When homeowners plan a laundry-room upgrade, the first question is almost always the same: “How much is a new gas dryer after everything is tallied up?” At CountBricks, we answer that within seconds using our AI voice estimating platform. This article walks you through the typical residential numbers we see in the field, the variables that drive those numbers, and the ways CountBricks can tighten your budget and timeline.
Across thousands of CountBricks residential estimates, a mid-range 7.0 cu.ft. gas dryer with standard hookups lands between $1,050 and $1,800 installed. That figure combines appliance cost, labor, venting, gas line work, and permits. High-efficiency or smart models can push the total closer to $2,400, while basic builder-grade units installed in a laundry closet may dip just under $1,000.
Appliance Cost
• Builder-grade 6.5 cu.ft. vented unit: $550–$650
• Mid-range 7.0 cu.ft. Energy Star unit: $650–$900
• Premium 7.4 cu.ft. steam-assist smart unit: $1,000–$1,400
Delivery & Removal
• Standard curbside drop-off: $0–$50
• White-glove delivery with haul-away of old dryer: $60–$120
Gas & Vent Hookups
• Existing compliant gas stub & vent within 5 ft: $150–$250 labor
• New ½-in CSST gas run up to 15 ft: $250–$450 labor + $3–$4/ft material
• Rigid metal vent relocation or extension: $180–$300 labor + $40–$90 parts
Electrical Requirements
• Standard 120 V outlet in place: $0
• Add new GFCI outlet: $120–$180
Permits & Inspection
• Typical residential mechanical permit (NY metro average): $65–$120
• Inspection scheduling & close-out handled by CountBricks: $80–$150
No two laundry rooms are identical. When CountBricks estimators capture real-time voice notes on site or over video, we run those variables through our database of regional costs. Five factors create most of the spread:
1. Appliance tier and special features
2. Distance to existing gas line and vent outlet
3. Necessity of framing modifications for vent routing
4. Local permitting requirements
5. Home access—third-floor walk-ups add labor time
Instead of scribbling notes and emailing suppliers, contractors using CountBricks simply speak: “7-foot CSST run, relocate vent 3 ft to left, install mid-range Energy Star gas dryer.” Our engine converts that conversation into a full material list and labor set pulled from live pricing feeds.
Key Advantages
• Live appliance pricing updated daily
• Regional labor rates calibrated from 10,000+ verified invoices
• Automatic code checks for vent length and slope
• Permitting fees pre-loaded for every zip code
1. Capture voice or video walkthrough
2. AI generates line-item estimate in under 60 seconds
3. Contractor reviews, tags preferred appliances, and edits scope
4. CountBricks produces branded PDF quote for the homeowner
5. Approved scope converts to purchase orders and field tasks
While a basic vented gas dryer meets most needs, residential clients often choose upgrades that raise both performance and budget.
Steam Refresh Function (+$160–$220)
• Reduces wrinkles, appeals to high-end remodels
Smart Integration (+$120–$200)
• Wi-Fi control, maintenance alerts; add low-voltage hub wiring if signal weak
Internal Vent Booster Fan (+$90–$140)
• Required when vent runs exceed 35 ft equivalent
• Keep vent under 25 ft with minimal elbows to avoid booster fans and inspection delays
• Schedule dryer installation during broader remodel to share permit fees with other trades
• Select a mid-tier Energy Star model—energy savings offset the small premium within three years

A recent CountBricks project involved a 1901 brownstone in Park Slope. The homeowner wanted to replace an electric dryer with a high-efficiency gas model to cut drying time and lower utility bills.
• Demo existing electric dryer and cap 240 V circuit
• Extend ½-in black iron gas line 12 ft through finished basement ceiling
• Install rigid 4-in metal vent with two elbows and new exterior flap
• Deliver and set a 7.4 cu.ft. smart steam gas dryer
The CountBricks AI generated an initial estimate of $1,725:
• Appliance: $1,120
• Gas line materials & labor: $320
• Vent reroute: $180
• Permit & inspection: $105
After field verification, only a single elbow was needed, trimming $35 from materials. The final invoice closed at $1,690—just 2 percent under the AI projection. Both contractor and homeowner praised the accuracy, noting that traditional manual estimating previously took half a day and averaged 10 percent variance.
• Early AI takeoffs flagged vent length over 25 ft, prompting a layout change that avoided adding a booster fan and saved $140.
• Voice notes captured ceiling joist orientation, allowing CountBricks to auto-select flexible CSST instead of rigid pipe—cutting install time by an hour.
• The homeowner used the CountBricks.com client portal to approve the scope digitally, shaving two days off the project timeline.
