Among Marvel's 5 certified freezers, this is the priciest to run, about the same, within a dollar a year, over the MLFZ24-IS1A, the brand's cheapest.
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 Marvel MPFZ24-SS1A is already efficient for its category at $69/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
The Marvel MPFZ24-SS1A already costs $69/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
Sourcing
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. At rank 205 of 658 for running cost, see the freezer category page for the rest of the field, or the guide to how much your state matters.
