minus-squareDrekaridill@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 days agoA kilowatt-hour is about 10 US cents where I live and a new fridge of a similar size is about $800
minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 days agoA 40 years old fridge can easily average 200W more than a new one. Depends on the details of how well it’s conserved and how good it was to begin with. That would be some $15 a month more. You always have to evaluate those things.
