Is it worth replacing?

Protecting what you have
At $83/year just to run, a freezer is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
The data behind this page
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 443 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.
