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).
