Never had a gas dryer before. Thought about getting an electrician to add a 240v outlet but if we end up hating the gas dryer, we can switch to electric later.

I've never had comcast/xfinity but have heard horror stories. So we are going with Spectrum. We close late August so time will tell if we made a good choice.

Not 100% sure but I thought they said could do either. Will have to find out for sure. I close 9/8 so I have time to find out

We close September 1st in Citrus Grove. Our only option is gas. There is no outlet available for an electric dryer.

Gas, Xfinity

Really? Thought gas was cheaper .

The Consumer Energy Center estimates using a natural gas dryer can result in up to 50% savings in dryer energy costs. There is a cost to converting to natural gas. If your household currently has electric appliances, converting for just one appliance may not make financial sense.Jan 27, 2016

I had an electrician install dryer outlet and proper amp in electric box. Easy peasy. Don’t like gas dried clothes.

Double check for your 240 dryer outlet... Ours did not have one in our new home in St. Catherine.. we're paying Pike Electric to install one...we use Spectrum... No issues... Great customer service.

1. Need to buy a washer/dryer and looks like the house has hookup for both electric and gas.. any opinions on which I should get and why?

2. Looks like for Internet I have Xfinity or Spectrum as options. Opinions on which to get and why? I work from home and need good speeds and reliable service.

Thanks in advance and I can't wait to move into my new home.

See Jack at Sears Hometown on 441 in Summerfield for your appliance needs. Your choice on dryers but gas normally cost $100 more than electric.

My spectrum bill is $135/month for 1G service.
Comcast is offering $70/month for 1G

No TV/Phone - we stream and use mobiles devices

Switching to comcast later this month

Big benefit of Spectrum is no contracts, can upgrade/downgrade monthly - good for snow birds.

I prefer a gas dryer. Had electric for years and gas is cheaper and instant hot.

Look at the channel lineup for Xfinity vs Spectrum. Personally, I prefer Xfinity by far. They aren’t even close.

Apparently the Villages allows two high speed TV/internet providers for each Village. In the south where you are your options are Xfinnity/Comcast or spectrum. These are the only two with infrastructure in your Village.
When 5G “cellular” becomes available you will have another option. But for the next 12-24 months I’d go with the no data limit plan. You’d be surprised how fast you use it up especially with streaming and working.

We are new to Citrus Grove as of this month. We have had Spectrum up here in Ohio for years and have no issues with the service so we are going with Spectrum in Florida also. We have had gas and electric dryers in the past and prefer electric.

Your setup for gas, a gas dryer still needs a standard 120v outlet, and that’s what I see in the photo. I ordered my gas dryer from Costco. It delivered on time and in perfect condition.

I also signed up with Xfinity. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the installer and service from the store. The phone app works well too. I’m only discouraged by their data cap

Go with Spectrum , too many hassles with Xfinity.

I too had a very bad experience with Comcast before Verizon installed Fios in my Virginia neighborhood. I was very wary of using them again, but so far the experience down here has been very positive.
