There are many things to consider when shopping for a new gas dryer. Whether you need a new dryer to match your washer or a new dryer with advanced features, it is important to choose whether you want a gas or electric dryer.

Both electric and gas dryers use electricity to power a fan, but electric models use heating coils, whereas gas dryers use a gas burner. Gas dryers typically dry your clothes faster than electric dryers, giving you long-term energy and financial savings. At Conn’s HomePlus, we offer a wide selection of gas dryers to choose from.

Dryer Types Depending on your space will determine the type of dryer you should buy. If you do not have a lot of space – you may need to opt for a compact dryer. A full-sized dryer is a better option if space is not a problem.

Full-Sized Dryer Most dryers are made to match the washer and can be purchased in a set. Typically, the dryer can be stacked on top of your washer to help save space. Full-size gas dryers will need a 120-volt outlet and a gas hookup.

Compact Dryer

Currently, there are no compact gas dryers, only electric ones. Compact dryers measure about 24 inches wide, and the height and depth vary.

Size Matters

Full-size dryers are 27 inches wide, but the capacities increase, so the dryer is about 2 – 3 inches wider. Before purchasing your dryer, measure the area where your dryer will go and add at least six more inches behind the dryer to allow for venting. You will also need to measure the doors in your laundry room and home to ensure enough space to move your dryer. If your dryer is under the counter, you will need to measure the height of your dryer to ensure it will fit properly.
