Model
Frigidaire FFCS0762AW
Rank #59 means 58 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 48th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 48% of those models.
What does the Frigidaire FFCS0762AW cost to run per year?
The Frigidaire FFCS0762AW costs about $42 a year to run and sits near the top of the cheapest-to-run leaderboard, rank #59 of 622. It uses 11% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $47/yr to run, a saving of roughly $5 a year. Once capacity is factored in, its efficiency percentile of 48 is fairly typical for the class, neither a standout nor a laggard. At 7.1 cu ft, it is a small 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 Frigidaire EFRF7009-WHITE at $42/yr runs a little cheaper and the Homcom 800-195V80WT at $42/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 FFCS0762AW's $42/yr adds up to roughly $588 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Frigidaire FFCS0762AW 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 $42/yr, here is what the Frigidaire FFCS0762AW 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 FFCS0762AW costs about $420. That is roughly $50 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $470 over the same ten years.
How the Frigidaire FFCS0762AW compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $42/yr, it runs about $33 a year cheaper than the class median of $75, and it is about $17 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $47/yr, the Frigidaire FFCS0762AW uses 11% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 7.1 cu ft, the Frigidaire FFCS0762AW is a small freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, and smaller freezer models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal.
- 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 FFCS0762AW cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $42 a year it ranks #59 of 622 freezer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Frigidaire FFCS0762AW cost per month?
Roughly $3.48/mo, spreading the $42/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 225 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $42 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Frigidaire FFCS0762AW for its size?
48th 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.
