Comparing Fisher & Paykel's own models

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 Fisher & Paykel RS24F runs above its category average. If the freezer you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $83/year every year.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified freezers before buying.
Protecting what you have
At $83/year just to run, a freezer is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
