I just bought a house with a gas hookup for the dryer, but did not realize that when purchasing an electric dryer.
The builder says the laundry room was built for a gas dryer after purchasing the electrical one.
At this point we may not be able to return it what can i do and how much would it cost?

If i assume correctly you do not have a 220v outlet for your electric drier.
The most economical thing to do is Sell the electric drier and buy a gas drier. You may loose a little money selling it but it will likely be more of a loss/expense to pay to have a new outlet installed.
The gas drier is (probably) going to have a lower energy cost to operate and the cost of Having an electrician install a 220v drier outlet MAY be a significant expense. (for a variety of reasons)
We can not tell you what it would cost, you can get an electrician to give your an estimate to find out.
