Model
Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R
Rank #423 means 422 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 94th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 94% of those models.
What does the Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R cost to run per year?
The Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R costs about $59 a year to run, a middle-of-the-pack figure at rank #423 of 1,000. It uses 12% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $68/yr to run, a saving of roughly $9 a year. Once capacity is factored in, it outperforms 94% of the refrigerator models we track on efficiency, not just on headline running cost. At 16.9 cu ft, it is a mid-size refrigerator for the class, which runs 1.2 to 31.7 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 Upstreman BD311-White at $59/yr runs a little cheaper and the Vissani VSR31MS1E01 at $59/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 Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R's $59/yr adds up to roughly $708 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Fhiaba S300FR3DU.
By the numbers
The Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R 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 $59/yr, here is what the Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R costs about $590. That is roughly $90 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $680 over the same ten years.
How the Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $59/yr, it runs about $5 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $51 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $68/yr, the Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R uses 12% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 16.9 cu ft, the Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R is a mid-size refrigerator for its class, which spans 1.2 to 31.7 cu ft with a median of 12.6 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 interior volume is the first thing that scales a fridge's running cost up or down, before compressor quality even enters the picture.
- Counter depth vs standard depth. Counter-depth models sit flush with cabinets but usually hold less interior volume than a standard-depth model of the same width, which can nudge the per-cubic-foot running cost either way.
- Compressor technology. Newer variable-speed (inverter) compressors modulate output instead of cycling fully on and off, which tends to use less energy for the same cooling job than an older fixed-speed compressor.
- Placement and ventilation. A fridge pushed tight against a wall or cabinet, or standing next to an oven or in direct sun, works harder to shed the heat its compressor produces, which can push real-world cost above the published figure.
Common questions
Is the Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R cheap to run?
It is about average. At $59 a year it ranks #423 of 1,000 refrigerator models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.
How much does the Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R cost per month?
Roughly $4.95/mo, spreading the $59/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 320 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $59 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Viking Range,Llc FDREIC7300R for its size?
94th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
