If you want to reduce your energy costs, it might be worth switching to a heating-pump tumble dryer.

The heat pump tumble dryers operate by reheating air that was already warmed up during the drying process. This results in significantly lower energy costs than models that are vented or condenser. This type of tumble-dryer uses only half the energy as vented or condenser models, allowing you to save up to PS173 on your utility bills each year.

When you compare the cost of a heat pump tumble dryer with other models, the difference is usually minimal. It is important to consider the amount of energy used and how often you use your tumble dryers with heat pump dryer. It is important to take into account the wattage of your machine and also your electricity tariff which will determine the amount you have to pay for each tumble dry.

Vented tumble dryers make use of gas to dry the laundry and are powered by gas from the mains and are therefore more expensive when you're on a strict budget. They are also more limited in their installation locations because they need to be placed in a room with appropriate ventilation to get rid of the damp air.

Condenser dryers take moisture out of the laundry by moving hot air into an individual condensing unit which converts it into water. The water can be drained into a removable container which must be manually empty or pumped into your drainage system to eliminate it constantly. This allows you to install the system in a variety of places. However, you'll have to perform extra maintenance on the drain pipe.

Energy efficiency

If you're worried about your electricity bills, a tumbler heat pump can offer significant savings. The technology requires less power to heat the air inside the tumble dryer. This allows it to dry clothes more efficiently and at a lower temperatures than vented models.

They also employ a cooling agent that liquifies the humidity in the air and then releases it through the condenser, meaning they require less electricity to run than traditional vented models.

This hose cannot be shared or used in a manner that could cause damage.

Condenser dryers operate similarly to heat pump dryers. They use an electrical element to warm the air before releasing the moisture through a condensation tray. They tend to be heavy-duty performers, with larger capacity for wet loads ranging from 6kg to 10kg and are more quiet to operate. They're more expensive to purchase than tumble dryers with heat pumps and they can't be installed without a permanent wall connection. They're also more expensive to run than heat pump dryers as they need to generate plenty of heat to evaporate the moisture from your laundry, and aren't as efficient as vented models. They still rely on electricity to turn the motor which rotates your laundry.

Noise

Tumble dryers produce a lot of noise however the volume they emit depends on a number of variables. The decibel rating is just one of them, but the frequency of the noise will also influence the volume at which it sounds. The sound can be amplified by nearby resonant objects such as work surfaces, tumble dryers with heat pump cupboards or furniture, and it may be affected by the acoustics of the room. The sound from the tumble dryer may be dampened by acoustic absorbent fabrics such as carpets, or be drowned out by other appliances within your home.

Condenser and heat pump tumble dryers are quieter than vented models, however it's important to remember that they're still loud. They are less harsh on fabrics and dry your laundry more slowly with lower air temperatures. They also have a longer cycle. This means that they're less damaging to your clothes and are less likely to cause loss of color that is often caused by high temperatures, old fashioned tumble dryers.

The condenser tumble dryer, on the other hand, does not require the permanent connection to a vent and can be put in any place in your home. It collects the leftover vapour and water in a condensation container that can either be manually emptied or connected to a drain with an drainage tube, which will automatically empty it.

Converting a vented tumble-dryer into a condenser dryer is possible by using an conversion kit. However, this could affect the warranty of the manufacturer and should be performed by a trained professional. The kits come with parts to install vents, aswell with a small pump to remove condensation.

Maintenance

The heat pump tumble dryers operate differently than vented or condenser machines as they don't require venting outside in order to extract hot air. The warm air that flows through your clothes is captured and then pumped through a condenser that is able to separate the water from the heated air. Then, it is recirculated in a water reservoir (sometimes called a tank) inside the appliance. You will have empty the tank at some point, but you can keep the dryer in the same place like if you had vents.
