A dryer is one of the least energy efficient appliances in a home and can easily account for 10% or more of energy usage. However, the concern over its cost is often somewhat exaggerated, as neither electric nor gas dryers cost more than $100 to $150 a year to operate â depending on local electricity and gas prices. This makes the appliance much cheaper to run than, for example, an electric water heater or refrigerator.
- The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 20 cents in a gas dryer. - Most gas dryers use only 110 electric current to run the drum to circulate the clothes, rather than the 220 electric. current that electric clothes dryers use. -------------------. The U.S. Department of Energy states it costs half as much to run a gas/propane dryer than electric.
