- Capacity: 7.0-9.0 cubic feet (7.2-7.4 most common)
- Electrical: 220V/240V, 30-amp circuit, 5,000-6,000 watts heating element
- Power Cord: NEMA 10-30 (3-prong) or NEMA 14-30 (4-prong) - NOT included with dryer
- Venting: 4" round duct to outside (rigid or semi-rigid metal)
- Weight: 110-140 lbs (lighter than gas dryers)
- Noise Level: 55-65 dB typical

Top-Load Electric Dryer (less common):
- Width: 27-29 inches
- Height: 43-44 inches
- Depth: 27-31 inches
- Capacity: 6.0-7.5 cubic feet
- Same electrical, venting as front-load

220V Electrical Requirements:
- Voltage: 220V or 240V (same circuit - voltage varies by utility) - HIGH VOLTAGE (NOT standard 110V household outlets) - Requires dedicated circuit (not shared with other appliances)
- Amperage: 30-amp circuit breaker required - Electric dryers draw 5,000-6,000 watts during heating cycle

Power Cord Types:
3-Prong Power Cord (NEMA 10-30): For older homes with 3-wire outlets (pre-1996 electrical code). Wires: Two hot (black/red) + neutral (white). Grounding: Neutral acts as ground (via neutral jumper in dryer). Code: Still compliant for existing 3-wire outlets.
4-Prong Power Cord (NEMA 14-30): For newer homes with 4-wire outlets (1996+ electrical code). Wires: Two hot (black/red) + neutral (white) + ground (green/yellow). Grounding: Separate ground wire (safer design). Code: Current standard for new installations.

Important: Dryers do NOT include power cords - must purchase separately. Must match cord type to outlet type - check BEFORE purchasing. Cannot interchange cord types - each requires different dryer wiring configuration. Both types are safe when properly installed.

Venting Requirements:
- Diameter: 4" round duct (standard for all residential dryers)
- Material: Rigid or semi-rigid metal (aluminum or galvanized steel)
- NEVER USE: Flexible plastic duct (fire hazard), vinyl duct (fire hazard), duct tape for sealing (fire hazard - use foil tape)
- Maximum Length: 25-35 feet total (varies by manufacturer - each 90-degree bend reduces by 5 feet)
- Bends: Minimize 90-degree bends (each bend reduces airflow efficiency)

Help your installation go smoothly:

Clear Pathway (User's Requirement):
Clear a path from the street to the laundry room, ensuring it is wide enough to accommodate the dryer. This includes doorways, hallways, and stairs if applicable.

Adult 18+ Available (User's Requirement):
Adult 18 or older must be present during entire installation appointment.

Purchase NEW 220V Power Cord (User's CRITICAL Requirement):
You MUST purchase a NEW 220V power cord ($20-40 from hardware store or appliance dealer). Dryers do NOT come with power cords. Existing power cords CANNOT be reused. You need the CORRECT type for your outlet:
- 3-Prong Cord (NEMA 10-30): For older homes with 3-wire outlets (pre-1996)
- 4-Prong Cord (NEMA 14-30): For newer homes with 4-wire outlets (1996+)
Check your outlet BEFORE purchasing cord!

Purchase NEW Vent Kit (User's CRITICAL Requirement):
You MUST purchase a NEW dryer vent kit ($15-30 from hardware store). Existing exposed venting materials CANNOT be reused. Kit should include 4" rigid or semi-rigid metal vent duct, clamps, foil tape, and transition piece.

Purchase Stacking Kit (If Stacking):
If you want to stack dryer on washer, you must purchase the CORRECT stacking kit designed specifically for your washer and dryer models. $49 installation fee applies (user's requirement).

Purchase Pedestal (If Desired):
If you want to raise your front-load dryer for easier access, purchase matching pedestal (typically $150-300) designed for your dryer model.

Additional Preparation:
- Verify 220V outlet behind dryer (check if 3-prong or 4-prong)

Q: How long does electric dryer installation take in the Atlanta area?
Most electric dryer installations take 1.5-2.5 hours, including disconnection and removal of old dryer, NEW power cord installation, NEW vent kit installation, 220V electrical connection, and comprehensive operational testing. Stacking installations or pedestal installations may take 2-3 hours.

