Model
Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN
Rank #446 means 445 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 12th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 12% of those models.
What does the Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN cost to run per year?
At about $60 a year, the Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN lands in the middle third of refrigerator models we track on running cost, rank #446 of 1,000. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $67/yr to run, a saving of roughly $7 a year. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 12 means the low running cost, where it exists, is driven almost entirely by capacity rather than efficiency. This class has no published efficiency-factor figure beyond annual kWh itself, so at 4 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 Galanz GLR46TBKER at $60/yr runs a little cheaper and the Kucht KR300TR at $60/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 Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN's $60/yr adds up to roughly $720 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN 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 $60/yr, here is what the Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN costs about $600. That is roughly $70 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $670 over the same ten years.
How the Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $60/yr, it runs about $4 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $52 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $67/yr, the Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN uses 10% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 4 cu ft, the Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN is a small refrigerator for its class, which spans 1.2 to 31.7 cu ft with a median of 12.6 cu ft, at the small end of the class, capacity itself is doing a lot of the work to keep that figure down, separate from how efficient the unit actually is.
- 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 Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN cheap to run?
Roughly, yes. Its $60/yr figure is close to the class median, ranking #446 of 1,000, neither a bargain nor a splurge on running cost.
How much does the Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN cost per month?
About $5.03 a month, which is the $60 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: 325 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $60 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Ikea HS-147RN(NA) LAGAN for its size?
12th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
