Heat Pump Tumble Dryers
The tumble dryers that are heated by a heat pump are equipped with advanced energy-saving technologies that help you save and reuse the air extracted from your laundry. They may cost more upfront, but they're an excellent choice for those wanting to save money on their energy bills while doing their bit for the environment.
They are more affordable to run than vented or condenser models too. They can save you between PS42 to PS51 on your annual energy bill.
They're less expensive than other vehicles to run
Because they require less energy to dry your clothes The tumble dryers that are heated are far cheaper to run than vented or condenser models. They recycle warm air, so they're also more eco-friendly. In fact, if you select an A-rated model like the Bosch H-DRY 500 (Heat pump) - Hoover Direct that's equipped with smart connectivity and a smartphone application, you can save up to PS91 a year on your electricity bills.
They can be more expensive than other tumble dryers. However they will are able to pay for themselves through lower energy bills in no time at all especially this winter, with the highest prices for years.
The heat pump dryers recycle the warm air back into the drum, unlike condenser tumble-dryers vented or vented, which release it when they've completed their drying cycle. This means they're more efficient and cheaper to run, up to 50% less in actual.
And because they work at lower temperatures, your clothes will have better protection, too. Hot air can shrink fabric and cause necklines to become misshapen or damage prints - but your clothing will last longer with a heat pump tumble dryer.
The tumble dryers with a heat pump do not require plumbing connections. They store water in a reservoir that you can empty into your sink, which allows you to install them anywhere in your garage or home which means you can place them near an outlet.
While they take a little longer to dry your laundry than vented or condenser tumble dryers, they often have built-in sensors that shut off the dryer when it's done - so you don't have to fret about letting your clothes sit too long. They'll also let you know when the tank is full so you can empty it before the next wash.
Be aware that heat pump tumble dryer s are more sensitive and won't dry all types of fabrics. This is due to them operating at lower temperatures. Certain fabrics, like silk and wool, don't dry in a proper manner.
You'll feel better about your clothes
Heat pump tumble dryers do not require an external vent, unlike condenser and vented models. They can be put anywhere in the house especially if you live in an apartment with no outdoor space.
Additionally, a heat pump tumble dryer operates at a much lower temperature than conventional tumble dryers. This is more beneficial for clothes since it guards against the wear and tear that is associated when drying clothes at a high temperatures. This can help keep your favourite clothes from shrinking or becoming misshapen - a real problem when you have a lot of clothes in your wardrobe!
A heat pump tumble dryer is operated in a different way from a normal dryer, employing a closed-loop system to recycle warm air. It is able to reach the desired temperature by blowing hot air through a heating component, then passes it over an evaporator to remove moisture. This is then put into a tank or drained off, before being reheated before being transferred to the drum to dry your clothes.
A tumble dryer with a heat pump will help you save money on your energy bills, and will keep your clothes looking great for a longer time. They might take a bit longer to dry, but the benefits far outweigh this. It is just important to be aware that they require more maintenance, including an water reservoir that requires emptying frequently and the requirement to clean the evaporator as well as the filters regularly. You may also find that they're a little slower than a vented dryer at the start of the drying process, but this is because they operate at a lower temperature.
They're gentler on clothes.
Heat pump tumble dryers are not just better for the environment, but they're also kinder to your laundry. Because they don't add heat to the air, they operate at lower temperatures than vented dryers, meaning your clothes will not suffer wear and tear caused by high levels of humidity. This is particularly beneficial for delicates such as silk and wool.
The tumble dryers that use heat pump do not use an exhaust vent to let the moist air out, as an electric dryer does. Instead, they employ an evaporator which absorbs the moisture inside the clothes and removes it. The resulting warm air is then reheated and circulated, helping to dry your clothes. This closed-loop design means you do not have to worry about removing moisture with an external vent.
The lower temperatures also mean that your clothes will last longer since you won't need to wash them over and over again as they shrink or are damaged from repeated drying at high temperatures. The high-end models in our collection are designed to be even gentler, using moisture sensors to calculate the optimal drying time, and make sure your clothes are never over or under dried.
Heat pump tumble dryers do not require an external vent or to be plugged into the wall. They can be placed anywhere in your house. You'll also have to drain the tank on a regular basis typically after each wash or at least once a month, however, this isn't any different from any other tumble dryer.
They're quieter
One of the biggest benefits of using heat pump tumble dryers is that they don't make much noise. In comparison to conventional condenser models, they run much more quietly, which makes them ideal for homes with a lot of activity and families. They make use of coolant, which lets them run at lower temperatures. This means that clothes will last longer.
However, it's important to keep in mind that tumble dryers with heat pumps can still produce some noise. The compressor and fan are usually responsible for this sound. The good thing is that noise could be reduced significantly with regular maintenance. This means you must tighten any loose parts, ensure that there is no banging or rattling, and lubricate the machine to prevent making screeching or whining noises.
To minimize the sound, installers should select heat pumps that are Quiet Mark approved as they have been shown to offer the highest levels of silence in operation. Additionally, installers should search for acoustic liner and insulation to minimize the sound of the unit. They can also ensure that the outdoor and indoor heat pumps are located away from living areas, to reduce noise.
Noise reduction technology is also available to make heat pumps quieter. Grommets made of rubber on mounts, Acoustic cabinets, and insulation within ductwork are all able to reduce noise. Inverter-driven air compressors are also a great help, as they can be adjusted to speed and prevent the initial surge in energy required when starting up that can result in loud sounds.
Although all mechanical systems make some noise, a heat pump is a much better option over the traditional fossil foil boilers. It's a cost-effective alternative that keeps your clothes looking good and also saves you money. Tumble dryers that use heat offer a more eco-friendly option. Why not make the switch?
