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
Running above the category average, $122/year is exactly the kind of number that makes a newer, more efficient model pay for itself faster.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
Whether or not the Monogram ZIF361NBR ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a freezer, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
The data behind this page
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 649 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The Monogram ZIF361NBR is among the most expensive freezers tracked here to run, see the full Freezer category page for cheaper alternatives. Part of that cost gap is the electricity rate, not the appliance, which the guide to why your state changes this number explains.
