These appliances use less energy than conventional vented and condenser models, which can save you energy costs in the long in the long run. There are a few things to make before switching to this kind of appliance. Like all tumble dryers, heat pumps can produce quite a bit of noise. This is due to the movement of clothes as well as the motor itself. To help reduce this noise, some manufacturers make their machines with sound-absorbing materials to make it quieter. It is also important to make sure all buttons and zips are fastened before starting the cycle, in order to stop them from crashing against each one another during the drying and spinning process. The top heat pump tumble drying machines are quieter than the traditional models, yet they produce some noise. The level of noise can be affected by how insulated your home is, and vibrations could be absorbed or amplified by furniture, cupboards or work surfaces. The noise can be influenced by the decibel rating of the dryer, which varies based on its age and the model. A high-pitched screeching sound can be an indication that the drive belt of the dryer has come loose and needs to be refitted. It isn't easy to force the pulleys back on, as they are usually very tight-lensing. Alternatively, you can try using some high melting point grease to help the pulleys stay on. Another reason for an ear-splitting sound could be that the heat pump itself has become worn out or loose. This is a possibility when you buy new appliances, but it should be fixed by a certified technician. A rattling sound could be the result of a loose fan housing or the drum itself.
