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

The L2 LRC07M2AWWC is already efficient for its category at $42/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 L2 LRC07M2AWWC 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.

Sourcing

Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 225 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.
