My dad told the builder to put in a gas line AND 30 amp electrical circuit for the dryer.
The 30 amp dryer circuit seems like a waste.
Disconnect or leave?

I did the same thing in our house. Dryer has electrical and gas hookups.
Induction range has electrical and gas hookups.

I've used these gas hookups to power up ventless heaters in "emergencies" when Texas' power grid has gone offline for substantial periods of time.

They've repeatedly spent monies that earmarked for pipeline and transmission line safety and maintenance on other things, including executive bonuses. They lost massive lawsuits after it was shown that their failure to maintain clear areas around the electric transmission lines caused some of California's worst wildfires when windstorms hit in the fall (fire season). They're now raising rates to cover the damage assessments, and the rate payers get screwed again.

Seems like a good industry to get into if you want to misappropriate money. It happened around here too. Utility still owes me about $200 in "capital credits" with a payment ETA of about 20 years out. Good news is that if I kick it, those payments are due to my estate...

I built a house in 2006 and had all gas appliances but I pre wired for and electric range and dryer. It's certainly not hurting anything and the next guy might want an electric dryer.

Wise Move!
Last yr we moved into a house that was basically all electrical except for furnace and water heater
As we had gas appliances we needed gas runs to the garage, kitchen, and utility room. Cost us around $4,500 and that was the lowest bid! And the runs were not that long!!

No we need more grown adults.

I am close to post something even more derailish than what it was already posted even I am not sure how since the TOS of GJ went out of the window a long time ago here just to get this deleted, locked and cleaned up.

No wonder Ryan is so tiered.

that was gonna be my next question- how does it remove the water.

I love gas appliances here in commiefornia where electricity is super expensive

I never heard of one too.

Heat pump dryers have earned the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient recognition.

Heat pump dryers offer the biggest advantage to consumers with high clothes dryer usage and high electricity rates.

He's several levels of tired, that's for sure.

Induction for the win!

Love my induction cook top. Would never have anything else.

Almost everyone I hear talking about the dangers of gas justifying refusing gas cooking and dryers have a gas furnace

The "administration" is trying to get rid of gas furnaces due to the threat of ....
Global Warming

What's your point? Are we supposed to ignore science?

Who's science.....or do you think there's only "one" science.....?

(since we've already answered the OP's questions, we're free to fly off on the tangents!)

 

[mrVanagon]

Who's science

Nobody is science.
