Answers:    Depending on where on earth you live will dictate which is more expensive to operate. The gas dryers of today use a hot surface ignitor to light the gas compared to the feeble pilot light days so safekeeping in that high regard is not an issue. If you don't have a gas splash hook up for the dryer, than you have an initial cost of running a gas strip. Contrary to what another contributor has said, repairing a gas dryer is not a bit more expensive than repairing an electric dryer. They use all duplicate components with the exception of the gas tap versus the electric element. With a gas dryer you hold to use a metal vent pipe and it must be vented to the outside (carbon monoxide) Oh, and the Whirlpool is a wearing clothes machine overall.
A gas dryer is more animation efficient. I am going to assume however that you own a gas line going to your house.
