The genius home builder put the dryer duct outlet right next to the A/C unit. Lots of lint was in that thing.
My sister's house was built with the dryer duct running from the front of the house, through the basement, and all the way to the back (40 feet or so). Clothes took eons to dry, and forget about running a brush through to clean it.. I went over a number of years ago, punched a hole in the wall next to the dryer, moving the exhaust point to the front wall off their porch. The duct is maybe three feet long. Yeah. It works better, now.
The installation manual usually specs a 6 ft max with flex hose and 20 ft if all isnstraight and smooth bore, and only one, non-flex, large radius, 90. It goes on, "Clean this annually."

I could have about a 16 foot total run if i ran it into the garage... lol. Not about to do that though. I have a spot under an overhang in front on my house that I'd like to move it to. Buy, it would have to have some bends to get it there... my laundry room is in a bad spot, really. I may move it to a better spot at some point. I put a false floor (vinyl) in it in case I want to move it some day.
Wow. Whitey.....Your electric bills are crazy. Even in the middle of the winter, 20 hours of dark (Alaska), my highest bill has been $97 last December. My son leaves his room lights on all the time and 2 tv's are on constantly (Camera system of 4, and internet screen TV). I switched to LED bulbs about 8 years ago. I also have 2 outside pole lights (LED) that are on when it light trips the sensors.
I don't think I'd like paying your UTAH electric bills. Maybe that's just me.
Wait till we all have to go use E.V.'s
We'll remember these electric bills as the good ol days 😉

I believe I am 100% LED now. I just replaced what I think were the two last incandescent bulbs, and those were my garage door opener.

Much nicer than the 90/90 I experienced in OH last week.
White: I just looked at the last 6 months of electric, and I'm right there with you with an average around $140/month. Solar would be nice.
EDIT: I mis-read your number. Whoa!
I'd do solar if it didn't go on my roof. I'm not a fan of that with my current situation with the trees next door. Plus, I am reluctant to put holes in my brand new roof.

All EV's do is move the carbon footprint. It's a racket.
