Heat Pump Tumble Dryer

Heat pump tumble dryers absorb moisture from your laundry using warm air. The heated air is then used to continue drying.

They don't require a vent, and can be installed anywhere in the house. They do need a reservoir to store water however, so this might be an option for those who live in a flat.

They're cheaper to operate

The name suggests that the tumble dryers that use heat pump technology draw heat from the air to dry your clothes. This means they don't need to generate their own heat, which is a good choice for the environment and your wallet. This is an extremely efficient method to dry your laundry, reducing the amount of energy used by as much as 70% when compared to vented models.

Heat pump tumble dryers work by recycling the heated air that goes through the laundry. The air is then circulated through an evaporator that eliminates moisture and then leaves it in a tank inside your tumble dryer. This tank is then reheated and the process repeated, absorbing more water from your clothes with every run. The moisture is then split into two parts that is warm air and water and the water is stored in a tank that is easy to empty beneath your tumble dryer and the warm air being reused by the evaporator over and over again.

This method of drying is slower than other tumble dryers, but it's still more efficient than traditional methods. Ventilated dryers consume a lot of energy and vented tumble dryers that claim to be energy efficient can leave you with huge electricity bills if you're not cautious. Heat pump tumble dryers are also much more environmentally sustainable than conventional tumble dryers, which is a big deal in the world where climate change is a major issue.

When purchasing a new tumble dryer, you have to consider many factors, including the cost, size, and energy efficiency. Ultimately the heat pump tumble dryers are the most environmentally friendly and cheapest to run and are followed by condenser dryers and vented tumble dryers.

A tumble dryer can ease your life and save you from having to wait for your clothes to dry in the sun or on the washing line. It's also better for your health when you hang your clothes in the rain can lead to mould and mildew in your home, which is detrimental to respiratory ailments like asthma and allergies.

They're better for clothes

Traditionally tumble dryers relied upon hot air blowing across the tumbling clothing to dry them. This worked well enough, but used much energy - especially when used for frequent or large loads. The heat pump tumble dryer is a less energy-intensive alternative due to technological advances in laundry equipment.

A heat pump tumbler operates using a closed loop system. Contrary to condenser and vented tumble dryers that release hot air that they make use of to dry your clothes and clothes, a heat pump tumble dryer uses the same air and is a great alternative for those who aren't able to discharge their laundry.

The tumble dryers with heat pumps have additional features which make them environmentally friendly and more user-friendly. They're also generally more efficient than the majority of tumble dryers. If you have Wi-Fi available at home or you prefer Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant you can control the dryer remotely via apps on your smartphone.

Anti-crease functions are becoming more common. It keeps your clothes gently tumbling after your wash is finished, so creases don't form as quickly. Some models also have an option to delay the process so you can wash your clothes at a time that suits your needs. This is great for taking advantage of peak solar electricity production during the daytime, or ensuring your laundry finishes at a time that is convenient for you (though you should never run your washer dryer heat pump when you're away from home because of the risk of fires).

The tumble dryers that use heat pumps come with an energy rating that will show how much energy they use per cycle. You can cut down on your energy bills by choosing a dryer with a high energy rating. You might want to look for a heat-pump tumble dryer that has Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can control it via an app on your phone or voice commands via your smart home assistant.

They're greener

Heat pump tumble dryers have become a popular choice as the demand for eco-friendly appliances rises. They are more energy efficient than traditional tumble dryers and they're less damaging to fabrics. This means they are more sustainable in the long-term. If you add in the savings you can make on your energy bills, a heat pump tumble dryer is an essential item for any modern-day home.

While traditional tumble dryers have an exhaust vent that lets out hot air from the drum, a heat-pump tumble dryer does not need to do this as it recycles the heated air. It is equipped with a compressor that heats refrigerant, which warms the air before it passes it through an evaporator to eliminate moisture from it. The heated air is then cooled and then used to dry your clothing.

It is much more eco-friendly to recycle air rather than to simply exhaust it from your home. It's the same process that your fridge employs to keep its contents cool.

Heat pump tumble dryers are among the most eco friendly models available. They reduce their energy consumption to around 75% when compared to conventional tumble dryers by reusing the hot air already inside the drum. This can help you reduce your electric bill as well as reduce the carbon footprint.

Not only that, they're also less abrasive to your clothes. This is due to their lower drying temperatures, meaning you don't have to fret about your favourite jumper shrinking or stretching out of shape in the process.

Heat pump tumble dryers can be moved more easily than vented models. These models require a vent pipe to exhaust their hot air. This means they can be moved from one rooms within your home or even into a garage or shed. The machine collects all the moisture in a tank that is easy to empty. This makes it a great option for those with little space or who cannot rely on the weather.

They're easy to move

If you think about it your old vented washer dryer heat pump is pretty simple - a sheet of metal box with four parts (the heater, motor timer, fan and motor). The tumble dryers that use heat pump have a lot more to offer and, consequently, they also have a lot more complex components and different sophisticated technologies to make them more energy efficient.

As such, they are quite heavy - but at the same they don't occupy as much space as you might imagine, thanks to the way they use compressed air to store heat and reheat it, rather than venting out humid air as your traditional tumble dryer does. This makes them easy to move should you need to reposition them or make improvements to your laundry room.

Electric heat pump dryers are closed systems, which means they don't require vent ducting and can be installed in smaller rooms than condenser dryers vented or vented. They are great for those living in apartments that do not have a dedicated laundry area. However, they need a constant supply of cool air to function, so they're still better suited for areas with adequate ventilation than condenser and vented tumble dryers.
