Model
Frigidaire FFUE0726AW
Rank #127 means 126 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 26th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 26% of those models.
What does the Frigidaire FFUE0726AW cost to run per year?
The Frigidaire FFUE0726AW is a relatively cheap runner for its class: about $55 a year, rank #127 of 622. It uses 3% more energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $53/yr to run, about $2 a year more. Its 26th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is a step behind the class median, though not among the weakest results. At 7 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 FFUE0725AW at $55/yr runs a little cheaper and the Insignia NS-UZ70SS27 at $55/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 FFUE0726AW's $55/yr adds up to roughly $770 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Frigidaire FFUE0726AW 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 $55/yr, here is what the Frigidaire FFUE0726AW 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 FFUE0726AW costs about $550. That is roughly $20 more than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $530 over the same ten years.
How the Frigidaire FFUE0726AW compares
The freezer class we track runs from $25 to $120 a year. At $55/yr, it runs about $20 a year cheaper than the class median of $75, and it is about $30 a year more than the cheapest freezer to run at $25. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $53/yr, the Frigidaire FFUE0726AW uses 3% more energy.
What drives its running cost
At 7 cu ft, the Frigidaire FFUE0726AW 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 FFUE0726AW cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $55 a year it ranks #127 of 622 freezer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Frigidaire FFUE0726AW cost per month?
Roughly $4.58/mo, spreading the $55/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 296 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $55 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Frigidaire FFUE0726AW for its size?
26th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
