[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have Gas stove but electric run washer/dryer. I never realized some homes have Gas for the washer and dryer units.

How does it work? Does your washer/dryer unit run hotter than it would with electric? [/quote]

It’s typically just a lot less expensive to run, that’s why people install them.  But as far as I know, it’s just the dryer, not the washer that runs on gas.   [/quote]

Correct. My dryer is gas. Gas dryers are more energy efficient and less expensive to operate than electric dryers.[/quote]

Gas dryers are worse for the climate at this point.[/quote]

The picture is muddy. The electricity is generated by gas so it's all fossil fuel generated, no matter how you slice it. Supplying electric power is inefficient. Electric dryers pull a lot of current. There are arguments that state that gas dryers contribute less CO2 than electric dryers to the environment. I don't know about that. I just know that its not clear cut.[/quote]

If you want to help the environment get one with a heat pump.[/quote]
