Same brand, different models

Liebherr makes 11 ENERGY STAR certified freezers; this one ranks 9 of 11 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the UF3651 at $29/yr, and its priciest, the MF 3661 at $101/yr.

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.

Weighing a replacement

The Liebherr MF 3061 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 $91/year every year.

Protecting what you have

At $91/year just to run, a freezer is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.

The data behind this page

Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. 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.
