Model
Ge Profile PFD95ES*W***
Rank #405 means 404 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 75th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 75% of those models.
What does the Ge Profile PFD95ES*W*** cost to run per year?
Among the 615 clothes dryer models we track, the Ge Profile PFD95ES*W***'s $113/yr running cost ranks it #405, in the above-average-cost group. Size-adjusted, this model beats 75% of clothes dryer models we track on efficiency, better than most of its class. Its CEF of 3.93 reflects combined energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Electrolux ELFE773C*** at $113/yr runs a little cheaper and the Samsung DVE52DG5505* at $113/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A clothes dryer typically stays in service for somewhere around 13 years; over that span, the Ge Profile PFD95ES*W***'s $113/yr adds up to roughly $1469 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Ge GFD35ES*Y***.
By the numbers
The Ge Profile PFD95ES*W*** normalized against its whole class, so each figure means something.
What it costs you over time
Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $113/yr, here is what the Ge Profile PFD95ES*W*** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Ge Profile PFD95ES*W*** costs about $1130. That is roughly $0 less than the class median, which would run closer to $1130 over the same ten years.
How the Ge Profile PFD95ES*W*** compares
The clothes dryer class we track runs from $23 to $128 a year. At $113/yr, it sits right on the class median of $113, and it is about $90 a year more than the cheapest clothes dryer to run at $23.
What drives its running cost
At 7.8 cu ft, the Ge Profile PFD95ES*W*** is a large clothes dryer for its class, which spans 3.8 to 9.2 cu ft with a median of 7.4 cu ft, among clothes dryer models, bigger capacity is the most common reason a running-cost figure lands on the high side, all else being equal. Its CEF of 3.93, above the class median of 3.93, reflects combined energy factor: a higher figure means it wrings more useful work out of every kilowatt-hour, so it is the efficiency lever to weigh against raw size.
- Heat source and Combined Energy Factor (CEF). Heat-pump dryers recycle heat instead of generating it fresh with a resistance coil, and typically use meaningfully less electricity per load than a conventional resistance dryer, at the cost of a longer cycle; CEF is the federal figure that captures this.
- Drum capacity. A larger drum can dry a bigger load per cycle, but it also usually needs more energy per cycle to heat the extra air volume.
Common questions
Is the Ge Profile PFD95ES*W*** cheap to run?
Its $113/yr running cost, rank #405 of 615, is above what most clothes dryer models we track cost to run, so this is not one of the cheaper picks on electricity alone.
How much does the Ge Profile PFD95ES*W*** cost per month?
About $9.4 a month, which is the $113 annual estimate spread across twelve months at the US average rate of $0.1856/kWh. Your own bill scales with your local electricity rate and how heavily you use it.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
The formula is annual kWh times price per kWh: 608 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $113 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Ge Profile PFD95ES*W*** for its size?
75th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is a real factor in the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
