How does it work? Does your washer/dryer unit run hotter than it would with electric?
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.
Correct. My dryer is gas. Gas dryers are more energy efficient and less expensive to operate than electric dryers.
Gas dryers are worse for the climate at this point.
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.

Unless you're my neighbor with a roof of solar panels that generate enough energy for them month-over-month. They switched out the gas dryer to electric for this reason. (Not a cheap experience, but worth it.)
No price is too high to pay to avoid the inevitable crisis-climate disaster.

We are in a climate crisis, people! Gas appliances are causing it.
You really need to get all gas appliances out of your house as soon as possible!!
