Heat Pump Tumble Dryers
Heat pump tumble dryers are equipped with advanced energy-saving technologies that conserve and reuse the air extracted from your laundry. These tumble dryers might be more expensive in the beginning but they're an excellent choice for anyone looking to save money and do their part to help the environment.
They are also less expensive to run than vented or condenser models. In fact, they can help you save PS42 to PS51 each year on your energy costs.
They're cheaper to operate
Because they require less energy to dry your clothes the tumble dryers with heat pump s are a lot less expensive to run than condenser models vented or vented. They reuse warm air, making them more eco-friendly. In fact, if you choose an A-rated model such as the Bosch H-DRY 500 (Heat pump) (Heat pump) Hoover Direct that's equipped with smart connectivity and a smartphone app, you could save as much as PS91 annually on your electricity bills.
It's true that heat pump dryers are more expensive to purchase up front than other types of tumble dryers. However they are able to pay for themselves through lower energy bills in a matter of minutes - particularly this winter with the highest prices for a long time.
In contrast to condenser and vented tumble dryers, which release warm air once they've completed their drying process they recycle it back into the drum. They are more efficient, and they cost less to run. In fact they can be as much as 50% less expensive.
They also help protect your clothes because they operate at lower temperatures. The heat can shrink fabrics and cause necklines to be distorted or damage prints. But your clothes will remain beautiful for longer with a heat pump tumble dryer.
Another advantage of the tumble dryers with heat pumps is that they don't have to be connected to the plumbing. They store water in a reservoir that you can empty into your sink, which lets you put them in any place in your garage or home which means you can place them near the socket.
Although they may take longer to dry your laundry than condenser or vented tumble dryers, they often have built-in sensors that shut off the dryer when it's done and you don't have to fret about letting your clothes hang too long. They'll tell you when your tank is full so you can empty it prior to the next wash.
Be aware that tumble dryers are more prone to sensitivity and won't be able to dry all fabrics. This is because they run at a lower temperatures. Certain fabrics, like wool and silk, won't dry properly.
They're better for clothes
Contrary to condenser models and vented models, heat pump tumble dryers do not require vents on the outside. This allows them to be more flexible when it comes to placing them in your home, particularly if you live in an apartment where there's no outdoor space available.
A heat pump tumbler also operates at a lower temperature than a traditional tumble dryer. This is beneficial for clothing because it shields them from the wear and tear that comes with tumble drying at high temperature. This will stop your favorite jumpers shrinking or becoming misshaped and distorted, which is a problem when you have many in your wardrobe.
The tumble dryers of a heat pump operate in a slightly unique way by using a closed loop system to recycle conditioned warm air. It achieves the desired temperature by blowing hot air through a heating component before passing it over an evaporator to remove moisture. This is then stored in tanks or drained away after which it is heated again and then re-directed through the drum to continue drying your laundry.
In this way a heat pump tumbler saves you money by reducing your energy costs and keeps your clothes looking good for longer. The tumble dryers with a heat pump may take a little longer to dry but the benefits outweigh this. It is important to realize that heat pump models require some additional maintenance. The reservoir of water has to be cleaned regularly and the evaporator should be cleaned periodically. You may also find that they're a little slower than a vented dryer at the beginning of the drying process however, this is due to the fact that they operate at a lower temperature.
They're gentler on your clothes
It's not just the environment that benefits from the use of heat pump tumble dryers; they're also gentler on your clothes. They operate at lower temperatures because they don't add any heat to the air. This means that your clothes will not be damaged due to high humidity. This is particularly beneficial for delicates such as wool and silk.
The tumble dryers with a heat pump do not use an exhaust vent to let moist air escape, as the conventional electric dryer would. Instead, they employ an evaporator, which absorbs the moisture in the clothes and removes it. The resulting warm air is then reheated and recirculated, which aids to dry your clothes. This closed loop system means you don't have to worry about removing moisture from your laundry with an external vent, which is another great benefit for those with a limited outdoor space.
The lower temperatures also mean your clothing will last longer as you won't have to re-do them as they shrink or are worn down from repeated drying at high temperatures. The high-end models we offer are designed to be even gentler still, using moisture sensors to calculate the optimal drying time and ensure your clothing is never over or under dried.
Also unlike vented dryers heat pump tumble dryers don't have to be connected to an external vent, which means you can put them in any place in your home. It is also necessary to empty the tank regularly typically after each wash or at least once per month - however this isn't different than any other tumble dryer.
They're quieter
They are quiet, which is one of their main advantages. Compared to standard condenser models they run much more quietly, which makes them ideal for homes with lots of traffic and families. They make use of coolant, which enables them to to operate at lower temperature. This means that clothing will last longer.
It is important to keep in mind that tumble-dryers with heat pumps still make noise. The compressor and fan are typically responsible for this sound. The good news is that noise can be greatly reduced through proper maintenance. This includes making sure that all loose parts are secured, that there's no banging or rattling, and that the machine is properly lubricated, so that whining and screeching sounds are avoided.
Installers can reduce the noise of their heat pump by choosing models that have earned the Quiet Mark approval. These models are known for their industry-leading levels of quietness. Installers can also look for acoustic insulation and liners to reduce the volume of sound produced by the unit. Installers can also make sure that outdoor and indoor heat pump units are placed away from living spaces to minimize the noise.
The heat pumps can be made even quieter by making use of noise reduction technology. Grommets made of rubber around mounts, acoustic liners for cabinets, and ductwork insulation all help to muffle noise from the unit. Inverter-driven air compressors can also be a great help, as they can adjust the speed to prevent the initial surge in energy when they start up which can cause high-pitched noises.
While all mechanical systems make some noise It's important to remember that heating pumps are a far better choice than traditional fossil foil boilers. It's a low-cost option that keeps your clothes looking great and also saves you money. Tumble dryers that use heat provide a greener option. Why not make the switch?
