For the smallest installations it's more expensive :
. all time = 0,1325 €/kWh = 0.2074 $/kWh

Is that a common thing in france?
To change the fridge to save money : I don't think so.
The fridge cost 800€ with 5 years warranty and I'll save 50€/year. It should be changed before being 16 years old.

But when people have to change their fridge then they buy one that consume less. My old one was 11 years old and was consuming 650kWh/year. The new one should consume less than 150kWh/year.

Since a few years all the fridges must have a sticker with its consumption. A graphical diagram must show the fridge comparatively to predefined categories. During last years two new categories were added for more efficient systems :-)

Since a couple years, the same is for new cars with their consumptions and CO2 emissions :-)
