I have found a couple online calculators but I was wondering if anyone knew of reliable programs for mac? If not I was also wondering what people thought of the online program loadcalc.net and mrhvac.com?

    Minority market....

    Unfortunately, I am not aware of any loss calcs for Macs. If you haven't considered it yet, consider Parallels, which will then allow you to operate your Mac Like an IBM PC.



    There are a LOT of programs that don't work on Macs. I was in the Mac store, and asked an employee if they had a good drawing program I could use for generating piping schematics, and he sheepishly looked around to make certain none of his coworkers was within ear shot, and said "Go with the Micro Soft Visio program, it is the best..."



    So much for purchasing the worlds best "graphics" computer...



    Good luck in your search, and let us know if you DO find one.

    Seems to be the case...

    We have been thinking about parallels due to the absolute lack of mac compatible programs. Also we have been looking at online calcs. (http://www.mrhvac.com/free-hvac-stuff/free-heat-gain-and-loss-calculator/, http://www.loadcalc.net/load.php) but these don't seem too great. Appreciate the help and I will let you know if we find anything.
