Energy Efficient Heat Pump Washer Dryer

With the new federal incentives and impressive lab test results, the heat pump washer dryer is set to become a commonplace. These all-in-one devices take less time to dry and wash and are not ventless, which means they don't draw conditioned air out of your home to vent outside.

They also use a lower temperature, which is gentler on clothing. Read on to find out more about this fascinating technology for laundry.

1. Energy Savings

The use of heat pumps isn't just to cool and heat homes and offices, but they're also used to dry clothes. A heat pump dryer that is ENERGY START-certified consumes 28% less power than a traditional dryer, saving you money on your electric bill. They operate at the lower temperature to lessen wear and tear, and damage to your clothes.

During the drying cycle, heat pump dryers use the same air recycled by the washing machine, however it goes through a condenser unit in the evaporator unit to heat up and cool the air. Then the warm air is then pushed back into the drum to continue drying the clothes. A heat pump dryer doesn't need to exhaust humid air, like vented dryers do.

It is important to make your appliances as energy efficient as you can, because the process of washing clothes consumes lots of energy. The best method to accomplish this is by pairing an efficient washer with a dryer that uses a heat pump. This will enable you to ensure maximum efficiency, and begin saving energy costs right away.

Take a look at our selection of ENERGY STAR-certified washers and dryers to get started. You can sort results by model, energy consumption, wash cycles or spin speed. Be sure to read the yellow Energy Guide label to understand how much each appliance will cost to run every year.

Combining washer-dryers is another ideal option for households that cannot afford to have two separate machines or don't have enough space to accommodate them. These units are plugged directly into 120-volt outlets and don't require a 240-volt venting or hookup system. These units are perfect for apartments and condominiums as they can be placed in a cupboard or under counters.

2. Reduces Noise

The majority of traditional clothes dryers use heat to dry the clothes using a hot electric or gas coil. This helps remove moisture from your clothes. The air is then vented outside your home, taking with it your conditioned air, which you pay to keep cool in the summer and warm in winter. Your home will need to work overtime to replace the conditioned heat by pulling replacement air through gaps and cracks between walls and doors.

Heat pump washer dryers transfer humidity from one place to another, instead of heating it and then venting it. This is great for homeowners who have houses that are too small to handle additional air flow. It is also possible to put in washer/dryer combinations in places that vented dryers might not be suitable for instance, under stairs. This will not affect the efficiency of the energy or performance.

All-in-one machines have many advantages However, they also have some disadvantages. It's crucial to give yourself enough time for each load since all-in-one machines take longer to finish their cycles than traditional dryers or washers. Also, combining two appliances in one can reduce the amount of laundry you're able do in one go, since it takes around an hour longer for whites and colors to dry than they would in separate machines.

The majority of manufacturers have begun to address these issues by offering easy solutions. LG's top-rated washing-dryer combination includes an option to prop the door slightly open while it is running to avoid water pooling and drying the drum. A lot of LG models such as our top pick, come with a small drain hole at the bottom of the laundry tub to let the water flow out instead of pooling inside the drum. You can also buy sound blankets that are fitted around the heat pump to block out the sound.

3. Reduces Wear and Tear

When a heat pump dryer works it doesn't heat the air like a traditional dryer--it only extracts the moisture from the garments, so it's far more gentle on fabrics than a regular model. This is a great way to save energy, since it does not have to waste energy to heat up the air for the drying process.

But, they do require some maintenance than standalone dryers since the condensate drain pipe has to be cleaned on a regular basis to avoid blockages. But, this isn't too different than cleaning a regular dryer.

The main difference is that heat pump washer and dryer combos do not vent, which means you can put them in your house without cutting into the wall exterior to run ductwork. This is great for people who live in apartments or college students, as well as other people who don't wish to spend more money or modify their living space.

Since heat-pump dryers aren't as hot and take longer to dry clothes than conventional dryers. This is a reason why many people have been hesitant to accept them, but manufacturers have improved their technology over time, and a heat-pump dryer on our top dryer list --the LG Signature LUWM101HWA has typical dry times of 37 to 70 minutes.

The key to reducing drying time is to avoid overdoing the amount of detergent, which could result in excessive suds that can prolong cycles and leaves an oily residue on clothing (readers write us all the time about this issue). Make sure you're using the recommended amount of high-efficiency detergents and clean the dispenser drawer on a routine basis. This will ensure the machine is operating as efficiently as possible and you're not wasting money and energy.

4. Reduces Lint

When you're drying your clothes using a heat pump dryer, it makes use of less air than vented gas or electric dryers. That's because it doesn't blow hot, humid air into your clothes, but instead extracts room-temperature vapor from the air around your clothes. This steam is then heated by your washer to remove the moisture from your laundry, making this type of dryer a lot more energy efficient.

This can be a big issue if you intend to install it on a wall or put it in a closet which may not have enough space for vents.

Lint build-up is an issue for all dryers. However, the lower temperatures of a heat pump dryer limit how much it can clog the exhaust, preventing your clothes from reaching their full drying potential. That also lowers the risk of a fire threatening your dryer or its exhaust, which can occur when solvents and oils that are flammable from your laundry get into the vent or the dryer's evaporator.

Clean your dryer ducts at minimum once a month to reduce lint accumulation (more often if you have children or pets living in the house). You can use a leaf blower or wire brush to clean any lint that has accumulated between the ridges of the hose of accordion. It is safer to clean this outside than inside.

Make sure you use a detergent with low sudsing and follow the directions of the manufacturer on how to set your water level so that you avoid overdrying. Also, separate laundry by kinds of fabrics and wash delicates like silk with heavy linens or cottons. That way you won't overdye your delicates or shrink them too much. Likewise, the moisture sensors will have a better chance of being able to tell the moment your laundry is dry to end the cycle.

5. Space Savings

Heat pump dryers consume less energy as they reuse and recycle hot aer. This will help you save money on your costs for utilities, but also on energy costs to heat or cool your house.

This method is also gentler on fabrics, so it reduces shrinkage and wear--a major benefit when dealing with expensive clothes. It also means that you don't have to replace lint-clogged dryer vents and reduces the waste of energy that conventional dryers expend to warm up room air before it is able to enter the dryer and helps to keep your heating and cooling costs lower.

Heat pump washer-dryer combinations are designed to fit in small spaces, like kitchens and closets. These machines are all-in-one and require only one inch more space than the most front-load washers that are vented. Plus, they're ventless so you can place them anywhere that has water and heat pump washer dryer 120-volt outlets.

The all-in-one appliances are simple to operate, too. You only need to choose the appropriate wash cycle and drying cycle for your load, and then let them work. Then, you can take your clothes off when they're clean.
