Heat Pump Tumble Dryers
A heat pump dryer is a great choice when you're looking for dryers that are more environmentally friendly, less expensive to run and gentler on your clothes.
A heat pump dryer functions by absorbing the water from your clothing using hot air and then storing it in a reservoir prior to being used again.
They're more affordable to run
Heat pump tumble dryers use much less energy than condenser models vented or vented since they don't require heat up the air. Instead, they use warm air from the previous cycle and consume electricity for heating the water vapour they draw in from your clothes. In the end, you'll see substantial savings on your energy bills and also helping to protect the environment.
The Adaptive Fan Control automatically adjusts fan speed to help reduce drying time and reduce energy. This will ensure a consistent drying outcome. This ensures that your laundry is dried at a lower temperature, which is better for your clothes and the environment.

The heat pump tumble dryer is an innovation in laundry technology that elevates your standard tumble dryer to a higher level. It is the highest standard in energy efficiency, gentle fabric treatment, and long-term cost savings.
You may notice that tumble dryers typically cost a little more upfront, but the amount you'll save on your electricity bills quickly increases. Plus, they will dry your clothes with a gentle touch, which will make them last longer.
In a tumble dryer with a heat pump the moist and warm air is blown through the drum. This air is then pumped into a tank or reservoir by an evaporator which separates water from dry, hot air. The warm, dry air is then re-used in the drum numerous times throughout the drying cycle.
This process uses considerably less energy than vented and condenser dryers that release the hot air they use to dry into the air, which causes your utility bills to climb. The tumble dryers that are heated operate at lower temperatures, meaning your clothes are protected from wear and tear.
They're cleaner since they don't let excessive moisture enter the home - which helps to limit the growth of mildew and mould. This keeps your clothes cleaner for longer. Heat pump dryers also often have moisture sensors that aid in determining the optimal drying time and stop over drying.
As they are a closed system that is closed, heat pump tumble dryers also produce cooler, dehumidified and cooled air that can keep your home comfortable and even reduce the burden on your cooling or heating system. They are also quieter than other tumble dryers, they can be used in any room of the house.
The tumble dryers with a heat pump are also great since they do not require plumbing. The water is gathered in a tank which can be flushed directly into your sink. This means you can install them in any area in your home, including in a garage or shed. All you need is a power socket close by.
They're more environmentally friendly
A heat pump tumble-dryer is more sustainable than an electric dryer despite the fact that both use electricity to dry laundry. It's because a heating pump dryer uses energy to heat the air that is pumped into its drum, rather than heating the water in it.
This helps reduce the amount of energy consumed and cuts down on your energy costs. Therefore, even though a heat pump tumble dryer could cost more upfront than a traditional tumbler but the long-term savings on your energy bill make it an affordable choice for your home.
In fact the heat pump tumble dryer uses up to 50% less energy than a vented dryer, which makes it the most efficient tumbler available. And, with the unpredictable weather of the UK throwing a wrench in your outdoor drying plans, having a tumbler inside that can dry your clothes at any time you want is an essential purchase for any home.
Additionally, it is more eco-friendly, a heat pump tumble dryer is better for your clothes. The high temperatures of tumble drying can cause damage to fabrics. However, a heat pump tumble dryer does not expose your laundry to the higher temperatures, which means your favourite jumper will last longer and your silk blouse will look gorgeous.
One of the biggest problems that has been linked with tumble drying is the release of microfibers into the environment. When your clothes rub against each other, microfibers are created. These tiny fibres are then shed by your tumbler and be released into our rivers and waterways. According to studies, if you tumble-dry your clothes, you will produce 10 times more microfibers every year than washing them by hand.
Researchers are urging tumble dryers to be fitted with filters that will stop the release of these microscopic fibres into the environment. The tumble dryers that use heat pumps come with a filter designed to capture these microfibers, and this helps to reduce the amount released into our rivers and waterways.
They are easy to move
These tumble dryers made of heat are an excellent option if you're looking to reduce your energy costs and also impact on the environment. They don't make hot air to dry your clothes, but they reuse the warm air already in the dryer and then reclaim the water it draws from your laundry into a simple-to-empty reservoir.
Heat pumps may not be as common as condenser dryers or vented however, if you've got the space and the right environment to use them, they are a great option. They aren't only restricted to vented tumblers that require a vent pipe and placed near an exterior wall to allow the hot air they produce to escape. They can be installed anywhere, so long as you have a constant supply of cool air.
Similar to vented tumble dryers heat pump models can also be freestanding or built into a stud wall, so you'll have plenty of options where you can place your laundry. The models that are heat pump are more convenient to move should you decide to move house since they don't require vent pipe or ducting connections.
While heat pump dryers take a bit longer to dry your laundry than traditional tumble dryers, they're generally just a few seconds longer. In addition, they're less abrasive to your clothes as they dry them at less temperature, which is good news if you have sensitive skin or are concerned about your favorite sweaters getting worn out by the high temperatures.
Heat pump tumble dryers are generally more expensive initially but they can save you money over time, as they can reduce your electricity bills and your environmental impact. If you're considering buying one, make sure you look around and find the lowest price on a model that is suitable for your specific requirements. You'll be grateful you did!
