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 UF3651 is already efficient for its category at $29/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
$29/year to run is the predictable cost of the Liebherr UF3651; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
Sourcing
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 155 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The Liebherr UF3651 is among the cheapest 658 freezers tracked here to run, see the full Freezer category page for the rest of the range. Being near the top of the category still doesn't answer whether replacing an older model is worth it, which the guide to when replacing one actually pays off does.
