I live in an area where it is raining more often than not so unfortunately clothes lines are not really an option for me, though i compensated by going entirely off grid. I have enough solar and battery storage that I am completely self-sufficient. I have a heat pump dryer, heat pump hot water heater, and I still use things like a dishwasher as they do use dramatically less water than doing it by hand
I guess that’s one I also forgot to put on the list heat pump hot water heater yes they are more expensive than the standard electric but they will pay for themselves pretty quickly unless you just almost never use hot water. Same for the dryer, it is indeed more expensive than a standard electric one but it will pay for itself pretty quickly with the 1/4th power used
Oh I didn’t even mean the outdoors clothes lines (which I also have, but am too lazy to use), I meant an indoor rack like this:
I have 2 of those so I can do like 3 loads of laundry and just set it and forget it.
Won’t work with high humidity, but chances are if you have high humidity indoors, you’d want a heat pump to use as AC in the summer and for extra heating in the winter, anyway (game changer IMO)
Heat pump hot water heater - don’t think that’s even a thing here. Reason being, if you’re getting a heat pump to heat your water, you might as well just go full blast and install an air-to-water or even geothermal pump that heats up both your radiators (or floors) AND the boiler. It’s a goal of mine for next summer. But in the absence of such an option, I will admit that a straight heat pump water heater is probably good too. Right now I have an electric heater for summertime usage and I’m not the biggest fan.
