My house was built with a 100 amp panel and Gas Hot water heater, Bas Stove, gas Heat... It had a plug for a electric outlet for a dryer, and a gas line stub out in the garage that I had extended to the laundry room on the other side of the wall. When we had to replace our washer . We looked at getting an electric dryer to be more PC to sell our house, but they were on backorder and the gas dryer was available.
Have a house with a 100 amp too, am considering replacing to a 200 amp, as our dryer is electric. We also will probably need more amps with 5 people living there. Did you every look at upgrading the panel?
As a person that owns a Samsung dryer, which is 6 years old at this point. The repair costs are prohibitively expensive. To give you an idea, a replacement lint catcher is $69. It probably costs about a $1.50 in plastic parts. The dryer was $621 plus tax. Imagine spending 10% of the cost of the entire unit on a cheap plastic lint remover for $69. They almost make it impossible to fix, economically speaking, they want u to buy a new one.
Your video was extremely helpful. I am in the market for a dryer and I don’t have gas and I don’t have a 220 on my wall and you covered just about every question that I had and moving forward now I am going to need to ask myself in which direction am I going to go since it’s going to cost me money now to run 8 to 20 installed or what would it take to get a gas line for the dryer so thank you thank you very much for your video
I'll probably get a gas dryer when I get my own house, since they're more energy efficient, and they take up less time to dry the clothes, also since I want to be an HVAC technician someday, so I will be experienced with gas furnaces, which means I won't need to hire any professional to install it.
Just take the extra time to dry clothes electrically, or passively! (There are 90-dollar hanging electric dryers that are super efficient, take 4 hours to run so they're good for overnight). Gas is only efficient for fast drying
@@rxallan20 There is such a thing as grid tie, you could look that up. Also, while batteries are still expensive (like solar panels were 15-20 years ago), the prices are dropping rapidly.

I don't have 220 but a small gas tank could be an opción maybe
Can I store up methane gas from my toilet to power my dryer ?
Thank you so much very helpful
if you watch first section of the Pros you are done with the video, the Cons is basically saying the inverse.
Good video!
Miele(28may 2022) power coonsumption is less than one kilowatt.
Then it's probably a heat pump dryer? I have one of those (a Samsung). It works well but is slow.
@SolarWebsite Yes, heat pump. Although not quickly, but economically and carefully.

I agree with you on the energy efficiency & takes less time to dry clothes but I’m scare to get it installed

It’s useful
pg&e goes crazy to expensive$$$
Electricity is cheaper when you have solar panels.
That's a good point to keep in mind for sure, thanks for sharing!
But you can only run the dryer when the sun is up unless you have a battery. Solar and battery cost $40,000 to install.

You don't need a professional to install a gas dryer. 🙄
No you do not. But we recommend having someone do it that has experience so that there is not a chance of any type of gas leak. Thanks for watching.
