Turn Up The Heat

Using a dryer ensures that your laundry is no longer exposed to rain, humid, polluted air and helps remove musty odours, making sure clothes stay fresh longer. It can however, be rather hard on one’s wallet. A typical clothes dryer needs anywhere from 1,800 to 5,000 watts to operate and its energy use doesn’t vary much from model to model. Over an average lifespan of a decade or more, this means chalking up about 6% of the electricity usage in homes a month and over time this can add up to quite a hefty electrical bill.




A clothes dryer using heat pump technology offers a solution to this problem. The breakthrough of heat pump dryers like the Electrolux EDH3497RDW is that it offers 50% energy saving compared to other dryers, without compromising the drying performance. A heat pump dryer generates less heat externally while in operation, which may be a welcome relief for owners of small apartments or laundry rooms. It is also gentler on laundry. Drying temperatures in a heat pump dryer is reduced by about 25°C compared to other dryers, without any compromise in drying times. This makes over-drying of clothes less likely, extending the lifespan of the fabrics. For those looking for sustainability and lower electrical bills with the added benefits of a cooler apartment and longer-lasting clothes, a heat pump dryer may just be the way to go.
