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.

Can you hook up your electric dryer to a hookup for a gas dryer?
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?
Should you unplug your electric dryer when not in use?
It is not necessary, there is no power consumption when the dryer in not operating.
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.

No. An electric dryer has no burner or combustion controls.

A gas hookup will have fittings for a gas line, they should be clearly visible. In an electric hookup there will be an electrical plug, but no gas lines showing.
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.

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.

How do you convert a gas drier to an electric drier?
A gas clothes dryer will never become an electric dryer. To convert from an old gas dryer to a new electric model, the only major thing is to make sure there is the right kind of electric power outlet. Nearly all dryers require a large 30A 230V plug. Your gas dryer had only a regular 15A 117V plug, just light the other regular outlets in the house. Grounding is essential (!) for an electric dryer. If the ground is not there you will eventually get a horrible shock from the washer or dryer. A few clothes dryers (usually apartment sized models) use only the standard outlet, but expect a drying time of 2 hours plus for a small load of clothes.
Are there any gas washers?
No i would stay with elec only on the dryer as well since many places don't have a gas hookup for a dryer either anymore.
