I'm thinking that a heat pump dryer only makes sense in a climate that uses lots of airconditioning. Heat pumps just move heat from one location to another.
Assuming your dryer draws air from within your home, it will steal heat energy from the inside air providing 2 benefits - additional cooling for your home and drying your clothes. If you're already heating your home then stealing heat from it makes no sense. At best you've got a zero sum gain (exhausting to the interior) at a higher cost and complexity.
