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 Honeywell H11MFW is already efficient for its category at $40/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
Whether or not the Honeywell H11MFW ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a freezer, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
