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.
Gas dryers, such as propane, dry clothes more efficiently, and they are less expensive to operate than electric dryers. 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.
