About $10.

Do the math. Amps x Volts = Watts. A typical dryer is 30 amps @ 240 volts. That's 7200 Watts. Average electricity cost is $.07 per 1000 watt-hours. So...if you run the dryer for one hour ...it will use 7200 watt-hours. 7.2 x $.07 = $.50 per hour of usage.

Does a increase in current result in increase in electrical consumption?

As you are billed on the consumption of wattage and wattage is the product of amp times volts the answer to your question is yes. An increase in current will result in an increase in electrical consumption.Additional AnswerResidential consumers are billed on their energyconsumption (there is no such thing as 'electrical consumption' as 'electricity' is not a measurable quantity!), expressed in kilowatt hours.There may be several reasons for an increase in load current. For example, if the residential load has a low power factor, it will be drawing more current than necessary, but the energy consumed will be no different from if the load had a high power factor.So, for residential loads, an increase in load current doesn't necessarily mean a higher energy consumption.

How many loads of cloths does the average PERSON DO PER year?

I dry about 8 loads a week. It's easy to move one load from the washer to the dryer so it's not about separating it again, you just take a washed load and move it to the dryer. It's not a good idea to mix colors and whites in the dryer because lint can transfer between the items. **** : The first response to this question is ridiculous. : I do about 42 loads of laundry a year, that's less than one per week. I read that Proctor and Gamble claim that the average American family does 300 loads/ year, that's 6 loads/ week. I prefer to dry only about half of my washed clothes, so about 22 dryer loads a year.

Lowing a Gas Bill Average?

Many people wish to cut expenses in a monthly budget, given the tough economy. The good news is that there are plenty of ways people can work to cut a gas bill average. One way to cut a gas bill average is to simply stop using the gas as much in a household. If one has a dryer that is powered by gas, then a person should seek to only do a few loads of laundry in the dryer in a given month. Using the dryer too much will greatly increase one's gas bill in any given month and is something that can be cut.


Just bought the new Samsung gas and electric washer and dryer...how is it rated ?

The Samsung gas dryer and electric washer overall are GOOD products. The only cons are the sensor has an issue when there are mixed loads to be dried (towels and lighter items), and there's no delay start feature. The pros are: they're both quiet, energy efficient and its features and looks are impeccable. The price for both is GREAT!

How much electricity does a 20-year-old washer with an electric water heater and electric dryer use per month at 24 loads per month?

This depends upon how much current they draw. Older ones tend to be less efficient and draw more. You will have to check the nameplate to see what the current draw is and add them up. Then Ohm's law and the power conversion formula will have to be used.
