What does the Kenmore 263.7547962# cost to run per year?

At $80 a year to run, the Kenmore 263.7547962# runs more expensively than most models in its class, ranking #658 of 1,000 refrigerator models we track. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $89/yr to run, a saving of roughly $9 a year. Its 55th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is unremarkable, close to what a typical model in the class scores. At 15.1 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 Fulgor Milano, Vitara, Forte FM4BM28FBI at $80/yr runs a little cheaper and the Summit FFBF153B at $80/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 Kenmore 263.7547962#'s $80/yr adds up to roughly $960 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

What it costs you over time

Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $80/yr, here is what the Kenmore 263.7547962# adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.

1 year$80
5 years$400
10 years$800

Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Kenmore 263.7547962# costs about $800. That is roughly $90 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $890 over the same ten years.

How the Kenmore 263.7547962# compares

The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $80/yr, it runs about $16 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $72 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $89/yr, the Kenmore 263.7547962# uses 10% less energy.

What drives its running cost

At 15.1 cu ft, the Kenmore 263.7547962# 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 Kenmore 263.7547962# cheap to run?

Not especially. At $80 a year it ranks #658 of 1,000 refrigerator models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.

How much does the Kenmore 263.7547962# cost per month?

Roughly $6.64/mo, spreading the $80/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 429 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $80 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.

How efficient is the Kenmore 263.7547962# for its size?

55th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is a real factor in the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
