- Brand reputation: Choosing a dryer from a reliable brand gives you confidence in your purchase.
- Energy savings: For a smaller electricity bill and less environmental impact, choose a dryer with efficient technology, or EnergyStar® certification.
- Performance: Dryers have a range of performance enhancing features to speed drying time, prevent wrinkles, and reduce allergens and bacteria.

FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions about electric clothes dryers.
Do Electric Dryers Use a Lot of Electricity?
Much more efficient than dryers in the past, modern electric dryers do use more energy than some other household appliances. By choosing energy efficient models, following good laundry practices, and drying at affordable times of day, you can enjoy the benefits of an electric clothes dryer without much increase in your electricity bill.
Are New Electric Dryers More Energy Efficient?
Most modern electric dryers are built with energy efficiency in mind. With improved materials, efficient motors, and tech-driven features, modern dryers achieve better results using less energy than past models. Dryers with EnergyStar® certification are noted for their efficiency and focus on reducing energy consumption.
Is It Cheaper to Do Laundry at Night or During the Day?
Many energy companies have different tariffs for “peak” hours and “off-peak” hours. Take a look at your power company’s bill or website to see when their prices are at their lowest. For many households, the cheapest time to consume electricity is overnight on weekdays, after 11 pm and before 7 am. By using energy-efficient appliances, laundry is more affordable at any time of day.
Why Trust Urner's and Urner's Mattress?
Urner’s started on the back of a bicycle - yup! A bicycle! David E. Urner, a local high school teacher, who spent his summer months selling Wear Ever cookware off the back of a bicycle (think 100+ degrees). David teamed up with another local teacher, Errol P. Janes to create “a new type of store – one that would cater exclusively to providing an easier way of living for the women of Kern County”, and on September 19, 1919, Home Appliance Store was opened to the public. The store boasted a rather impressive selection of “modern” appliances, including a washing machine, a freezer, a gas range, an automatic dishwasher, and an assortment of small appliances. Since then, Urner’s has expanded selections to appliances, furniture, mattresses and cabinetry!
For nearly one century, the Urner family and Urner’s business have both been an integral part of Bakersfield and Kern County, with contributions to community (Better Business Bureau, Sister City Projects, Bakersfield Symphony), charity (Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Dream Home, House of Hope) and education (CSU Bakersfield, Ray Dezember Leadership Development Center.
