Tumble dryers are a staple in the household and can help us get our laundry dry without waiting for the sun to rise. Have stay with me heard of the heat pump tumble dryers?
They are more gentle on your clothes and they could save you money over time. But are they really worth the extra money upfront?
They're more efficient
The heat pump dryers are a great choice for those who want to save energy. The models that use heat pumps like condenser or vented dryers are able to warm the air prior to blowing it around your laundry. They also have the ability to use and reuse the warmth that is derived from the air during the drying process, helping to conserve energy and also money for the household.
This is a far more efficient method drying clothes than traditional methods which involve using a gas burner or oil burner to generate heat, and then blowing the heated air over the damp clothes in order to evaporate the moisture. It is important to keep in mind that although they are more efficient in energy use than other types of tumble dryers, heat pump dryers can take slightly longer to dry your laundry. They do this because they use lower temperatures to protect delicate fabrics.
The good news is that heat pump tumble dryers are much faster than hanging your laundry on the washing line, especially if you opt for the speedy cycle settings which can reduce your drying time by as much as half an hour. They are also more energy efficient than other tumble dryers when it's time to dry an entire load.
They are less expensive to run, despite the fact that they take longer to dry your clothes. According to Which? research, the use of a heat pump dryer can reduce your energy costs by up to PS43 per year, compared to the average vented or condenser tumble dryer.
If you're looking to dry your laundry even quicker and more efficiently, we recommend adding dryer balls to your tumble dryer. This will boost the flow of warm air over your clothes and help prevent them from being damaged by heat. You should also clean your lint filters regularly, as a clogged filter can reduce airflow and efficiency.
They're more affordable than other vehicles for running
Energy bills can be a significant cost. Making sure your appliances are running efficiently is an excellent way to save money. The tumble dryers that use heat pump technology consume up to 50% less energy per cycle than condenser models vented or vented. That's a huge amount of money saved!
The main reason is that they recycle warm air, rather than heating it from scratch like conventional machines do. They also operate at a lower temperature, which isn't just more cost-effective but also healthier for your clothes. The hot air can shrink fabrics and cause necklines to become unevenly shaped. Therefore, it is best to keep your laundry at a low temperature to avoid causing harm to it.
The cost of energy is at its highest level for a long time. It's important to maximize your savings on your bills. A new tumble dryer that uses a heat pump could help you achieve that and more. It's estimated that a typical energy-hungry vented tumble dryer costs PS1,928 to run, while an energy-efficient model could cost around PS59 a year!
The tumble dryers that use heat pumps do not require a vent for operation. That means they can be used in any room in your home - even when you don't have an external wall or gas line nearby. The hot air emitted by condenser and vented dryers has to be directed away from the drain. This can make them hard to place and even more difficult to move should you ever decide to move your home.
It's true that heat-pump tumble dryers cost more upfront than other kinds of tumble dryer, but the energy savings they make over their lifetime quickly offset any initial outlay. In addition, with prices steadily decreasing as more of them are made, it's worth investing in a heat pump tumbler now to reap the rewards in the years to come.
They're quieter
The technology used in these tumble dryers isn't able to convert warm air into liquid like vented models, which means it's much quieter than other types. As they're sealed, they do not require a vent to release the damp air making them a perfect option for homes that have restricted spaces where venting isn't readily available.
This also means they're less noisy when they're running. This could be a huge benefit for those who want to make laundry day as peaceful and stress-free as possible!
It's also worth noting that your clothes will dry at temperatures lower than those of a tumble dryer, meaning drying can take up to half as long as a tumble dryer. This doesn't alter the condition of your clothes It simply means that you can expect a bit of a wait between getting home from work and opening the door to find an abundance of clean laundry in your hallway!
One last thing to keep in mind is that because the tumble dryers that use heat pumps do not reverse the direction of the drum during the drying cycle, you might occasionally find larger items (such as duvet covers) might appear to be slightly squished up if the machine isn't suited to their shape. This can usually be solved by adding dryer balls to the cycle as these will help to untangle and maximise the circulation of warm air around your clothing, which should help dry your clothes in a more efficient manner.
Heat pump tumble dryers are a great choice for those who want to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint. However, they are not suitable for everyone.

They're also more eco-friendly.
Unlike vented or condenser tumble dryers that require an external vent to allow hot air to escape to the outside world The heat pumps draw warm air from the space they're being used in, and then heat it again, meaning less energy is required. This is why they are more eco-friendly. They reduce your carbon footprint and reduce your the cost of energy.
We believe this makes them a worthwhile investment for your home and the environment. They're also kinder to fabrics, since they dry at lower temperatures, and are thus less likely to cause shrinkage of clothing and sloping necklines, or to damage prints on your garments.
They're more flexible in terms of where they can be placed as well - they don't have to be placed in a puddle and the water they absorb is absorbed into an easy-to-empty reservoir, meaning you can put them in any space that is suitable for you. You can put them in the garage or a utility room. They're also ideal for homes that are rented out to guests.
While they'ren't as fast in getting your laundry dry, this is because they heat the circulating warm air rather than making it from scratch each time. This means they'll be faster than condenser dryers vented or vented in most instances however, they have a lower impact on your energy bills compared to either type of tumble dryer.
Therefore they can save you up to PS42 - PS51 per year when compared to vented tumble dryers, as per Which? which makes them a great choice for any household. They are also more green, consuming up to 50% less energy than vented or condenser models.
