Gas dryers are faster than electric dryers and produce less static clean. Since these dryers are able to dissipate heat quickly, they can also keep clothes from wrinkling. Although a gas dryer can be a big investment upfront, you may actually end up saving money over time.

Investing in a gas dryer can be worth it on several fronts. Since gas dryers use about half the electricity of an electric dryer, they’re substantially cheaper to run. Your dryer could wind up saving you money in the long run, and its excellent performance should also save you time. They’re also better at keeping static cling away and clothes don’t wrinkle as badly when dried in gas dryers.

Although gas dryers primarily rely on a gas to generate heat, they still do require an electric plug in. Gas dryers use electricity to ignite the dryer, turn the drum on and control all the main units of the dryer. For gas dryers a standard 120 volt outlet with a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker that has been properly grounded is suitable for most hookups. Always check with the manufacturer to make sure your home is properly fitted for the type of gas dryer you’re buying.
