We bought a house in Fenney last month. We are moving in the end of May.

What I noticed in our house was a gas connection in the laundry room and two 110 volt outlets; one for washer, and one for dryer. There is also a two outlet wide blank plate which I thought was for a 220 Volt dryer but again there is no outlet, just a blank outlet cover.

I took a picture of the electric panel and I do not see a 220 volt breaker labeled for a dryer. So, did the builder run the 220 volt cable from the electrical box to the back of the wall where the dryer would go and just not put in the outlet and the breaker?

So, you might need to get an electrician to run the electrical, install a breaker and then put the 220 volt outlet in.

If you need to get an electrician, I think the gas dryer would be cheaper. Gas dryers are typically $100 more. Electrician will be more than that. Also, I think gas is cheaper to run.

So not sure if all Fenney houses are like this.

Best of luck.
