GE Profile PFD95GS*T*** over 12 years
12 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $129/year, the GE Profile PFD95GS*T*** adds up to about $1,550 in electricity over that span.
Shopping for a new one
The GE Profile PFD95GS*T*** runs above its category average. If the clothes dryer you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $129/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
At $129/year just to run, a clothes dryer is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
The data behind this page
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 687 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. Ranked 567 of 639 certified dryers for running cost, the GE Profile PFD95GS*T*** is also worth reading with a caveat specific to this category: the methodology page explains why ENERGY STAR's own combined-energy figure for dryers can overstate the electric bill impact of a gas model.
