Frequently asked questions about heat pump tumble dryers
Do Heat Pump Tumble Dryers use a lot of electricity?
Heat pump tumble dryers use significantly less electricity than conventional tumble dryers. They use a heat pump to transfer heat from the warm air inside the dryer to the cold air outside, which means that they don't need to use as much energy to heat up the air.
Do Heat Pump Tumble Dryers need to be vented?
No, heat pump tumble dryers do not need to be vented. They use a heat pump to transfer heat from the warm air inside the dryer to the cold air outside, which means that they don't need to use as much energy to heat up the air.
How much longer do heat pump tumble dryers take?
Heat pump tumble dryers take around 20-50% longer to dry a load of clothes than conventional tumble dryers. This is because they use a lower temperature to dry the clothes, which means that they need to run for longer to achieve the same level of dryness. However, the longer drying time is offset by the fact that heat pump tumble dryers are much more energy-efficient. So the drying process is longer but will be more cost effective.
