Gas vs. Electric Dryer: Choose the Right Fuel Type
The best choice for your home usually depends on your available utility lines and your long-term energy goals.
Gas Dryers
If your laundry room has a gas line, gas laundry dryers are a powerful option for heavy-duty use. They heat up almost instantly, resulting in shorter cycle times and less wear on your fabrics.
Electric Dryers
Our electric clothes dryers for sale offer "plug-and-play" convenience, requiring only a standard 240-volt outlet. This makes an electric dryer much simpler to install in most modern homes and apartments.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dryers
Are gas dryers safe?
Yes, gas dryers are very safe when installed by a professional. They feature automatic shut-off valves and safety sensors. The most important requirement is ensuring the unit is properly vented to the outdoors to safely exhaust combustion byproducts.
Why is my dryer not getting hot?
The most common cause is restricted airflow due to a clogged lint screen or exterior vent. For an electric dryer, it could also be a tripped circuit breaker. If those are clear, it may be a failed thermal fuse or igniter. If you bought your unit from us, you can schedule a repair with our factory-certified service team to get your appliance back in working order.
Are gas dryers better than electric?
What’s considered “better” depends on your needs. Gas dryers heat up faster, which is great for large families running back-to-back loads. However, electric clothes dryers for sale are often easier to install and offer more versatility in homes without existing gas lines.
Do electric dryers need to be vented?
Most standard electric models require an external vent to remove moisture. However, if you lack vent access, we carry ventless heat-pump dryers that are perfect for apartments or interior closets.
Which is cheaper, a gas or electric dryer?
The purchase price for both types is now very similar. While an electric dryer might have a lower upfront cost in some cases, gas models can often be cheaper to operate month-to-month, depending on local utility rates in Washington.
