Gas Dryer vs. Electric Dryer: What You Need to Know

When it comes to drying your clothes, you have two options: a gas dryer or an electric dryer. Both work by using warm air to evaporate moisture from your wet clothes in a rotating drum. However, there are some important differences to consider.

Let's start with cost and installation. Electric dryers are generally cheaper to buy and easier to install than gas dryers. On the other hand, gas dryers are known for being slightly more efficient and economical in the long run. You could recoup the cost difference between a gas dryer and an electric dryer in approximately five years. Plus, gas dryers tend to dry clothes a bit faster than their electric counterparts.

But it's not just about cost and efficiency. Both gas and electric dryers require proper venting, but gas dryers have additional considerations. They need a special gas hookup and release more carbon emissions, which can have environmental implications. There's also a risk of carbon monoxide exposure with gas dryers. That's why we offer dedicated dryer vent cleaning services to prevent potential fire hazards as a separate, stand-alone service.

At Mr. Appliance® of Urbandale, we provide affordable repair services for both electric dryers and gas dryers. Count on us to keep your laundry routine running smoothly and safely.

Get Your Gas Dryer Working Again with Our Replacement Parts

Is your gas dryer not functioning properly? Don't worry, it's likely just a matter of replacing a part. At Mr. Appliance® of Urbandale, we offer a wide selection of the most common parts required for gas dryer repair.

  • Thermostats: Regulate heat levels within your dryer, ensuring it doesn't get too hot or fail to heat up.
  • Motors: Responsible for rotating the dryer drum and circulating heat. Without a working motor, there will be no warm air for your clothes.
  • Belts: Attach to the motor and help the drum spin. A worn-out belt can prevent your dryer from operating.
  • Idler pulleys: Put tension on the belt, allowing it to grip the drum and tumble. If the pulley is worn out, the drum won't rotate properly.
  • Fuses: Essential safety devices that prevent fires when the dryer overheats. If the fuse blows, your dryer won't start.
  • Timers: Adjust the heat setting during the drying cycle. A faulty timer can cause uneven drying and longer cycles.
  • Heating coils: Heat up the air that enters the electric dryer. Non-functional coils won't properly heat your dryer.
  • Rollers: Support the drum as it turns. Worn-out rollers can cause the drum to move excessively, potentially damaging the unit.
