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?
Running above the category average, $118/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 HRBIAF36PR already costs $118/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
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 630 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Freezer category page shows all 658 freezers ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
