.
Common questions
Is the Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB cheap to run?
Its $84/yr running cost, rank #685 of 1,000, is above what most refrigerator models we track cost to run, so this is not one of the cheaper picks on electricity alone.
How much does the Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB cost per month?
About $6.98 a month, which is the $84 annual estimate spread across twelve months at the US average rate of $0.1856/kWh. Your own bill scales with your local electricity rate and how heavily you use it.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
The formula is annual kWh times price per kWh: 451 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $84 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Commercial Cool CCR1800GIMB for its size?
75th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is a real factor in the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
