Why Should I Invest in a Heat Pump Dryer?

If you thought drying your clothes was going to cost you money and the Earth, there’s a chance you haven’t heard of Heat Pump Dryers. Perfect for use in winter when you don’t have a lot of sunlight, and great all year round, Heat Pump Dryers are the desired dryer in many homes thanks to their convenience and energy efficiency.

Efficient Drying
Heat Pump Dryers collect warm damp air from your clothes, which is then heated and recirculated to dry your clothes. Any excess damp air is extracted into water that is collected in a ‘tank’.

As the heated air is ‘recycled’ to dry clothes with more gentle and lower temperatures, a Heat Pump Dryer uses less energy and is therefore more efficient and cheaper to run than Vented or Condenser Dryers. Heat Pump Dryers often have high Energy Ratings between 6 to 10 stars.

No Venting Required
Vented Dryers which are the traditional choice, use high temperatures and heated air to dry your clothes with moisture being the result. As such, the moisture must be moved outside, with venting to the dwelling’s exterior required. Seeing as Heat Pump Dryers ‘recycle’ the air with water collected, there is no venting required, making them the ideal choice for all types of homes, including studio apartments, granny flats and small homes.
