04 · What the estimate includes

The table compares electricity for the current dryer and an efficient heat-pump example at the same number of weekly cycles.

ⓘ Planning estimate — not a quote, tariff or financial recommendation.

Why can cycles vary?

Load size, fabric, spin speed, sensors and room temperature all affect drying time.

Does a heat-pump dryer always save this much?

No. Replace both kWh values with figures for the programmes you actually use.
