Depends on how old it is. Mine's a 1995 model. I've measured its energy usage and a new fridge would pay for itself at around 9-10 years if I bought a basic model*. That's around the lifespan I'd expect from a new fridge. So I'll just keep using the old one until it dies.
(*) Current fridge is a basic, low end model, so assuming I replace with a similar basic, lower end model. Payback would be much longer if I upgraded.
Have you priced in cost of keeping your old one?
And what, have twice the fridge space for slightly less than twice the energy cost?
Back in my day 1995 wasn’t old.
