Model
Lg LRFLC2706*
Rank #892 means 891 of the 1,000 refrigerator models we track cost less to run each year; the 79th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 79% of those models.
What does the Lg LRFLC2706* cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Lg LRFLC2706*'s $117/yr puts it at rank #892 of 1,000, one of the costlier refrigerator models we track to keep running. It uses 10% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $129/yr to run, a saving of roughly $12 a year. Adjusted for size, it is more efficient than 79% of refrigerator models we track, a solidly above-average result. Its listing marks it counter-depth, meaning it sits nearly flush with surrounding cabinets rather than protruding a few extra inches like a standard-depth model; that shallower body usually means less interior volume for the same footprint.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Lg LF27BCH54* at $117/yr runs a little cheaper and the Ge GNE27JGM**** at $117/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 Lg LRFLC2706*'s $117/yr adds up to roughly $1404 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Lg LF27BCH54*.
By the numbers
The Lg LRFLC2706* 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 $117/yr, here is what the Lg LRFLC2706* adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Lg LRFLC2706* costs about $1170. That is roughly $120 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $1290 over the same ten years.
How the Lg LRFLC2706* compares
The refrigerator class we track runs from $8 to $149 a year. At $117/yr, it runs about $53 a year above the class median of $64, and it is about $109 a year more than the cheapest refrigerator to run at $8. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $129/yr, the Lg LRFLC2706* uses 10% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 26.5 cu ft, the Lg LRFLC2706* is a large refrigerator for its class, which spans 1.2 to 31.7 cu ft with a median of 12.6 cu ft, among refrigerator models, bigger capacity is the most common reason a running-cost figure lands on the high side, all else being equal.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Lg LRFLC2706* cheap to run?
Not especially. At $117 a year it ranks #892 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 Lg LRFLC2706* cost per month?
Roughly $9.77/mo, spreading the $117/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 632 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $117 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Lg LRFLC2706* for its size?
79th 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.
