Refrigerator electricity usage

What is electricity consumption of average/common refrigerator?

One of the most popular appliances in a home, a refrigerator keeps food fresh by keeping it cold. Most refrigerators also have a built-in freezer compartment for freezing food. Compared to earlier versions from a few decades ago, modern refrigerators use a lot less energy. Depending on size, a refrigerator may use anywhere from 100 to 400 watts; a big refrigerator uses roughly 180 watts yearly or 1575 kWh.

Compressor cycles and other variables that might significantly raise or reduce power use are not taken into consideration by this calculator. If you enter the rated wattage, the result will be much exaggerated, thus you must know the typical running wattage of your refrigerator to receive an accurate result. Finding the daily or yearly kWh rating and using it as the starting point for your computation is one technique to calculate the actual operating wattage. The average wattage (taking into consideration all parameters) is around 100 watts, for instance, if the annual kWh rating is 875 kWh, which when divided by 365 days gives you roughly 2.4 kWh every day.

Kilowatts per dayhelp Here you will see a value for how much energy (in watts, kilowatts or megawatts) the device will consume per day if it is used for the time you specify. The formula "Hours used per day" × "Power use" is used.:

Watts Kilowatts Megawatts

Hours Used Per Day: Indicate the average number of hours per day that the device is used. If the daily power usage is less than one hour, enter the number as a decimal (for instance, 30 minutes a day equals 0.5).

Power Use (Watts): Type in the watts that represent the device's typical power use.

Price (kWh): Enter the price per kilowatt hour you pay typically; our calculators use a default value of 0.10 (10 cents). Check your power bill for the precise cost.

It is strongly advised that you replace your outdated refrigerator with a more energy-efficient current one because refrigeration technology has improved over the previous 15 to 20 years. Purchasing a new refrigerator might not provide you with a noticeable improvement if your current one was bought within the previous ten years.
