Model
Homcom 800-195V80WT
Rank #60 means 59 of the 622 freezer models we track cost less to run each year; the 11th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 11% of those models.
What does the Homcom 800-195V80WT cost to run per year?
Rank #60 of 622 puts the Homcom 800-195V80WT among the cheapest freezer models we track to keep running, at roughly $42 a year. It uses 17% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $50/yr to run, a saving of roughly $8 a year. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 11 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 3 cu ft (the class spans 1.1 to 23), size is the clearest lever we can point to for this model's running cost.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Frigidaire FFCS0762AW at $42/yr runs a little cheaper and the L2 LRC07M2AWWC 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 Homcom 800-195V80WT's $42/yr adds up to roughly $588 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Homcom 800-195V80WT 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 Homcom 800-195V80WT adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Homcom 800-195V80WT costs about $420. That is roughly $80 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $500 over the same ten years.
How the Homcom 800-195V80WT 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 $50/yr, the Homcom 800-195V80WT uses 17% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 3 cu ft, the Homcom 800-195V80WT is a small freezer for its class, which spans 1.1 to 23 cu ft with a median of 13.8 cu ft, less capacity to service is usually the first reason a running-cost figure lands on the low side, before efficiency even enters the picture.
- Interior volume. As with refrigerators, more cubic feet of frozen storage generally means a bigger compressor and a higher annual energy figure.
- Insulation and defrost type. Better-insulated cabinets lose less cold to the surrounding room, and frost-free (automatic-defrost) freezers run a periodic heating element that a manual-defrost model does not.
- Chest vs upright design. Door orientation affects how much cold air escapes per opening: top-opening chest designs generally hold cold better than front-opening upright ones.
Common questions
Is the Homcom 800-195V80WT cheap to run?
Yes. Its $42/yr running cost puts it at rank #60 of 622, below what most freezer models we track cost to run.
How much does the Homcom 800-195V80WT cost per month?
About $3.48 a month, which is the $42 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: 225 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $42 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Homcom 800-195V80WT for its size?
11th 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.
