Heat Pump Tumble Dryers
Heat pump tumble dryers use advanced energy-saving technology to preserve and reuse the air they extract from your laundry. These tumble dryers might be more expensive initially but they're an excellent option for anyone who wants to save money while doing their part for 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.

Heat pump dryers can be more expensive than other tumble dryers. However they will are able to pay for themselves through lower energy costs quickly especially this winter, with prices at their highest levels for a long time.
Heat pump dryers reuse the warm air back into the drum unlike condenser tumble-dryers vented or vented which release it once they've completed their drying process. They are more efficient and they cost less to operate. In fact, they can be up to 50% less expensive.
They also protect your clothes better since they operate at lower temperatures. Hot air can shrink fabrics and cause necklines to become misshapen or fade prints. However, your clothes will stay beautiful for longer when you use a heat pump tumble dryer.

This helps to keep your favorite jumpers from shrinking or forming a wavy shape - a real problem especially if you have lots of them in your wardrobe!
A heat pump tumble dryer operates in a different way from a normal dryer, using a closed-loop system to recycle warm air. It reaches the desired temperature by blowing air over an element that heats it, and then it passes the hot air over an evaporator in order to remove moisture. This is then stored in the tank or drained after which it is heated again and then re-directed through the drum to continue drying your laundry.
A tumble dryer with a heat pump will save you money on your energy bills, and will keep your clothes looking good for a longer time. They may take a little longer to dry, but the benefits far outweigh this. You just need to be aware that they need a bit extra maintenance, with a water reservoir that needs emptying frequently and the requirement to clean the evaporator as well as the filters frequently. It's also possible to 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

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 good news for delicate fabrics like wool and silk.
The tumble dryers with a heat pump do not use an exhaust vent to let moist air out, as the conventional electric dryer would. Instead, they employ an evaporator, which absorbs the moisture in the clothes and removes it. The resultant warm air is then heated and recirculated, which helps to dry your clothes. This closed loop design means that you do not have to worry about removing moisture using an external vent.
The lower temperatures also mean your clothing will last longer because you won't have to re-do them when they shrink or get worn out from drying repeatedly at high temperatures. The high-end models in our collection are designed to be even gentler, using moisture sensors to determine the perfect drying time, and make sure your clothes are never over or under dried.
Heat pump tumble dryers do not require an external vent or to be connected to the wall. They can be positioned anywhere in your house. You will also need to empty the dryer's tank frequently, usually after every wash or at least once a month. This is just the same from any other tumbler.
They're quieter
They are quiet and quiet, which is among their main advantages. They are quieter than standard condenser dryers. This makes them ideal for families and homes with busy schedules. They utilize coolant, which lets them operate at a lower temperature. This means that clothes last longer.
However, it's important to keep in mind that heat pump tumble dryers are still able to make a noise. The compressor and fan are typically responsible for this sound. However, the good news is that noise can be significantly reduced with proper maintenance. This means that you need to tighten any loose parts, make sure that there is no rattling and banging, and lubricate the machine in a way that prevents the noise of screeching or whining.
To minimize the sound, installers should select heat pump models that are Quiet Mark approved as they have been proven to provide industry leading levels of quiet operation. Installers can also search for acoustic insulation and lines to minimize the noise of the unit. They can also ensure that the indoor and outdoor heat pumps are located away from living areas, to keep noise to a minimum.
Noise reduction technology is also available to make heat pumps quieter. Grommets made of rubber around mounts, Acoustic liners in cabinets, and ductwork insulation assist in reducing noise from the unit. Inverter-driven air compressors are an excellent option, since they can be adjusted to speed and prevent the initial surge in energy required when starting up that often causes high-pitched sounds.
While all mechanical systems produce some noise, a heat pump is a much better option over the traditional fossil foil boilers. It's a low-cost option that keeps your clothes looking nice and saves you money. Heat pump tumble dryers are also a more eco sustainable option So why not consider making the switch?
