They're more efficient (as compared to a conventional dryer) in heating dominated climates and less efficient in cooling dominated climates. Note that heat pump dryers based on compressors offer even higher efficiency regardless of the climate. It's possible to DIY one out of a window A/C and it's even possible to use a dehumidifier as-is in a closet.
