发帖数: 69 | 1 We need to buy a dryer. We have a gas hook in the laundry room, but don't
have 240V outlet there. We do have 240V for AC and stove, but don't have it
in the laundry room. Given this, should we buy a gas dryer and use the
current gas hook in the laundry room? Or should we buy an electric dryer and
have a 240V outlet installed in the laundry room?
I cannot be sure about the difference in long-term cost of gas vs. electric
dryers, but just feel that electric ones sounds safer.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you! |

that the case?

those and they are safe. You can install CO detector to add extra safety.

发帖数: 1056 | 12 That is ridiculous. The CO has no smell at all. You need to install the CO
alarm on each floor, and also in the bedroom as an extra safety.
What you can smell is gas, which has no harm at all except when it is in the
explosion range.
