What sits beside it in the ranking
THOR KITCHEN BCD-606WHI ($105/yr, 560 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Thermador T30IB100SP. Samsung RF20A5101 ($105/yr, 560 kWh/yr) costs a little less.

What this adds up to over time
13 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $105/year, the Thermador T30IB100SP adds up to about $1,369 in electricity over that span.
Is it worth replacing?
Running above the category average, $105/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 Thermador T30IB100SP ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a refrigerator, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
Sourcing
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. The full Refrigerator category page shows all 4,704 refrigerators ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
