Frequently Asked

Brewster has a historical FIS urgency score of 65/100. The city score adds rate urgency (2–40 points from the selected utility electricity rate estimate), climate urgency (5–25 from a climate zone heuristic), an income-tier weight (10–28, or a fixed 15 when unknown), and a historical rebate bonus (0 or 5). Estimated dollar savings are not a score input. The code clamps the sum to 0–100; the current components can reach 98. A state summary averages supported city scores, and a stored bonus does not confirm current rebate eligibility. Higher city scores mean greater modeled upgrade urgency. The stored inputs support this historical score; current household rebate eligibility is not certified. Explore the FIS methodology at Fridge.com.

About the FIS Score

a 0–100 rating of how well every U.S. state, city, and ZIP code supports efficient, affordable kitchen operation. The current city formula measures upgrade urgency: a city scores higher with a higher stored electricity rate, climate adjustment, income-tier weight, or historical rebate bonus. A state summary averages supported city scores; it is not calculated from the state rate. The city formula has four components:

Rate urgency

2–40 points from the selected utility-rate estimate stored for the city. Higher rates add more urgency points; this input is not a city average or a household tariff.

Climate urgency

5–25 points from the stored climate zone, assigned by a state and coordinate heuristic. This is a model adjustment, not measured refrigerator energy use.

Savings impact

An income-tier weight: 28 points for budget, 18 for mid, 10 for premium, or a fixed 15 when the tier is unknown. Despite the component name, estimated dollar savings are not an input to this calculation.

Rebate bonus

A stored 5-point bonus from the utility-rebate availability check used when the score was generated. It does not confirm that a program is currently open or that a household or purchase qualifies.
