To estimate your electric bill increase for a 3.5 cubic foot chest freezer: Typical Energy Usage: A 3.5 cubic foot chest freezer typically uses about 200-250 kWh per year, which is quite efficient since chest freezers are well-insulated. Cost Estimates: Using the average Los Angeles electricity rate of approximately $0.28-0.30 per kWh: Monthly cost: $5-6 per month Daily cost: ~$0.16-0.20 per day Annual cost: $56-75 per year Factors that affect your actual cost: Your specific electricity rate (check your bill - rates in LA can vary) How often you open it (more openings = more work to cool down) Ambient temperature (warmer garage/room = higher usage) How full you keep it (fuller is actually more efficient) Energy Star rating (newer models are more efficient) To calculate precisely: Look for the yellow EnergyGuide label on the freezer - it shows estimated yearly kWh usage. Multiply that by your electricity rate (found on your utility bill).
