Comparing Thermador's own models

Thermador makes 15 ENERGY STAR certified freezers; this one ranks 12 of 15 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the T18IF905SP at $76/yr, and its priciest, the T36IF900SP at $102/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.

Is it worth replacing?

The Thermador T30IF905SP 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 $90/year every year.

Compare current ENERGY STAR certified freezers before buying.

Protecting what you have

$90/year to run is the predictable cost of the Thermador T30IF905SP; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
