What's Included in a Dryer Hookup

Gas Dryer Hookup

Gas dryer hookup requires a certified technician familiar with gas appliance connections. The connection uses a flexible gas connector that runs from the dryer’s gas inlet to the dedicated shut off valve on the wall. We verify the shut off valve opens and closes fully, make the connection with the correct fittings, test for gas leaks with a detector before powering on, and run the dryer through a heat cycle to confirm the burner ignites correctly. A gas dryer hookup should never be attempted without leak testing. Book online to confirm same-day availability.

Electric Dryer Hookup

Electric dryer hookup requires a 240V 30-amp dedicated circuit and the correct dryer cord configuration. Most new dryers ship without a cord: the correct cord must match the outlet in the laundry room. We confirm the outlet type on arrival and supply or install the correct cord before making the connection. The dryer is then leveled, the vent hose connected, and a full heat cycle run to confirm function.

The 3-Prong to 4-Prong Cord Conversion

Denver Metro Area homes built before 2000 often have 3-prong dryer outlets. Modern dryers require 4-prong cords. These are not compatible without a cord change or outlet upgrade. We handle both: installing the correct 3-prong cord for an existing 3-prong outlet, or upgrading the outlet to 4-prong if the homeowner prefers to standardize. We assess the existing outlet on arrival and advise on the most practical path before doing any work.

Dryer Vent Hose Connection

Every dryer installation includes connecting the vent hose from the dryer exhaust port to the existing wall vent outlet. We use semi-rigid or rigid metal duct on every job where space allows: flexible foil duct traps lint at every bend and is the leading cause of dryer vent fires in residential homes. The vent hose is secured at both ends, the exterior vent cap is confirmed to be opening freely, and the connection is checked for leaks before the test cycle. We connect the dryer to an existing wall vent outlet. We do not cut new vent holes or run new duct through walls: that scope requires a separate contractor. For dryer vent cleaning, see our dryer vent cleaning page.

Stackable Dryer Installation

Stackable washer dryer installation for the dryer requires a stacking kit specific to the washer and dryer model pair. The dryer must sit on the correct kit for the exact models involved: universal kits do not provide adequate stability on high-spin cycles. We verify the correct kit before scheduling, handle the stacking, complete all gas or electric connections, connect the vent hose, and test both units before leaving. For washer hookup, see our washer hookup page.

What We Check Before Leaving

Every dryer hookup job ends with the same checklist: gas connections leak tested (gas models), electric cord fully seated and outlet confirmed correct (electric models), vent hose secured at both ends with no kinks, dryer level front-to-back and side-to-side, and a full heat cycle run to confirm temperature and function. A dryer that runs but produces no heat almost always has an open gas valve or a cord configuration issue, not a mechanical fault.

Dryer Hook Up FAQ

  • Not for a standard connection to an existing outlet or gas valve. Gas dryer hookup to an existing dedicated gas line is appliance installation work. If no gas line or 240V outlet exists at the location, a plumber or electrician needs to rough in the supply first. We identify this on the call and advise accordingly.

  • Homes built before 2000 often have 3-prong 240V outlets. Modern dryers and current code require 4-prong outlets. We handle cord changes or outlet upgrades on every electric dryer hookup call where a mismatch exists.

  • Yes. Every dryer installation includes connecting the vent hose from the dryer to the existing wall vent outlet and confirming the exterior vent cap opens freely. We do not cut new vent holes or run new duct through walls.

  • We handle one dryer per visit. If you are replacing a gas dryer with an electric model or vice versa, we assess the existing connections on arrival and advise on what additional work is needed before making any connections.

  • Yes. If the dryer is already installed but not working, see our dryer repair page for same-day mechanical diagnosis across Denver Metro Area.

  • Yes. For washer hookup and installation, see our washer hookup page. We handle both units on the same visit for new washer and dryer installation jobs.

  • Isabella Ricca

    They responded very quickly to my call and arrived timely (appreciated the text that they were on the way & when they arrived). They were very nice and explained everything that they found wrong with my dryer and walked me through the process of how they would repair the issues prior to repairing it. Would recommend!

  • Ava

    Technician arrived on time and was courteous and professional in their explanation. I felt comfortable with their recommendations. Appreciate the level of service from this small company

  • Isabella Klaimy

    Had our washing machine break mid-cycle on a Sunday. Within a few minutes of reaching out to them, the team at Wilson and Myers had contacted me with available times including that very evening, no additional fees for a weekend. The tech that arrived was really friendly and professional and got the job done quickly and below the amount I had prepared myself to pay. Will definitely use again if needed!
