Dryer Installation FAQs
Do all dryers need external venting?
Vented dryers require external exhaust ducting to remove moist air. Condenser and heat pump
dryers don't need external venting as they collect moisture in a tank or drain it away.
Check your dryer specifications to confirm venting requirements.
Can I install a dryer myself?
Electric dryers plugging into a standard power point can be set up yourself. However, if you
need a new power point installed or have a gas dryer, you must use a licensed electrician
or gas fitter to ensure safe, compliant installation.
What power supply does an electric dryer need?
Most household electric dryers in Australia use a standard 10-amp power point. Some larger
or commercial units may require a 15-amp or dedicated circuit. Check your dryer's specifications
and have an electrician assess your existing setup.
Is a gas or electric dryer better?
Gas dryers typically have lower running costs and dry clothes faster, but require gas connection.
Electric dryers are more common and easier to install. Heat pump dryers are the most energy
efficient but have higher upfront costs. The best choice depends on your home setup and usage.
