Gas Dryers

Abt stocks the industry's best Gas Dryers

For most consumers, the choice between a Gas Dryer and an electric clothes dryer is based on what utilities are available to their home, or what connections are present in the laundry room. For those that have the choice of either, gas dryers tend to cost a little more than their electric counterparts up front, but are cheaper to operate on a daily basis. Over the course of the dryer's lifetime, the average gas dryer will cost less to own (based on today's energy prices).

Abt carries hundreds of dryers by all of top brands. To find out which is the best gas dryer for your needs, stop into Abt or talk to one of our sales specialists at 888-228-5800.

Both gas and electric dryers work on the same basic principle: electricity is used to power the motor that turns the drum. The difference is in how they create heat. Gas dryers use a gas-fed burner (much like a water heater) to heat and dry clothes, while electric dryers use an electrical heating element (much like an electric oven). With that said, drying performance is nearly equal between dryer types.
