A refrigerator's energy rating is based on how much energy the appliance consumes throughout the day, but it also considers the total energy consumption per year. This is because if you run the fridge for a long duration, it will use more energy than it would within a short time. This is the reason it's crucial to look up the energy label when purchasing a new appliance.
