What this calculator does not tell you

It counts electricity only. Purchase price, repair costs, delivery, and whether your current electric cooking product still works well are separate parts of the decision.
The ENERGY STAR figure for a new model is a standardized value. Your own use will differ with how the appliance is used and where it stands.
Your old figure may be a guess. If you can, measure it.

Typical numbers for each type and state are on the cost to run a electric cooking product by state page. Browse all electric ranges and cooktops.
