How to estimate heat pump dryer electricity cost
- Use the manufacturer energy data or a typical kWh-per-cycle value as your baseline.
- Count full drying cycles per week instead of individual garments or partial loads.
- Use the yearly view when comparing an efficient dryer against an older one.
How to reduce running cost
- Spin clothes well before drying to shorten cycle time.
- Use sensor drying and clean filters so the dryer stays efficient.
- Compare heat pump, condenser, and vented dryer cost if you are shopping for a replacement.
