How much energy do you save with a new dryer?

You might have an old dryer at home that works fine. It's still a good idea to consider a new dryer. New dryers are much more energy-efficient in use. This way, you can save more than € 115 per year on your energy bill. We'll tell you how a new dryer benefits you here.

Save energy with a new dryer

Your old dryer might still work, but it's smart to replace it. A big reason is the energy consumption of your old dryer. Old dryers often have a C energy label or even a D energy label, which use a lot of energy. Since 2020, new dryers need to have at least a B energy label. With a new heat pump dryer with an A+++ energy label, you'll dry energy-efficiently. This way, you can save money for other nice things, and it's better for the environment.

Old versus new dryer

In the table above, you can see a comparison of the costs per energy label. You can see that a B energy label consumes € 1.05 per dryer cycle, for example. A new dryer with an A+++ energy label only consumes € 0.33 per dryer cycle. This allows you to save € 115 per year. Over its entire lifespan, this can go up to € 1150. So it's more expensive to purchase a heat pump dryer, but you'll easily earn back your investment within a couple of years.
