Give Laundry Day A Better Spin

Fast drying. Thoughtful fabric care. A fresh take on laundry with propane.

Laundry has a way of piling up. A propane clothes dryer helps you keep things moving, pairing powerful heat with smart features that take the guesswork out of drying. From everyday tees to the family’s towel collection, discover a little more convenience in every load.

​

Big Performance. Small Fuel Appetite.

20–40 gallons a year

Estimated annual propane use for a clothes dryer in a two- to four-bedroom home.

Heat that gets moving

Propane dryers heat up quickly and can dry laundry faster than conventional electric models.

Smart enough to stop

Available moisture sensors end the cycle when clothes are dry, helping prevent wasted energy and unnecessary fabric wear.

Less Laundry Limbo. More Living.

Get a jump on the next load

Quick heating helps move laundry from wet to ready-to-fold, so the washer doesn’t have to wait on the dryer.

Give fabrics a little TLC

Overdrying can take a toll on clothing. Moisture-sensing cycles help limit unnecessary heat exposure while getting the job done.

Smooth things over

Available steam and wrinkle-control cycles help relax creases and freshen garments. Your iron may appreciate the time off.

See what you’ve been missing

An illuminated drum makes it easier to spot the small things—including that sock trying to stay behind.

Take control of the tumble

Look for easy-to-read digital controls, fabric-specific settings, and adjustable drying options that fit your routine.

Skip the standing pilot

Modern electronic ignition lights the burner when heat is needed, without keeping a pilot flame burning between loads.

Features vary by model. Follow garment care labels and the dryer manufacturer’s instructions.

A Fresh Start—or a Laundry Room Refresh.

Building a new home? Plan for propane.

Include the dryer’s gas connection, electrical outlet, and outdoor exhaust route in your plans. Coordinating these details early gives you more appliance choices when it’s time to finish the laundry room.

Replacing an electric dryer? Make the connection.

Switching to propane means installing a compatible gas dryer and arranging the proper fuel supply. Have a qualified installer evaluate your gas piping, electrical connection, and existing exhaust duct before purchasing.

Already shopping for a gas dryer? Check the label.

Many gas dryers can operate on propane with the manufacturer’s approved conversion kit. Confirm compatibility before buying, and have a qualified professional complete the conversion and installation.

What Does a Load Really Cost?

Your laundry habits matter more than your sock count. Household size, load frequency, cycle settings, local propane prices, and maintenance all affect operating costs.

Use these planning estimates as a starting point:

Home sizeEstimated propane use per year*

2 bedrooms20 gallons

3 bedrooms30 gallons

4 bedrooms40 gallons

Do the laundry math:
Annual gallons × your propane price per gallon = estimated annual fuel cost.

Your dryer also uses electricity to power its drum, controls, and blower. Include that usage when comparing total operating costs.

Consumption estimates are from the Propane Education & Research Council. Actual use varies.

Good Questions Before You Take One Home.

Does a propane dryer need electricity?

Yes. Propane supplies the heat, while electricity powers other components. Many residential gas dryers use a standard 120-volt outlet; confirm the model’s installation requirements.

Does it need an outdoor vent?

Yes. A propane dryer must exhaust outdoors through ductwork that meets the manufacturer’s requirements and applicable codes.

Can my electric dryer be converted to propane?

An electric dryer generally cannot be converted. You’ll need a gas dryer approved for propane use.

Will propane always cost less than electric drying?

Costs depend on the models and local energy prices. Compare specific appliances and distinguish conventional electric dryers from electric heat pump models, which use a different drying technology.

Keep the Tumble Running Smoothly.

• Clear the lint filter before or after every load.

• Keep the exhaust path clear and have ductwork inspected and cleaned regularly.

• Leave room to tumble. Follow load-size recommendations instead of packing the drum.

• Choose the right cycle for the fabric, and use moisture-sensing settings when appropriate.

• Bring in a professional for installation, propane conversion, and service.
