The primary distinction between gas and electric dryers lies in how they generate heat. While all dryers utilize a rotating drum to agitate wet clothes through warm air for moisture evaporation, gas dryers use natural gas or propane for heat generation, whereas electric dryers rely on electricity.
Electric dryers have lower initial costs, but customers typically recover the upfront investment in a gas dryer after approximately five years. Gas dryers are more efficient and cost-effective over time because they heat up and dry clothes faster. Gas dryers necessitate a specialized gas connection, while both types require proper venting. However, compared to electric models, gas dryers emit more carbon emissions and pose a carbon monoxide hazard.
