We have 2 electric dryers and only use them in the winter.

One wash day per week. The poco records show that laundry days art 15 to 17 kW-Hr higher than other days, some of that is the washer, and will say that is only 1 kW-hr.

So 15*(52-14) = 570 kW-hrs for the 2 of us and some grandkids clothes.

The - 14 weeks is parts of year DW can hang outside.

Maybe one of these days I'll cobble together a heat pump dryer if I come across a cheap or free compressor. Would save us all of about $40 per year, sure would not pay to buy one of the high priced things.
