The gas unit developed a higher internal temperature and is more energy efficient. And it drys the clothes faster,too! The electric has a nice finish and it makes an excellent work space on top. Connecting differences will have to be visually checked out. Both dryers require a larger 3 or 4 inch crimped metal exhaust for the heated air that has plenty of moist air & lint. The gas unit will need a thick threaded gas supply pipe with a shut-off valve. Both types have to have a regular 110 volt duplex outlet to power lights, controls and electric motors. The electric clothes dryer requires a 220 volt special electrical outlet that consists of only one plug in location which is at least
twice the size of a regular duplex outlet, normally seen throughout a home.
