Do the Villages new-construction patio villas come with an electric dryer outlet?
Do the newly constructed patio villas in The Villages come equipped with a proper fitting ‘electrical’ outlet for a laundry dryer. If not, I guess I’ll need to hire an electrician to convert or add a dryer outlet?
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! |

An electrician is going to likely charge you more than what the dryer costs just to run a new 220v circuit for that. |

We brought a matching Kenmore set with an electric dryer that we really like so we opted to have a 220v line installed by an electrician. It cost about $500, so be prepared for sticker shock. They have a base price but it can go up depending on how much wire they need. The wire is pretty expensive now days. We have purchased three houses south of 44 and none of them were wired for electric.

The outlet that you see is most likely a 120v outlet and looks exactly like the outlet at the washer location. A gas dryer does need electricity to run the controls and motor to spin the drum.
Never had a gas dryer until we moved here. It does do a better/faster job than electric. |

Thanks to everyone who responded with such helpful advice.
You were correct. Confirmed to us this morning…NO electrical outlet for dryer in these homes. We’re switching order from electric dryer to gas dryer. Glad it got discovered before deliver of laundry appliances! Really appreciate all the comments in this thread! |

Good morning! Casandra with Pike's Electric here. To my knowledge, Moultrie Creek homes are coming with gas set up for dryer and range. If you are interested in changing over to electric appliances, we are happy to help you with an estimate for lines for these items
