Heat Pump Dryers to Love at Designer Appliances
- May 06, 2022
A clothes dryer is one of the handiest appliances in your home. Time saving and efficient, dryers give you clean, dry clothes more quickly than air-drying. There are three types of dryers to choose from: Vented, Condenser and Heat Pump Dryers. Keep reading to find out the differences between each, and some of our favourite dryers this year.
Types of Dryers:
- Vented dryers are typically the least expensive, with hot air usually vented to outside of your home or apartment.
- Condenser dryers expel hot air and collect the moisture from the clothes to dry them. This moisture then turns into vapour and is condensed into water that needs to be drained or emptied.
- Heat Pump dryers are like Condenser dryers in that they also use hot air to dry garments, except Heat Pump Dryers reuses the hot air to continue drying your garments, which helps to keep energy consumption low.
Heat Pump Dryers vs Condenser Dryers
Condenser Dryers and Heat Pump Dryers offer greater value for money and are often more efficient than Vented dryers. Condenser Dryers can generate more heat than Heat Pump Dryers, and they also need to be placed in a well-ventilated space. Condenser Dryers turn hot air into water that needs to be removed while Heat Pump Dryers conserve and reuse the hot air.
Heat Pump Dryers don’t require venting, making them perfect for all types of homes or apartments. They also take greater care of your garments by using lower temperatures for drying, which results in lower power bills than other dryer types.
