Within the Blomberg lineup

The Blomberg BRUF2814WH is the only freezer from Blomberg that ENERGY STAR currently certifies, so there's no same-brand model to weigh it against here, only the full freezer category.

Lifespan

NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for freezers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.

Is it worth replacing?

The Blomberg BRUF2814WH is already efficient for its category at $57/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new freezer costs to run.

Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.

Protecting what you have

A freezer like the Blomberg BRUF2814WH is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
