Both are only an appliance. Neither knows anything about the presence of the other. They won't get jealous or have some kind of fight during the middle of the night. Why not if you feel that you need them?

Most homes and condos with natural gas hookups do not have the 230 V AC connection required for electric dryers. A few homes have both but it is rare. Small, apartment sized dryers sometimes have only a 15 A 117V AC plug. Expect to take about 3 hours to dry a medium load.

You are asking about the electrical portion of the hook up right ! Then the answer is yes. You will have to determine if the hookup is 12o VAC or 220 VAC , 60 Cycle. That goes for the electric dryer as well.

What type of professional can convert an electric dryer hookup to a gas dryer hookup?

A plumber with a gas ticket.


Can you convert a gas dryer 120V hookup to an electric dryer 240V hookup?

Chances are there is more than 1 outlet connected to the 110volt circuit you are looking to convert. So therefore the easy answer is No. The 240volt dryer circuit must be a dedicated single circuit for the dryer only.


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.


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.


How can you change a gas dryer to a electrical dryer with out buying a new one because you just brought this set you just moved and this house do not have gas only electric what can you do?

First open the door and let all the gas BTU's out and then pull the gas pipe off and install electric gassifyer without disturbing the cog's... Once that's done put a handkerchief in and switch on just to make sure the gas is dead and the electric is burning... Easy.

How much does it cost to switch gas dryer hookup to electric hookup?

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.

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.