Q: Why can't I reuse my existing power cord and vent duct?
Existing power cords and exposed venting materials CANNOT be reused because: (1) Power cords: Dryers don't include cords - must purchase separately. Old cords may be damaged, corroded, wrong type for outlet, or non-code-compliant. (2) Vent ducts: Old vents accumulate lint buildup creating fire hazard. You must purchase NEW 220V power cord ($20-40 - correct type for outlet) and NEW vent kit ($15-30).

Q: What is the difference between 3-prong and 4-prong power cords?
3-Prong (NEMA 10-30): Older standard (pre-1996). Two hot wires + neutral. No separate ground wire. Still code-compliant for existing 3-wire outlets. 4-Prong (NEMA 14-30): Newer standard (1996+). Two hot wires + neutral + ground. Current electrical code for new installations. You MUST match cord type to outlet type. Check your outlet BEFORE purchasing cord!

Q: Can I upgrade my 3-prong outlet to 4-prong?
Yes, but it requires running new wire from electrical panel (additional charge $150-300). Most dryers work fine with 3-prong outlets using proper 3-prong cord - upgrading is optional unless you prefer for safety or code compliance for home sale.

Q: Do electric dryers need outside venting?
YES! Electric dryers MUST vent to outside (typically 4" duct through exterior wall) to remove: (1) Moisture (clothes release 2-4 gallons water per load - causes mold/mildew if vented inside), (2) Lint (highly flammable - fire hazard if accumulates - 14,000+ dryer fires per year). Venting inside is DANGEROUS and code violation. Side venting NOT available per user limitation.

Q: What size electrical circuit do electric dryers need?
Electric dryers require dedicated 220V/240V circuit with 30-amp breaker. Dryers draw 5,000-6,000 watts during heating cycle. This is HIGH VOLTAGE (NOT standard 110V). Circuit should be dedicated (not shared with other appliances). Most homes built after 1970 have 220V dryer circuit in laundry room.

Q: What is the difference between gas and electric dryers?
Electric Dryers: Use 220V electrical heating element. Advantages: No gas connection needed, simpler installation, works anywhere with 220V. Disadvantages: Higher operating cost ($0.30-0.50/load), slower drying, higher electricity usage. Gas Dryers: Use natural gas or propane for heating. Advantages: Lower operating cost ($0.15-0.25/load), faster drying, gentler on fabrics. Disadvantages: Requires gas connection, more complex installation, requires gas leak testing.

Q: Can I stack my washer and dryer?
Yes! We provide stacking installation with $49 installation fee (user's requirement) IF you have purchased the CORRECT stacking kit designed specifically for your washer and dryer models (typically $50-150). Both appliances must be front-load style. Stacking saves significant laundry room space.

Q: Can you reverse the door swing?
Yes! We offer door swing reversal service (additional charge $50-100). Reversing door hinge allows door to open opposite direction for convenient access based on your laundry room layout. Most modern dryers support door reversal - verify in manual.

Q: How often should I clean my dryer vent?
Dryer vents should be professionally cleaned EVERY 12 months (more often if large household or heavy dryer use). Lint buildup causes: (1) Fire hazard (14,000+ dryer fires per year - lint is extremely flammable), (2) Longer dry times, (3) Higher energy bills, (4) Dryer damage. Clean lint filter after EVERY load.

Q: Do you handle disposal of my old dryer?
Yes! For $25, we'll haul away your old electric dryer and take it for proper recycling. This is optional but highly recommended for complete service.

Q: What brands of electric dryers can you install?
We install all major brands including Samsung (steam, smart WiFi), LG (TurboSteam, AI sensors), Whirlpool (AccuDry sensor, Wrinkle Shield), Maytag (PowerDry, Extra Power button), GE (Profile, Cafe series), Electrolux (luxury features, Perfect Steam), Amana (budget-friendly), Kenmore (discontinued but serviced), and all other manufacturers.
