Heat Pump Tumble Dryers
Heat pump tumble dryers use advanced energy-saving technology to conserve and reuse the air they extract from your laundry. They might cost more upfront, but they are a great choice for anyone who wants to save money on their energy bills while doing their bit to help the environment.
They are also less expensive to run than vented or condenser models. In fact, they could help you save PS42 to PS51 a year on your energy bill.
They're less expensive than other vehicles for running
Since they consume less energy to dry your clothes, heat pump tumble dryers are much less expensive to run than condenser or vented models. They recycle warm air, making them much greener. In fact, if you choose an A-rated model, such as the Bosch H-DRY 500 (Heat pump) - Hoover Direct that's equipped with smart connectivity and a smartphone application, you could save up to PS91 annually on your electricity bills.
They can be more expensive than other tumble dryers. However they will pay for themselves in reduced energy bills in a matter of minutes especially in winter when the prices at their highest for years.
Heat pump dryers reuse the warm air back into the drum, unlike vented or condenser tumble-dryers which release it once they've completed their drying process. This means they're more efficient and less expensive to run - by up to 50% less in actual.
And because they work at lower temperatures, your clothes receive better protection too. Hot air can shrink fabrics and cause necklines to become misshapen or fade prints. But your clothes will remain beautiful for longer with a heater tumble dryer.
They do not require a plumbing connection. They store water in a reservoir you can empty into your sink, which lets you install them anywhere in your garage or at home and put them near an outlet.
They might take a little longer to dry your clothes than vented or condensation tumble dryers. However, they are often equipped with sensors that stop the machine once it is finished. heat-pump tumble dryer means you don't have to be concerned about letting them in for too long. They'll even let you know when the tank is empty, so you can empty it prior to your next wash.
It's worth remembering that because the tumble dryers that run on heat pump operate at a lower temperature and are more sensitive to other tumble dryer and will not dry every type of fabric. You'll find that some wool and silk, for example, will not dry properly.
They're better for your clothes
Unlike vented and condenser models the heat pump tumble dryers do not require an external vent. This allows them to be more flexible when it comes to placing them in your home, especially if you reside in an apartment where there's no outdoor space.
A heat pump tumbler also operates at a lower temperature than a conventional tumble dryer. This is more beneficial for your clothes, as it protects them from wear and tear that is caused by high temperatures for tumble drying. This will stop your favorite sweaters from shrinking or changing shape and distorted, which is a problem when you have many in your wardrobe.
Heat pump tumble dryers work in a distinctive way that utilizes a closed loop system to recycle conditioned warm air. It is able to reach the desired temperature by blowing air through a heating element, then it passes the hot air over an evaporator to eliminate moisture. This is then stored in tanks or drained away, before being re-heated and then re-directed through the drum to continue drying your laundry.
A tumble dryer with a heat pump will help you save money on your energy bills and will keep your clothes looking great for longer. Although they do take longer to dry than a vented tumble dryer, the benefits of a heat pump model more than make up for this. It is important to know that heat pump models require some additional maintenance. The water reservoir has to be cleaned regularly, and the evaporator must be cleaned regularly. They may also be a bit slower in the beginning of drying as compared to vented models but that's because they operate at temperatures that are lower.
They're gentler on your clothes.
These tumble dryers that use heat pumps aren't just more eco-friendly They're also gentle to your laundry. They run at lower temperatures since they don't add any heat to the air. This means that your clothes won't be damaged by high humidity. This is especially good news for delicate materials like silk and wool.
Instead of letting damp air escape through an exhaust vent like a conventional electric dryer does heat pump tumble dryers employ an evaporator which absorbs the water in the wet clothes and extracts it from the fabric. The warm air that is generated is then reheated which aids in drying your clothes. This closed loop system means that you won't have to worry about getting rid of the moisture from your laundry using an external vent, which is a major benefit for those with limited outdoor space.
The lower temperatures also mean your clothes will last longer as you won't have to do them again when they shrink or get worn out from drying repeatedly at high temperatures. The most expensive models we offer are designed to be even gentler still, using moisture sensors to determine the ideal drying time and ensure your clothing is never over or under dried.
Also unlike vented dryers heat pump tumble dryers don't need to be connected to an external vent, so you can place them anywhere in your home. You'll also have to empty the tank regularly - usually after every wash, or at least once per month, but this is no different than any other tumble dryer.
They're quieter
One of the main benefits of using heat pump tumble dryers is that they don't make much noise. They are more quiet than conventional condenser dryers. This makes them ideal for homes with families or busy schedules. They also use coolant which allows them to operate at lower temperatures, which means clothes will last longer and not be subjected to the annoying shrinkage that can happen with conventional tumble dryers.
It is important to keep in mind that tumble-dryers with heat pumps still produce noise. This is usually due to the compressor and fan. The good thing is that the noise can be significantly reduced with proper maintenance. This means that you should tighten any loose parts, make sure that there is no rattling and banging, and lubricate the machine in a way that prevents whining or screeching noises.
Installers can minimize the noise of their heat pump by choosing models that have been awarded the Quiet Mark approval. These models are known to operate at an industry-leading level of quietness. In addition, installers can look for acoustic liners and insulation to minimize the sound generated by the unit. Installers should also ensure that indoor and outdoor heat pump units are located away from living areas to minimize noise.
Noise reduction technology is also available to make heat pumps quieter. Rubber grommets on mounts, acoustic cabinets, and insulation inside ductwork are all able to reduce noise. Inverter-driven compressors are also an enormous help since they can be adjusted to speed and avoid the initial surge of energy needed at the beginning of operation, which typically creates high-pitched sounds.
Although all mechanical systems make some noise, a heating system is a superior choice than the traditional fossil foil boilers. It's an efficient alternative that saves you money and keeps your clothes looking good. Tumble dryers with heat pumps are also a more environmentally friendly alternative and so why not think about making the switch?
