Gas vs. Electric Dryer: Make the Right Choice for Your Home
When it comes to dryers, there are two main types: gas and electric. At Mr. Appliance® of the Front Range, we offer services for both.
Here are the key differences you should know:
- Electric dryers have a lower upfront cost but may result in slightly higher energy expenses, depending on your area's rates. Installation is easier, and they tend to produce fewer emissions over time as renewable energy sources replace coal and natural gas.
- Gas dryers run on natural gas or propane and have a higher initial cost. However, they prove to be more economical in the long run (after approximately five years). Keep in mind that they emit more greenhouse gases and pose a carbon monoxide risk.

Frequently Asked Questions about Electric Dryers
Why won't my electric dryer start?
There are a few potential causes: first, check if the circuit breaker has tripped or if the machine is unplugged. Additionally, a broken start switch or a faulty thermostat could be preventing your dryer from starting.
What should I do if my electric dryer isn't heating?
This could indicate issues with the fuse, temperature switch, thermostat, or heating coil. For proper repair, trust Mr. Appliance® of the Front Range to handle it professionally.
What might be causing the drum of my electric dryer not to turn?
If the motor is running but the drum isn't spinning, it's likely due to a broken belt. However, it could also be caused by a malfunctioning roller, motor, or idler pulley.
Do electric dryers require ventilation?
Most electric dryers need venting to expel warm air and lint. They typically vent outdoors. However, there are "ventless" electric dryers that use hot air vacuum technology to dry clothes without an outdoor vent.
How can I determine if my dryer is gas or electric?
If your dryer has only one cord connected - a heavy-duty plug into a 220V outlet - it's an electric dryer. If you also have a thin connector (usually stainless steel) in addition to the electric wire, it's a gas dryer.
