Model
Conserv FR2000BREV
Rank #390 means 389 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 98th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 98% of those models.
What does the Conserv FR2000BREV cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Conserv FR2000BREV's $57/yr puts it at rank #390 of 1,000, on the cheaper side of the class. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $64/yr to run, a saving of roughly $7 a year. Adjusted for its size, it is more efficient than 98% of refrigerator models we track, one of the strongest results in the whole class. At 20.2 cu ft, it is a large 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 Frigidaire FFUV2126AW at $57/yr runs a little cheaper and the Frigidaire FRAE2024A* at $57/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 Conserv FR2000BREV's $57/yr adds up to roughly $684 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Conserv FR2000BREV 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 $57/yr, here is what the Conserv FR2000BREV adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Conserv FR2000BREV costs about $570. That is roughly $70 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $640 over the same ten years.
How the Conserv FR2000BREV compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $57/yr, it runs about $7 a year cheaper than the class median of $64, and it is about $49 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $64/yr, the Conserv FR2000BREV uses 10% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 20.2 cu ft, the Conserv FR2000BREV is a large refrigerator for its class, which spans 1.2 to 31.7 cu ft with a median of 12.6 cu ft, size is usually the single biggest lever behind a running-cost figure, and at this end of the range there is more capacity to service, which tends to push the number up.
- 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 Conserv FR2000BREV cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $57 a year it ranks #390 of 1,000 refrigerator models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Conserv FR2000BREV cost per month?
Roughly $4.76/mo, spreading the $57/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 308 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $57 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Conserv FR2000BREV for its size?
98th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
