Heat Pump Tumble Dryers Heat pump tumble dryers recycle hot air used to dry your clothes, instead of letting it out into the outdoors. This is a cost-effective option for your family, since it conserves energy. John Lewis has a range of tumble dryers that include both vented and condenser models and heat pump tumble dryers. Learn more about the options in our guide to tumble dryers. Cost Tumble dryers are great for reducing the need to hang laundry in the sun and for saving space for storage, but they tend to use quite much energy. If you're looking to reduce your energy costs it might be worth looking into a heat pump tumble dryer. These machines are more expensive initially, however they can save you money over time because of their lower energy consumption. They work by heating the air that has already heated during the drying process which results in lower energy bills than condenser or vented models. This kind of tumble dryer uses only half the energy as condenser or vented models, saving you up to PS173 on your utility bills each year. When comparing heat pump tumble dryers to other models, there is usually a negligible cost difference. However, it is crucial to take into consideration the amount of energy is being used and the frequency you'll be using your tumble dryer. You'll need to take into consideration the wattage and your electricity bill when calculating the amount each tumble dryer will cost. Vented tumble dryers make use of gas to dry the laundry and are powered by gas from the mains, so they can be more expensive if you're on a tight budget. The options for installation are limited because they need to be placed in a room that has adequate ventilation for the damp air. Condenser dryers take the moisture from your laundry by moving hot, humid air into a separate unit where it is transformed into water. The water is then drained away in a container that is removable that needs to be manually empty or be piped into your drainage system to ensure continuous removal. This gives you more flexibility with install places, but you'll need to prepare for extra maintenance by ensuring that the drain pipe is in good shape. Energy efficiency A tumble dryer's heat-pump can help you save money on energy costs. The technology requires less electrical power to warm the air in the tumble dryer, allowing it to dry your clothes faster and at a lower temperature than vented models. The dryers also make use of a coolant to liquefy the air's humidity and then discharge it through the condenser. This means they consume less energy than traditional vented models. The dryers may take a bit longer to finish your laundry cycle compared to vented models, however the clothes will feel and look better for longer due to the lower temperatures. Typically they'll cost between $500 and $700 more up front than condenser dryers. However, this extra expense is easily offset by the savings you'll make on your energy costs in the long run. They're also more expensive and should be placed in rooms that are well-ventilated. ventilation. Like all electrical appliances, it's vital that any installation of a tumbler is carried out by an experienced Gas Safe engineer. Ventilated dryers require an extended flexible vent hose permanently connected to the appliance at one end and a drainage point – either a drain or a door or window – at the other. The hose can't be shared or used in a manner that could cause damage to it. Condenser dryers function in a similar way as heat pump dryers. They use an electrical element to heat the air, and then release the moisture via a condensation tray. They're typically heavy-duty dryers, with greater capacity for wet loads, which range from 6kg to 10kg. They also operate more quietly. However, they're more expensive than heat pump tumble dryers and aren't suitable for installations without an unbreakable connection to the wall. They're also more expensive to run than heat pump dryers since they need to generate lots of heat to evaporate the water from your laundry. They also are not as efficient as vented models. However, they do still make use of a considerable amount of electricity when they spin the motor that rotates your laundry. Noise The noise generated by tumble dryers is quite loud, but the volume is influenced by a variety of factors. The decibel rating is only one of them, and the frequency of the noise will affect how loud it is. The sound may also be amplified if there are any resonant objects in the vicinity, such as cabinets, work surfaces, or furniture. It could also be affected by the room's acoustics. The sound produced by the tumble dryer could be dampened by acoustic absorbent fabrics such as carpets, or it can be drowned out by other appliances in your home. Heat pump and condenser tumble dryers are quieter than vented models, however it's important to remember that they're still noisy. They're more gentle on fabrics, drying your laundry faster due to lower temperatures and a much longer cycle than traditional models. This means 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. It's important to remember that if you plan to use your tumbler dryer primarily alongside a washer both appliances must be placed close to each other in order to prevent vibrations or noises when operating. A washer and dryer stacking kit is available to help avoid this issue, which is available for both types of appliances. They require a constant flow of air to function, so they should be set up in a location that is well ventilated in your home. The vent hose must be permanently connected to the appliance, and routed securely outside of your home. The condenser tumble dryer, in contrast does not require an ongoing connection to a vent and can be installed anywhere in your home. It stores the water and vapour left over in a container that can be manually emptied, or connected to a drain using a drainage pipe which will automatically empty it. It is possible to convert a vented tumble dryer into a condenser model using an conversion kit, however this could void the manufacturer's warranty and should only be done by a qualified professional. The kits include parts to install vents, aswell an in-built pump to remove condensation. tumble dryers with heat pump from condenser or vented machines because they don't need external venting in order to extract hot air. The warm air that passes over your clothes is absorbed and then run through a condenser that is used to separate the water from the heated air. Then, it is recirculated in a reservoir of water (sometimes called a tank) within the appliance. It is necessary to empty the tank at some point however, you can store the dryer in the same space as if you installed vents. The heat pump model is about 50 percent more energy efficient than vented models. This makes it cheaper to run, which means you'll save an average of PS42-PS51 each year according to Which?, and it's also much more sustainable for the environment. It's not cheap to buy tumble dryers, so you should be able to afford the upfront costs. A tumble dryer with a heat pump requires very little maintenance aside from cleaning the lint filter and checking for a buildup of dust on the heating unit once in a while. However, you have to clean the condensation drain frequently and it will take longer than a vented tumble dryer to dry your clothes. Look into a sensor-controlled tumbler If you're looking for a low-cost model. It will shut down the machine automatically when the laundry is done, preventing over-drying and damaging your clothes. You'll need to program the drying cycle of your dryer if you have a lot of different fabrics. Brands such as Beko and John Lewis offer tumble dryers that make use of condenser, heat pump or vented technology. They all come with a two-year warranty, and John Lewis has excellent customer reviews and free home delivery.
