Gas Dryer Hookup · Guelph
Gas Dryer Installation in Guelph
Gas dryers cost less to run than electric — if the line, connector and venting are done right.
A gas dryer runs for a fraction of the cost of an electric one, and in a Guelph laundry room with gas already nearby (next to the furnace or water heater) the hookup is often a small job. Where there's no gas in the laundry area, we run a short branch line and finish it with a proper shut-off.
The venting matters as much as the gas
Dryer fires almost always start in the vent, not the gas connection. We use rigid or semi-rigid metal duct (never foil or plastic), keep the run as short and straight as the house allows, and terminate it outside with a backdraft damper. If your existing vent is crushed, too long or made of the wrong material, we'll show you and quote the fix.
Included
- Gas branch line to the laundry area (if needed)
- Shut-off valve and approved flex connector
- Leak test and burner check
- Vent connection with proper metal duct, or full vent replacement if quoted
- Level and test cycle
Frequently asked questions
Is a gas dryer worth it in Guelph?
If gas is already in or near the laundry room, yes — the hookup pays for itself in operating cost within a few years.
Do I still need a 120V outlet?
Yes, a standard outlet for the drum motor and controls. You won't need the 240V circuit an electric dryer used.
Can you replace my dryer vent too?
Yes. Foil or plastic vents are a fire risk and we recommend replacing them during the install.
Can you connect a stacked washer/dryer unit?
Yes, including gas stacked units — we handle the gas, the vent and the water lines.
