You can dry a washerload of clothes for about a
                        dollar. Since gas and electricity prices vary
                               widely from one part of the country to
                               another, your actual cost could be as little
                               as sixty cents or as much as two dollars.
                            Let’s say you dry four loads per week.
                            On average, that would be about $200 a year.
                            No big deal, right?

But wait! That’s only half the story.

In order to dry your clothes, your dryer needs to take 200 cubic feet of air from your house – every minute. Over ninety minutes of drying time, that’s an astounding 18,000 cubic feet of air, or all the air in the average house.

But air’s free, right? Not if you’re paying to heat and cool it. Every minute in the winter, your dryer is taking 200 cubic feet of air that you paid to heat, and and sending it back outside again. In the summer, it’s doing the same thing with the air you

paid to cool. This means that every minute your dryer is running, your house needs to take in another 200 cubic feet of air to be heated or cooled. And you know what heating and air conditioning costs.

This is why we say it costs several hundred dollars a year to operate your dryer. In the past, when energy was cheap, we didn’t care what it cost to operate our dryers. The clothes dryer was an inexpensive convenience. At today’s sky high energy prices, the dryer has suddenly become an unnecessary luxury. And energy prices are increasing, with no end in sight.
