A: No, heat pump dryers are ventless and do not require external venting. They use a closed-loop system that condenses moisture from clothes and collects it in a water tank or drains it through a hose.
A: Most heat pump dryers require a standard household electrical outlet (220-240V), but it's important to check your specific model's requirements. A dedicated circuit is recommended for optimal performance.
A: Typically, you need at least 1 inch on the sides, 4 inches at the back, and 1 inch at the top. However, more space is better for ventilation, and specific requirements may vary by model.
A: While DIY installation is possible, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup, especially for electrical and drainage connections. This helps maintain warranty coverage and optimal performance.
A: Heat pump dryers can either collect water in a removable container that needs manual emptying, or connect to a drain hose that automatically removes condensed water, similar to a washing machine.
