Heat pump (server) coupled washer and dryer pair

An appliance system comprising:

• an appliance group that includes at least two appliances including:
• a first appliance designed to perform a first consumer function related to the first appliance;
• a first sensor to detect a first amount of thermal energy within the first appliance;
• a second appliance separate from the first appliance and designed to perform a second consumer function related to the second appliance;
• and
• a second sensor to detect a second amount of thermal energy within the second appliance;
• a thermal energy generator in communication with a processor that heats at least one thermal energy bearing fluid, and is operatively connected to the first appliance and the second appliance;
• and
• the processor in communication with the first and second sensors and programmed to process the first and second amounts of thermal energies and, direct the thermal energy generator to deliver thermal energy to the one of the first appliance and second appliance having the smallest respective thermal energy to reduce the power consumption for operating the appliance group.
