We've been doing some calculations in IRC on the utility cost.
About 29¢ per load for electricity and 19¢ per load for gas
(ignoring the gas dryer's electrical consumption).
Assuming he did a load of laundry every day, that's $36.50 savings per year.


You must have really cheap electricity for a load to cost only 29¢.

I figure it takes about an hour a load, so that's 4-6kWH per load.
At 12¢ per kWH, that's about 60¢ a load.

Odds are good that the electricity cost is higher than 12¢ per kWH there, though.
