- Heat Pump Dryer - 1 Update
Rachel Koller <kolle...@gmail.com>: Mar 06 10:27AM -0800
Hi All,
We have a Beko heat pump dryer (link
<https://www.albertlee.biz/product/beko-24-white-front-load-heat-pump-dryer-hpd24412w-108336>)
purchased at Albert Lee's 'garage sale' a year and a half ago (we spent
$1600 on washer/dryer combo), and totally agree with David's assessment of
the quirks.
Add'l thought - It's a small dryer, which is fine for a family of 3 but
might be more challenging for a large family. We've found that sheets in
particular get balled up and then not evenly dried due to the size of the
drum.
To be honest, it's been great for our move to electrification (we had a gas
dryer previously), and energy savings, but compared to a standard electric
dryer it's not perfect! I'm fine with the tradeoffs, but I feel like for
many American families used to a jet engine blasting your clothes dry, it
could still be a hard sell.

Hi all,
We’re hoping to start our electrification journey soon by replacing our
furnace and water heater with heat pump solutions. We *think* the right
solution for our home is going to be a split system for the water heater
and a ducted heat pump for space heat. I’m hoping folks on this list can
provide some recommendations for contractors who sell and install these
types of systems.

You don't often get email from sg...@emeraldcities.org. Learn why this is important |
I think for the split system water heater Sanden is the only manufacturer and you can contact Small Planet Supply, the distributor, for contractors. https://www.smallplanetsupply.com/
EnergyWorks did our install of a ducted heat pump system. I can also recommend Resicon.

More generally, I would like to find somebody to consult with me about the whole space heating setup in my 1897 Victorian, which is insulated floor, most walls and attic, air sealed, has new windows downstairs and home made double layer plastic interior storms in the upstairs dormer bedrooms, still has so-so blower door test results. I’ve got a high efficiency fairly new ducted gas furnace in the basement, but there are no ducts to the upstairs - just a grate in the floor to each of the dormer bedrooms that were added on to the house later. (They have electric wall heaters now.) The furnace doesn’t keep the back of the house quite warm enough either.
I had a guy from the local HVAC contractor that’s started advertising itself as a heat pump specialist come out, and hoped to get advice about replacing the furnace with a ducted heat pump, versus putting in a minisplit that would be big enough to handle the whole house eventually with just one air handler in the back for now, versus one mini-split for downstairs and one for upstairs. I wanted to know if I’d lose a lot with these air handlers that look like picture frames versus a standard one, and whether a ceiling air handler over the landing at the top of the stairs would work to heat the three little bedrooms up there through their open doorways, etc… The guy just said “Sure, we could do that” to every option I wanted to consider, which wasn’t much help. I’d like to find something like an energy concierge who really knew what they were doing and could look at the whole situation and give me a more professional analysis.
Best wishes,
Thad Curtz
