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.
A gas burner, rather than an electric coil, provides the heat. However, gas dryers do rely on certain electric componets, including an electric motor to tumble the clothes and an electric fan to distribute heat. How Much Do Gas Dryers Cost? Gas dryers cost anywhere from about $350 to $1,600, depending on the model. On the low end of that price range, youâll get a basic model with a small capacity. On the high-end, youâll get a top-of-the-line, large capacity machine with luxury features such as a steam-dry option.
