Heat pump clothing dryers have been making great headway in recent years. As an energy efficient alternative to traditional condenser dryers, they also offer a number of other desirable features.

TCL have now launched their own heat pump dryer in Australia. We’ll look at what is so great about this technology, and why you should consider a TCL Heat Pump Dryer for your home.

The Benefits of a Heat Pump Dryer

Heat pump technology delivers some amazing benefits to clothes dryers.

Energy Efficiency

Heat pumps were a process developed to be more energy efficient than most other heating methods. Because they use refrigerants to concentrate existing heat from the surrounding air, they don’t need to generate heat from scratch.

Additionally, in heat pump dryers, water is condensed out of the hot moist air and collected. The dried hot air is then recycled back through the dryer drum, further increasing the energy efficiency.

Gentle on Clothes

Because heat pump dryers do not use the traditional heating coils found in old-style condenser dryers, they operate at more moderate temperatures. As a result, the physical impact on your clothes is much reduced. Clothing suffers less damage and shrinkage, and retains better colour fastness than those experiencing the very high temperatures of old-school dryers.

Less Maintenance

In general, the lower operating temperatures of these dryers generates less wear-and-tear on the unit itself. Metal components don’t heat up as much or expand and grind against each other, resulting in lower impact. Overall, this tends to mean longer lifetimes for the dryers.

Better for the Environmental

Heat pump clothing dryers are more sustainable for both the reasons already outlined above. Firstly, they utilise less energy than condenser or ventilator dryers. Secondly, increasing the longevity of your clothes helps reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry.

Lower Electricity Usage

With electricity prices seemingly constantly on the rise, this is a major benefit. Their efficient energy usage and more effective drying capability means less power is needed to operate a heat pump dryer. Over time, the financial savings can be considerable.

Less Ventilation Required

As heat pump clothes dryers capture and store the moisture from the hot air, moist air does not get exhausted into your laundry room. Your laundry room generally needs less ventilation and won’t suffer as much from mould growth.

Lower levels of hot humid air being vented from the dryer also means that surrounding living areas won’t heat up. This can be especially important when your laundry space is limited, such as when living in an apartment.
