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.
Shopping for a new one
Running above the category average, $85/year is exactly the kind of number that makes a newer, more efficient model pay for itself faster.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
The HALLMAN HRBIAF18PR already costs $85/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
Where this number comes from
Ranked 447 of 658, the HALLMAN HRBIAF18PR sits in the middle of the freezer category, see the guide to why your state changes this number for the other half of the math. The 452 kWh/yr figure is ENERGY STAR's own certification, not a wattage estimate; exact dataset IDs are on the data sources page.
