Inside drying close on a line

So the dryer uses a huge amount of electricity. 2500 watts, I've hung some horizontal poles in the laundry room from the ceiling, I place wet clothes from the washer on hangers. I have a oscillating fan blowing around. Clothes dry in about a day. In the winter this worked well. in the summer, Im going to try runnin a dehumidifier in the laundry room to sped up the drying do to the increased humidity in the summer. The dryer costs about 75 cents an hour while the dehumidifier is about 8 cents an hour. I just use the dryer little to get towels fluffed etc. I think I'm saving money. sC
