Natural Gas Dryers - Energy Efficient Features
Before you buy your natural gas dryer:
Choose
the most energy efficient dryer you can and ensure it has moisture
sensors that will turn it off when the clothes are dry. A dryer that
runs longer than necessary uses more energy than necessary.
Ensure you are buying the best sized dryer for your home. Too big, too small, they’re both going to be inefficient and more expensive to run.
On laundry day:
There are many ways to make your natural gas dryer more efficient, try
some of the suggestions and enjoy welcome savings on your energy bill:
Separate lightweight easy to dry fabrics from heavyweight hard to dry fabrics so drying times are consistent in the load
Try to avoid overloading the dryer, clothes must be able to tumble freely for the fastest dry times
On the other hand, avoid drying less than full loads.
Dry loads one after another to take advantage of the heat already in the dryer
Don’t add wet items to partially dried loads
Try to keep the door closed on the dryer to keep the heat in.
Clean the lint screen before every new load
Install your dryer in a warm area, drying time is longer in an unheated garage or utility room
