Webinar: Ventless Washer-Dryer Combos 2.0

Join Electrify Now for a live demo and a discussion on how these new appliances compare on ease of use, energy efficiency and reliability.

Washers 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.

Manufacturers 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.

As 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.

This 45-minute webinar includes a live demo exploring:
