Just about every frig is Energy Star rated these days. The latest energy efficient rating uses "Tiers" with Tier lll being the best.
HD has a normal size frig (19 cu. ft.) Tier lll frig for around $800.

A lot depends on how sure you are that your stay on the Big Island will be a long one. Your old one is paid off like you said, but its probably going to be burning through a lot of electricity compared to a Tier lll type. On the other hand $800 is a lot of money and you'll probably want to buy the extending warranty with the humid climate here. So with tax you might be looking at almost $1000.
