we are moving into a house and we have an washer and electric dryer...there is a gas hookup in the basement for the dryer but i want to know if we can still use our electric dryer instead. i don't really want to pay for a brand new gas dryer as the washer/dryer set is new and was a gift.

Electric dryers usually take a 220 outlet. (It's possible there may be a mini-dryer that uses a standard 110 supply but I suspect that it would be inefficient -- if its exists.) Adding a 220 outlet would be more costly than buying a new dryer especially if additional amps have to be added. Maybe you will get lucky and there will be a 220 outlet in place as well as the gas supply.

We have a gas hookup but have an electric dryer. It's no problem.

You sure can... Just make sure you have someone come in to cap off that gas line...
