It depends on what kind of dryer you are going to put in though I recommend to put in a 110 dryer so there will be no need for a contractor as the outlet for your washer is usually rated to supply enough amps for both appliances.

How do you switch a gas dryer to an electric?
no, unless you can find a gas powered generator to make your electricity, then yes. No!! In the electric dryer there is a heating element ... for a gas dryer there is a heating box where a gas flame has to exist in order to heat sufficiently for the clothes to dry. Configuring an electric dryer to gas is impractical, and simply an unwise thing to even attempt. The conversion process would cost more than just going out and purchaseing a gas dryer.
Is a gas dryer better than an electric?
Yes, a gas dryer is better than an electric dryer. A gas dryer becomes much hotter so therefore your clothes dry faster. Also natural gas as piped to homes costs less per kilowatt-hour than the equivalent amount of household electrical power. However the initial purchase cost of a gas dryer is much more than an electric dryer and the installation costs cost ofa gas dryer can be much higher too because it needs a piped gas supply as well as electricity.
Are gas dryers more efficient than electric?
Technically, yes. However, if you're trying to figure out if it will be cost-effective to switch from one energy source to another, the answer is no. A gas dryer will generally cost $50-70 more than an electric dryer. If your home does not already have gas, that will require the gas company to pipe gas into your home, as well as having fittings installed to set up your dryer. Likewise, switching from gas to electric would mean a dryer that costs less but requires a 220v outlet, which requires a dedicated circuit. This means around $400 of work by an electrician. So, the simplest answer is, whatever energy source you already have for a dryer is the energy source you should use.
How do you convert from electric clothes dryer to gas clothes dryer?
The only practical way to do that would be to sell the electric clothes dryer and use the proceeds toward purchase of a gas dryer. Even if it was possible to convert the dryer the cost would be prohibitive versus a new dryer. If you mean converting the building, then you would need to have natural gas plumbing installed, and you would need an outlet that matches the voltage of the new dryer.

What is the cost to wire a new dryer outlet?
Depends on several factors. How far is dryer from electric panel? Is it gas or electric? Is there easy access to where wire must be run? Must an electric permit be obtained? With the price of copper a 100 ft. Run off 10 AWG wire may cost about $100 and another $30 for a breaker and $10 for outlet. Then there is labor which will vary by area, but may cost at least $50 per hour. So you are likely in the $300 price range. Get a free estimate from your local electrician.
Can a gas dryer be converted to an electric one?
For a gas dryer in the US you will need a 120 volt outlet to plug into. The old electric dryer was 220 volts so that outlet cannot be used as it is currently. Second, you will need to have a gas line run to the site of the new dryer. That should be it.
