How much does it cost to run the dryer?

Question

A tumber dryer for 1 hour. This is a older standard sized dryer (not energy star etc).

Answer 1

I agree with Becky. I moved into a new house 5 years ago and promptly gave away the dryer.. I have never owned a dryer and have learned never to miss one.. It is a very good idea to find alternative ways to dry clothes. Anything that heats or cools generally consumes alot of energy.. We better start figuring out ways to reduce because the time is now.

good luck

Answer 2

I wouldn't think more than a few dollars.  I have, however, gone to hanging out my clothes on a line and my bill dropped by $60.00 a month.  I use dryer only to soften up jeans and towels after they're almost dry.  I think it's a good way to "go green".
