Heat Pump Dryers: A Must-Have this Winter
Sustainability Around the Home
Want to keep your energy bills lower this winter but don’t know where to start? Look to your laundry room and invest in a Heat Pump Dryer. Perfect for using in winter when there is no sun and a higher chance of rain, Heat Pump Dryers are the desired dryer in many homes thanks to their convenience and high energy efficiency.
A Heat Pump Dryer is a form of condenser dryer which uses recycled air to dry clothes, extracting moisture which is then collected in a condenser container. Since hot air is not constantly being expelled Heat Pump Dryers have higher Energy Ratings and lower consumption than Vented or Condenser Dryers.
Effortless Drying
Condenser and Vented Dryers use higher temperatures to dry your clothes, often reaching a maximum temperature of up to 75°C. Heat Pump Dryers naturally dry at lower temperatures and are gentler on clothing, and they also tend to have more programs to suit various fabrics. Heat Pump Dryers also don’t need to be vented and don’t produce as much heat as Condenser Dryers, this means you can place them anywhere in the house, making them ideal for apartments and homes with low airflow.
