Why Switch to Gas Drying?

Experience the professional advantage of high-efficiency natural gas or propane laundry appliances.

Fast Drying

Shorter drying cycles and faster heat generation compared to traditional electric models, saving you precious time every week.

Lower Energy Cost

Natural gas is significantly more cost-effective than electricity for heating, reducing your utility bills by up to 50% per load.

Fabric Care

Gentler on clothes with reduced heat exposure per cycle. The instant-on heat of gas prevents unnecessary tumbling and fiber wear.

Safety Watch: Signs You Need Service

Immediate attention to these warning signs can prevent catastrophic failure and ensure the continued safety of your property.

URGENT ALERT

Rotten Egg Smell

Mercaptan is added to gas to help you detect leaks. If you smell it, exit immediately and call for help.

STRUCTURAL

Underground Leaks

Unexplained dead patches in grass or bubbling in wet soil are key indicators of exterior line failure.

AUDIBLE WARNING

Hissing Sounds

Audible noise near connections or appliance fittings indicates high-pressure gas escaping into the air.

PERFORMANCE

Low Appliance Pressure

Weak flames or burners taking longer to light often signal internal obstructions or regulator failure.

Questions, answered by the experts.

Is a gas dryer better than an electric dryer?

For most households, yes. Gas dryers heat up faster and run at higher temperatures than electric models, which translates to shorter drying cycles and lower energy costs over time. While gas dryers typically have a slightly higher upfront purchase price, the ongoing savings on utility bills generally make them the more economical choice over the life of the appliance. They are also gentler on fabrics because the faster drying time reduces the amount of heat exposure your clothes experience per cycle.

Do I need a special gas line for a dryer?

Yes. A gas dryer requires a dedicated gas supply line with a flexible connector and a manual shut-off valve located behind or near the appliance. The line must be properly sized to deliver adequate gas pressure to the dryer’s burner. If your laundry room does not already have a gas connection, AEI ProGas can run a new line from your home’s existing gas supply to the dryer location safely and efficiently.

Can I convert my electric dryer hookup to gas?

Yes, but it requires professional installation. Converting from an electric dryer to a gas dryer involves running a new gas line to the laundry room and installing the appropriate fittings and shut-off valve. The existing 240-volt electrical outlet used by the electric dryer is no longer needed for heating, though gas dryers do still require a standard 120-volt outlet for the drum motor and controls. Our licensed technicians handle the gas line work from start to finish.

Does a gas dryer need to be vented outside?

Yes, absolutely. A gas dryer must be vented to the outside of the home through a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct. The vent exhausts combustion byproducts, including carbon monoxide, as well as heat and moisture. Venting a gas dryer into an attic, crawl space, or interior wall is dangerous and not permitted by code. Our technicians verify that your venting is properly installed and free of obstructions as part of every gas dryer installation.

How long does it take to install a gas line for a dryer?

In most cases, installing a gas line to an existing laundry room takes just a few hours. If the laundry room is located far from the main gas supply or if the installation requires running a line through finished walls or flooring, the project may take longer. Our team provides a clear estimate of the time and cost involved before any work begins.

What should I do if I smell gas near my dryer?

If you detect a gas odor near your dryer or anywhere in your laundry room, turn off the gas supply at the shut-off valve behind the dryer immediately, leave the area, avoid using any electrical switches or open flames, and call AEI ProGas from a safe location. Do not attempt to inspect or reconnect any gas fittings yourself. Gas leaks require immediate professional attention.
