Save time and money: A natural gas dryer heats up faster than an electric one.
Dry two loads for the price of one: you can dry two loads of laundry with a gas dryer for about the same cost as drying one load with an electric dryer.
Reliability: With fewer moving parts than an electric dryer, natural gas dryers are less likely to break down, and they last an average of 12 years.
Your Clothes Benefit too! Faster heat-up and shorter drying times mean it's gentler on fabrics, so your clothing lasts longer. Better temperature control means fewer wrinkles. And, moisture sensors in gas dryers prevent over-drying of fabrics (virtually eliminates static cling).
Get the best value with your gas dryer by following these helpful tips:
Use the fast-spin cycle on your washer to remove as much water as possible from laundry before loading the dryer.
Clean out your dryer's lint filter after every load. This will improve air circulation and save energy.
Use your dryer's cool-down cycle. This saves energy by using the residual heat in the dryer to finish drying the clothes.
Dry full, but not oversized loads. This is more energy-efficient than drying smaller loads or overloading the machine. Air needs to circulate through the laundry freely.
Be sure to inspect your dryer vent periodically to ensure it is not blocked. This will save drying time and energy.
