Tumble Dryers Liverpool - Energy Efficiency Tips

Tumble dryers are a godsend in the autumn and winter months where we can no longer rely on a warm sunny day to dry our freshly washed laundry. They also save us huge amounts of space that would otherwise be taken up by clothes horses and drying racks. Drying our washing in this way not only taxes space but can have negative health and damp effects on account of the large amounts of moisture circulated in the air. There are many people looking for tumble dryers Liverpool and although they are a fast way of drying clothes, they can consume a lot of energy so you need to use them in the right way to reap the benefits.

Tumble dryers are not all energy inefficient, there are many different tips you can follow to reduce your bills and still be able to dry your washing quickly.

Look for the highest energy rating

This may seem obvious but a the higher the energy rating, the less it will cost per year to run the tumble dryer. Tumble dryers that are rated with a higher energy efficiency rating will cost more to buy but this initial investment is worth it when you consider how much money you will save over time. At Power Point Wallasey, we have one of the largest selections of energy efficient tumble dryers Liverpool such as the A++ rated Hoover DXH9A2DCEB.

Pre-spin in the washing machine if possible

If you own a washing machine with a post-wash spin function make sure you use it so that your washing has as much moisture spun out from it as possible. This will reduce the amount of work the tumble dryer has to do to dry the load. You may be thinking the energy used by the washing machine spin function is the same as that of a tumble dryer and that you may as well just dry your load in the tumble dryer immediately. Tumble dryers use energy in a different way to washing machines as they not only spin but also have to heat air and distribute it into the moving drum. Completion of these tasks requires a lot more energy than it does for a washing machine to run a simple dry spin course.

Avoid doing small loads

Only using the tumble dryer on full loads will save lots of energy and reduce your bills. We have all been in situations where we wash quarter drum loads because we urgently need a particular garment clean. Starting the tumble dryer for many small loads is hugely inefficient as the same amount of energy will be used on a single setting to heat air and spin the drum regardless of how many clothes you load it with. In this sense, you are using a single measure of energy and only getting a fraction of the possible output.

Tumble dryer balls

Tumble dryer balls are small textured nodes usually made from synthetic heat resistant plastics and are used to soften your laundry load and prevent it from drying together as it tumbles. By separating the fabric during a spin and moving it around your load will dry faster and require less machine time. Without tumble dryer balls you could be wasting energy on longer spins trying to dry out dense clumps of damp laundry. Tumble dryer balls are essentially another method of getting the most out of the usage duration of your tumble dryer.
