Best Heatloss Software?

Big Idahoan

We've been using Rehau's warmsource software to the heatloss calculations, and loopcad to draw the tubing layouts. Our supplier wants us to try out the Wirsbo software. What is everybody else using? Any recommendations? Thanks for the input.

try 'em all. The ones I have tried all get close to the same number. Different features on different software brands. At the end they all try to sell you that brand stuff!

Wrightsoft Residential, for radiant(includes loopcad) baseboard, conventional hot air and high velocity systems as well, heat and AC. Besides being the best at calculations it is a tremendous sales tool, compare up to four systems by efficiency, fuel, price, then show graphs of what each one will cost or save over a specified period. Great for showing a customer how much more a propane system is going to cost vs. oil, or how much a more efficient system will save compared to a less efficient system. You can also get a materials take off for any of the systems. Just draw out the outline of the rooms, drag and drop windows and doors onto the drawing, when your done with the drawing all your calculations are done. http://wrightsoft.com/ you can download a demo and try it out. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for.
