Dryers are available in two types, electric and gas.
They are both equally effective. These dryers have heating coils that supply heat for drying your clothes. Most of them operate on a 240-volt current, which is twice the strength of an ordinary household current for lighting and using small appliances. Your laundry area must have a 240-volt outlet. Electric dryers are easier to install than gas dryers are and there is no gas hookup or combustion-exhaust vent required.
