I have both a refrigerator and a freezer in my garage - no problems noted in over five years of operation. One time the GFI reset during an electrical storm and yes, both (all the garage in fact) is on a GFI circuit(s) so you do need to watch that - not that either appliance caused a problem. I would think $26/yr is very conservative but with rate changes and all the other variables, I would also think it would be next to impossible to track the annual cost of any appliance.
