Energy efficiency in commercial dryers is often discussed in simple terms, but the reality is more nuanced. In this episode, we look at why dryers consume so much energy in laundromats and hotels, how different technologies approach the problem, and why real-world results vary so widely between sites. Rather than focusing on “best” models, the discussion explores heat recovery, gas versus electric trade-offs, airflow design, and everyday operating habits—offering a practical way to think about efficiency beyond brochures and specifications.
