Heat Pump Tumble Dryers
These tumble dryers are equipped with the latest energy-saving technologies that conserve and reuse the air drained from your laundry. These tumble dryers might be more expensive upfront but they're an excellent option for anyone who wants to save money while doing their part to protect the environment.
They are less expensive to run than condenser or vented models, too. They can save you between PS42 to PS51 on your annual energy bill.
They're more affordable than other vehicles to run
Tumble dryers with heat pumps are more economical to run as they consume less energy. They recycle warm air, so they're also more eco-friendly. In fact, if you pick 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 can save up to PS91 annually on your electricity bills.
The heat pump dryers are more expensive than other tumble dryers. However, they pay for themselves in reduced energy bills in a matter of minutes - particularly this winter with the prices at their highest for a long time.
Heat pump dryers reuse the warm air back into the drum unlike vented or condenser tumble-dryers that release it after they've finished their drying cycle. This means they're more efficient and less expensive to run - up to 50% less, in fact.
And because they work at lower temperatures, your clothes get better protection too. Heat can shrink fabrics, cause necklines to be misshapen or cause prints to fade. But with a heat-pump tumble dryer, your clothes will look stunning for longer.
They don't require a plumbing connection. They have a reservoir that you can empty and then use in your sink. This lets you install them anywhere, including near an outlet.
Although they may take longer to dry your laundry than condenser or vented tumble dryers, they often come with sensors built-in that stop the machine once it's finished - so you don't have to worry about leaving your clothes in too long. They'll inform you when the tank is full so that you can empty it prior to the next wash.
Be aware that heat pump tumble dryers are more sensitive and won't dry all fabrics. This is because they run at lower temperatures. You'll find that some silk and wool for instance, do not dry properly.
You'll feel more confident in your clothes
In contrast to condenser and vented models, heat pump tumble dryers do not require an external vent. They can be placed anywhere in the house especially if you live in a small apartment with no outdoor space.
Additionally the heat pump tumble dryer operates at a lower temperature than conventional tumble dryers. This is better for your clothes as it shields them from the wear and tear that comes from the high temperature of tumble drying. This helps to keep your favorite clothes from shrinking or becoming sloppy - a real problem if you have a lot of clothes in your wardrobe!
Heat pump tumble dryers work in a slightly unique way by using closed loop technology to recycle conditioned warm air. It reaches the desired temperatures by blowing hot air through a heating element, then passes it over an evaporator in order to remove moisture. This is then put into a tank, or drained away, prior to being reheated and sent through the drum again to dry your clothes.
In this way, a heat pump tumbler saves you money by reducing the cost of energy and keeps your clothes looking great for longer. Although they do take longer to dry than a vented tumble dryer however, the advantages of a heat pump model more than compensate for this. You just need to be aware that they require extra maintenance, due to an water reservoir that requires emptying on a regular basis and the need to clean the evaporator as well as the filters periodically. They might also be a little slower in the beginning of the drying process than vented models, but that's because they operate at the lower temperature.
You'll feel softer on your clothes
Heat pump tumble dryers aren't just more eco-friendly They're also gentle to your laundry. Because they don't add heat to the air, they operate at lower temperatures than vented dryers, which means your clothes will not suffer damage and wear and tear caused by high levels of humidity. This is great news for delicate fabrics like silk and wool.
Instead of letting moist air escape through an exhaust vent as a conventional electric dryer does, heat pump tumble dryers make use of an evaporator that sucks up the water that is in the wet clothing and then removes it from the fabric. The resulting warm air is then reheated and recirculated, which aids to dry your clothes. This closed-loop design means that you don't have to be concerned about removing moisture using an external vent.
Lower temperatures can also make your clothes last longer since you won't have to replace them when they shrink or become damaged from repeated drying in high temperatures. The top models in our collection are designed to be gentler, using moisture sensors to work out the perfect drying time, and make sure your clothing is never over or under dried.
They do not require an external vent or be connected to the wall. They can be placed anywhere in your home. It is also important to empty the dryer's tank regularly, usually after each wash or at least once a month. tumble dryers with heat pump is the same from other tumblers.
They're quieter
They are quiet and quiet, which is among their greatest 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 lets them operate at a lower temperature. This means that clothes last longer.
It's important to remember that heat pump tumble-dryers still produce noise. It's usually caused by the compressor and the fan. The good news is that noise can be significantly reduced with proper maintenance. This means you must tighten any loose parts, ensure that there isn't any banging or rattling, and lubricate the machine to prevent whining or screeching noises.
Installers can reduce the noise of their heat pump by choosing models that have received the Quiet Mark approval. These models are known for their an industry-leading level of quietness. Additionally, installers can look for acoustic liners and insulation to minimise the sound generated by the unit. Installers can also make sure that indoor and outdoor heat pump units are positioned away from living spaces to reduce noise.
The heat pumps can be made quieter by making use of noise reduction technology. Rubber grommets around mounts, Acoustic liners in cabinets, and ductwork insulation assist in reducing noise from the unit. Inverter-driven compressors are also an enormous help since they adjust speed and avoid the initial surge of energy to start up, which usually produces high-pitched noises.
Although all mechanical systems generate some noise, it's worth remembering that a heat pump is an excellent alternative to traditional fossil foil boilers. It's a cost-effective alternative that keeps your clothes looking great and also saves you money. Tumble dryers with heat pumps are also an environmentally sustainable alternative So why not consider making the switch?
