Sure the fan would be. The dryer is a larger motor. An example: Your dryer probably (should) have a dedicated circuit (breaker, outlet, whatever you want to call it). That way there will be no tripping. For a dedicated outlet that's a max of 1536 W on a 20A circuit. For your fan, you can share the circuit. ie. have 1+ fans running , watching tv, ironing, or whatever.

Also during the summer, the dryer creates a lot of heat that you A/C unit will have to compensate for. So not only are you using energy for the dryer, you using more for the A/C.

I, personally, don't even use a fan. Usually the air is dry and my clothes take a few hours (or overnight) to dry. Try hanging them in doorways, you'll automatically get some air movement.
