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 Zephyr PRRFD24C2AS is already efficient for its category at $62/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

A freezer like the Zephyr PRRFD24C2AS is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
