How Much Electricity Does My Refrigerator Use?

Kill-A-Watt Energy Usage MonitorTo trim our electric bill, I considered taking our second refrigerator out of service. I was curious as to how much that would save us per month, so I plugged my handy Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor and plugged the refrigerator into the monitor to find out.

(The refrigerator is a 21 cubic foot, freezer on top, Frigidaire, model #: FRT21NNC.)

The answer? By unplugging our second refrigerator, we would stand to saveĀ a disappointing $66 a year. We would only be saving $5.50 per month by unplugging it. Next, I’ll test our side-by-side model, which we open and close much more frequently.
