What Is a Gas Dryer?
A gas dryer uses natural gas (or LP with a conversion kit) to heat air while a 120V electrical outlet powers the drum and controls. Gas heat ramps quickly, helping clothes dry faster and often at a lower operating cost than electric, perfect for busy laundry days.
Types of Gas Dryers
- Standard Vented Gas Dryers (27"+): Full-size capacity with powerful, fast drying through an exterior vent.
- Stackable Front-Load Gas Dryers: Pair vertically with a matching front-load washer using a stacking kit to save floor space.
- Closet-Depth/Short-Depth Models: Shallower cabinets to fit tight closets or hallways (check clearances and vent path).
- Commercial-Style/Heavy-Duty: Reinforced components for frequent use and large, bulky loads.
- LP Convertible: Many models can convert from natural gas to liquid propane with a manufacturer kit.
