Heat Loss Calculator - Recommendations

Hi all!
Can anyone recommend a good heat loss calculator for an ASHP installation? I have previously used Stelrad Stars, with which I'm familiar, and is fairly comprehensive.
Thanks!

Are you doing your own installation? If not, I would be inclined to choose your installer carefully - choose one that will be happy for oyu to look over theri shoulder while they do the heat loss and design calculations.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1

try the free version of this - https://heatpunk.co.uk/#pricing
or what about the MCS tools - https://mcscertified.com/standards-tools-library/Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers1 -
Heatpunk worked well for me, pretty much matched Octopus' survey4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.1

Thanks all, I'll take a look at Heatpunk. It's for a potential grant funded installation. I want to make my own calculations to compare.0
