What is Heat Pump Technology?

Energy Efficient

A pump is used to heat air and absorb moisture, the air is then cooled, reheated, and recycled to dry your laundry.

Gentler On Clothes

With a lower drying temperature and sensors that detect moisture, your clothes are dried more gently and treated with better care.

Don't Require Venting

They don’t expel moist air into laundries which makes them ideal for use in both houses and apartments.

Don't Cost The Earth

With great energy and water efficiency, you can save on running costs and help the environment.

Heat Pump Dryer Technology Glossary

We’ll break down all the tech talk and acronyms that you need to know.

Energy Efficiency

Using less energy to perform the same task. This essentially leads to eliminating energy waste. In the process, you can cut down your energy bills and help reduce pollution.

Gentle Fabric Care

Less abrasive drying, usually used for delicate fabrics.

Drying Temperature

Clothes can be dried at different temperatures, the best dryers can dry your clothes at a temperature that is hot, but not so hot that it causes damage.

Venting

When a dryer vents out the water/moisture from the machine to the outside of your home. Dryers often do this by using a long, flexible hose – this connects to the tumble dryer and vents the moisture to the outside of your house.

What Is A Heat Pump Dryer?

A heat pump dryer uses clever tech to create and evenly distribute warm air to dry your clothing. It continuously reheats and recycles the same air back into the drum. They naturally dry at lower temperatures so they’re gentler on clothing.

How Does A Heat Pump Dryer Work?

As the name suggests, a heat pump tumble dryer pumps hot air to absorb moisture from your clothes. This air passes through the drum and goes through an evaporator, which removes the moisture. This is then collected and stored in a tank, and the remaining air is reheated and used to continue drying your clothes.

Can You Wall Mount A Heat Pump Dryer?

Heat pump tumble dryers can’t be wall mounted. However, they do not require plumbing, so they’re still a great choice if you’re looking for flexible setups. They can be stacked above a front load washing machine using a washer dryer stacking kit (these are sold separately) or they can sit on a floor – the choice is yours!
