About this event:

Heat Pump Dryers are rated ENERGY STAR's most efficient dryers on the market and use one quarter or less energy than a typical electric resistance or gas dryer. They use heat pump technology to move heat rather than create it and with their ventless technology work well in apartments and multi-family units.

With with their longer cycles and small drum sizes, heat pump dryers may not be for everyone.

  • What is a heat pump dryer and how does it work?
  • How does ENERGY STAR rate dryers and what are the ENERGY STAR tools that can help me find the efficient dryer for me?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of heat pump dryers?
  • What are the best use cases for heat pump dyers?
