If substitute products have been identified and there is a threat of easy switching between a companyâs product and the substitute, then a company can act preemptively and try to bring over customers over to their product.
The âSaving Electricityâ website reports that the average dryer uses 3.3 kilowatt hours of energy and estimates an average of 11 cents per kilowatt hour. A small load of clothes takes about 45 minutes in the dryer, so the cost of that load is $0.36.he dryers in my building just went up to $2.00 for 60 minutes (which doesnât get a large load fully dry). I use drying racks for 3 out of 4 loads, so I save about $12-16 a month. Plus, my clothes retain their shape and colour so much better.
- The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 20 cents in a gas dryer. - Most gas dryers use only 110 electric current to run the drum to circulate the clothes, rather than the 220 electric. current that electric clothes dryers use. -------------------. The U.S. Department of Energy states it costs half as much to run a gas/propane dryer than electric.
