Model
Ge Profile PFD95ES*T***
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*T*** cost to run per year?
Ranking #405 of 615, the Ge Profile PFD95ES*T*** sits in the pricier half of its class to run, at about $113 a year. Normalized for capacity, it beats 75% of clothes dryer models we track, a better-than-average efficiency result. Its CEF of 3.93 reflects combined energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Ge GTD65EBMR*** at $113/yr runs a little cheaper and the Ge Profile PTD90EB*T*** 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*T***'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*T*** 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*T*** 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*T*** 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*T*** 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*T*** 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. Beyond size, its CEF of 3.93, above the class median of 3.93, is the class's own efficiency yardstick, combined energy factor, and it is what separates two similarly sized models with different running costs.
- Heat source and Combined Energy Factor (CEF). CEF combines drying performance with standby and off-mode energy use; for a given drum size, a higher CEF means less energy per pound of laundry dried, and heat-pump models usually post the highest figures in the class.
- Drum capacity. Drum capacity sets how much laundry one cycle can hold, and heating a bigger volume of air generally costs more energy per cycle.
Common questions
Is the Ge Profile PFD95ES*T*** cheap to run?
Not especially. At $113 a year it ranks #405 of 615 clothes dryer models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Ge Profile PFD95ES*T*** cost per month?
Roughly $9.4/mo, spreading the $113/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
We take the model's published annual energy use of 608 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $113 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Ge Profile PFD95ES*T*** 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.
