How much does it cost to run a clothes dryer in Louisiana?
$82/yr · median certified model
Louisiana's 13.5¢/kWh rate undercuts the national average by 26%, so the typical certified clothes dryer costs roughly $82 a year here instead of $111.
That makes Louisiana the #4 cheapest of the 51 U.S. jurisdictions for running a clothes dryer. At local rates, certified models span $16 (Bosch WQB245AXUC) to $93 (Samsung WH46DBH1**E) per year — $76 of annual headroom that depends entirely on which unit you buy. For reference, the national extremes are Nevada (13.1¢/kWh) and Hawaii (52.7¢/kWh); the same median clothes dryer would cost $80 and $320 a year there.
