Want to know how much it costs to run your dryer? The CURRENT COST PER HOUR feature
will allow you to figure out how much it costs to operate any electrically powered appliance
or device in your home. This feature shows your whole home’s energy use in real time. First,
take a look at the screen and note your energy use. Then, start the dryer and check back to
see the cost difference. Unless other appliances turned on while you were starting the dryer,
you can infer the difference between the original and new “cost per hour” values is what it
costs you per hour to run the dryer.
To view HVAC cost estimate:
