We just bought in Moultrie Creek and the outlet definitely doesn’t look big enough for a dryer. I’m no expert. We ordered a new electric dryer to be delivered very soon, but maybe we should change the order to a ‘gas’ dryer so that it will fit. I’d like to avoid extra cost of having an electrician install the correct dryer outlet if it needs one.
I’ll ask my builder tomorrow about the dryer outlet to make sure, but wondering if other new buyers have had the same question.
Thanks in advance!

A gas dryer is far superior to an electric. Cheaper to run and faster to dry. You should change your order to a gas dryer. We live in a home that was built just 2 years ago and were happy to discover that there was a gas connection in our laundry room. I believe they're all using gas south of the turnpike now.
An electrician is going to likely charge you more than what the dryer costs just to run a new 220v circuit for that.
