Are Heat Pump Tumble Dryers Any Good?
Tumble dryers are now a commonplace requirement, allowing us to dry our clothes without waiting for the sun to rise. But have you heard about the heat pump tumble dryer?
They operate at lower temperatures, are less harsh on your clothes and can save you money in the end. But are they worth the extra cost upfront?
They're more efficient
If you're looking for a more efficient tumble dryer then a heat pump dryer is definitely worth looking into. Heat pump models are, unlike vented or condenser dryers that warm the air prior to blowing it around your laundry. They can also make use of the warmth that is extracted from the air during the drying process, which helps them to save energy as well as money for the household.
This is a more efficient method of drying clothes than traditional methods that rely on the use of a gas or oil burner to generate heat and then blowing the heated air through the wet clothes in order to evaporate the moisture. The heat pump dryers are more efficient in energy than tumble dryers of other types, however, they take longer to dry your clothes. This is because they operate at lower temperatures, which allows them to protect your delicate fabrics and help keep them in top condition.
The good news is that heat pump tumble dryers are much faster than hanging your laundry out on the line for washing particularly if you go for the quick cycle setting which can reduce your drying time by up to half an hour. Additionally they're more energy efficient than other types of tumble dry machines when they're able to hold the full load of laundry.
Despite taking longer to dry your laundry however, the fact that heat pump dryers consume less electricity than other tumble dryers means they are much more economical to run. According to Which? research, an energy-efficient heat pump dryer could lower your energy bills by as much as PS43 per year compared with the average condenser or vented tumbler.
If you're looking to dry your laundry quicker and more efficiently, we suggest adding dryer balls to your tumble dryer. This will improve the circulation of warm air through your clothes and help prevent them being damaged by heat. It's also a good idea to clean your lint filter as well, as a clogged one could block airflow and decrease efficiency.
They're more affordable to run
Energy bills can be a significant cost. Making sure your appliances are efficient is a great option to save money. Heat pump tumble dryers use up to 50% less energy than condenser models vented or vented. This is a lot of money saved!
This is due to the fact that they recycle the warm air instead of heating it from scratch, similar to traditional machines. They also operate at lower temperatures, which are not only more cost-effective but also better for your clothes. Hot air can cause fabrics to shrink and necklines to sag and sagging, so keeping your laundry at a lower temperature is gentler on them.
The cost of energy is at its highest in a long time. It is important to maximize your savings on your bills. A heat pump tumbler can help you achieve this and much more. It's estimated that an average vented tumble dryer costs PS1,928 for its operation, whereas an energy-efficient model could cost around PS59 a year!
Additionally they do not require a vent to function. They can be used wherever in the home, even if there is no external wall or gas connection near. Vented and condenser tumble dryers should be placed near an outlet for the hot air they release to escape. This makes it difficult to locate them and even harder to move them if you decide to move house.
It's true that heat-pump tumble dryer s cost more initially than other types of tumble dryers, but the energy savings they provide over the course of their life quickly pay back the initial cost. In addition, with prices steadily coming down as more and more are made, it's worth investing in a heat pump tumble dryer now to reap the benefits in the years to come.
They're quieter
These tumble dryers are quieter as the heat pump technology does not convert warm air into water like vented models. Because they're sealed, they also do not require a vent to let the damp air out making them a great choice for homes in tight spaces where a vent isn't readily accessible.
This also means that they are more peaceful when they're running. This could be a huge benefit for anyone who wants their laundry day to be as relaxing and quiet as is possible!
Another thing to consider is that the drying cycle might take up to 50 percent longer than a traditional tumble dryer, it will be because your clothes are drying at an lower temperature. This won't affect the quality of your clothes, but it will take a little longer to return home and find a pile of clean laundry in your hallway.
One final thing to bear in mind is that as tumble dryers with heat pumps don't 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 your machine isn't suited to their shape. This is usually solved by adding dryer balls to the cycle because they can help loosen and increase the flow of warm air around your clothes and allow dry them efficiently.
The use of heat pump tumble dryers can be a great option for those who wish to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint. However, they are not suitable for everyone. If you want an easier-to-use model, our vented and condenser models will give you great results, without breaking the budget. Our expert sales advisors can assist you in finding the right tumble dryer for your budget and needs, either in-store or over the phone. Why not give us a call to find out more?
They're more environmentally friendly
In contrast to condenser or vented tumble dryers, which require an external vent to allow hot air to escape into the outside world Heat pumps draw warm air from the space they're being used in and re-heat it, so less energy is needed. That's how they're so much more sustainable, reducing your carbon footprint and lowering your energy costs in the long run.
We believe that they're a great investment for both your home and the environment. They are also better for clothes because they dry at lower temperatures and are less likely to cause shrinkage in garments as well as distorted necklines or fade prints on your clothing.
They're more flexible as to the location they can be put also - they don't require to be installed in a plumbing system and the water they absorb is absorbed into an easy-to-empty container, which means you can place them in any location that's convenient for you. You can place them in the garage or a utility room. They're also great for holiday homes.
They are not as fast in drying your laundry but this is because they heat up the warm air instead of creating it every time. This means they'll still be more efficient than vented and condenser dryers in the majority of cases, but with a much lower impact on your energy bills when compared to any other type of tumble dryer.
According to Which?, heat-pump dryers are able to save between PS42 and PS51 per year when in comparison to vented tumble dryers. The heat pump dryer is an excellent choice for any household. They are also more green, consuming up to 50 percent less energy than condenser or vented models.
