How much does it cost to run a freezer in Hawaii?

$220/yr · median certified model

Hawaii is the extreme case for U.S. electricity costs: 52.7¢/kWh, roughly 2.9× the national average. The median certified freezer costs about $220 a year here — the same appliance would cost $77 at national-average rates. In this rate environment, the gap between an efficient and an inefficient freezer is often larger than the appliance's purchase-price difference over its lifetime.

Hawaii sits at rank 51 of 51 — near the very top of the cost table for a freezer. Model choice matters as much as geography: at Hawaii rates the most efficient certified model (Avanti CF24Q0W) costs $72 a year while the most power-hungry (Monogram ZIF361NBR) costs $342 — a spread of $270 every year. For reference, the national extremes are Nevada (13.1¢/kWh) and Hawaii (52.7¢/kWh); the same median freezer would cost $55 and $220 a year there.
