If substitute products have been identified and there is a threat of easy switching between a companyâs product and the substitute, then a company can act preemptively and try to bring over customers over to their product.
The âSaving Electricityâ website reports that the average dryer uses 3.3 kilowatt hours of energy and estimates an average of 11 cents per kilowatt hour. A small load of clothes takes about 45 minutes in the dryer, so the cost of that load is $0.36.he dryers in my building just went up to $2.00 for 60 minutes (which doesnât get a large load fully dry). I use drying racks for 3 out of 4 loads, so I save about $12-16 a month. Plus, my clothes retain their shape and colour so much better.
Gas dryers cost about $50 to $150 more than electric models, but cost less to power. In terms of repairs, gas dryers donât include heating elements like electric dryers, but they do have ignition coils that will require replacement throughout the dryerâs lifetime.eating elements, for example, will cost anywhere between $30 and $200. You will also need to account for labor prices, which could cost between $30 and $100 per hour. See what you can do yourself to save some time and money.
