SUMMARY:Ventless Combo Washer Dryers 2.0
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we take a fresh look at the all-in-one washer/heat pump dryers that are revolutionizing laundry—making clothes washing and drying more efficient\, better for the environment\, and easier on our wallets. \nWashers and dryers account for anywhere from 8-10% of the energy use in our homes and a significant amount of our water use. Heat pump dryers are rated ENERGY STAR’s most efficient dryers on the market\, using roughly 75% less energy than a typical electric resistance or gas dryer. They use heat pump technology to move heat rather than create it\, and have many benefits. \nManufacturers from GE to Samsung to LG offer combo washer + heat pump dryers that wash and dry a complete load of laundry in the same machine. They’re lauded for their space saving\, convenience\, and energy efficiency\, as well as the advanced wash cycles and smart features they offer. \nAs the market for this technology grows\, we’ll take a look at the big advantages and minor challenges of switching to a combo unit. Not only do combo washer + heat pump dryers have the potential to save time and improve a homeowners’ washing/drying experience\, they greatly reduce energy use required to dry clothing. Most also plug into a 120-volt outlet\, helping homes with gas dryers electrify this end use more easily. \nJoin us for a 45-minute webinar with a live demo\, in which we talk about: \n\nWhat is a combo washer + heat pump dryer and how does it work?\nWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of combo washer + heat pump dryers?\nWhat models are on the market?\nHow are these appliances performing from a service and warranty perspective?\nHow did the current models of combo washer + dryers overcome challenges to create a new way of doing laundry?\nWhat are the expected time and energy savings from combo washer + heat pump dryers?\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the basic functionality and features of a combo washer and heat pump dryer.\nCompare energy efficiency of a heat pump dryer to a standard gas or electric dryer.\nIdentify advantages of a combo washer and heat pump dryer.\nCompare models and brands currently available on the market.
