How much does it cost to run a freezer in Utah?
$56/yr · median certified model
Utah's 13.4¢/kWh rate undercuts the national average by 27%, so the typical certified freezer costs roughly $56 a year here instead of $77.
Out of all 50 states plus D.C., Utah is the #3 cheapest place to run a freezer.
