Heat Engineer Software Ltd Built by engineers, for engineers. 🔥⚒️ Heat Engineer Software Ltd has created 'Heat Engineer' to aid surveyors and engineers in the heating industry.

Helping heating engineers win more work, stay compliant, and run smarter businesses with all-in-one software for heat loss calculations, designs, quotes, surveys & job management. The historically tedious work required to gather details of a property and then complete a detailed heat loss calculation has caused frustration within the industry, and current software available hasn't really addressed or improved this challenge. STANDARDS

The methods used in our calculations are from the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) The Domestic Heating Design Guide 2014 and EN 12831. The UK standards for MCS MIS 3005 and MIS 3004 have also been met ensuring heat pumps and Biomass calculations can be presented. UNIQUE FEATURES

Users who suffer from Dyslexia can change the colour on the Heat Engineer website to help them read and navigate easier. We also created a comparison feature which displays the running costs from various fuels. This comparison should encourage companies and engineers who initial select their primary fuel source as a fossil fuel boiler to swap with a renewable heating solution instead. Therefore helping new plumbers and heating engineers into the renewable sector. Readers who may be unfamiliar with heat loss calculations

Before a heating system is installed whether it's a renewable or conventional fossil fuel boiler, its important that a plumber or heating engineer completes a detailed room by room heat loss calculation. The results from a heat loss calculation can then be used to determine each room's emitter size (Radiators, fan convectors, fan coil units and underfloor heating pipe centres) and the overall power output (kW) required for the heat pump, Biomass or conventional fossil Boiler. Other information can also be presented such as;

Estimation on running costs and heating and hot water energy consumptions
Comparison of different fuels against running cost
Heat pump seasonal performance factor (SPF)
Bivalent system
Current radiator outputs at different flow temperatures. Ground Loop Design

Here’s how to scan a landing using LiDAR. 📱

Landings can be tricky to survey, especially with multiple doors, stairs and adjoining rooms.

In our latest YouTube tutorial, our CTO Rich walks you through the process, from scanning the landing and checking your measurements to reviewing the finished 2D floor plan and 3D model.

And a quick reminder: LiDAR scanning is included with your Heat Engineer Software subscription, at NO EXTRA COST! 🔥

“If you can't make a really good living now, is something wrong?” 👀

Craig Gilhome has been in the trade for decades, and he's pretty optimistic about where things stand today.

Do you agree, or has the industry seen better days? We'd love to hear what other engineers think.

We’ve got a podcast. 🎙️🔥 Introducing Turning Down the Heat, the Heat Engineer Software podcast.

We’re bringing together installers, trainers and voices from across the industry for open conversations about heating, training, technology, business and where the industry is heading.

And we’re kicking things off with Craig Gilhome MCIPHE.

Craig joins Ben Duckworth to talk about his journey through the trade, the move from gas to heat pumps, training, system design, the realities of running a heating business and what needs to change to help the industry move forward.

From why installers should never stop learning to why we might need to think twice before calling out each other’s work online, there’s plenty to get into.

Episode 1 is out now.

Let us know what you think, and who you’d like to hear from next.

There are testimonials, and then there’s hearing it from Adam Dare (). 🔥

Adam knows the industry, the trade and what good software needs to do out in the real world.

So it’s always great to hear his take on Heat Engineer Software and the difference it makes to the way he works.

Really appreciate the kind words and continued support, Adam. 🙌

If you run a heating or plumbing business, does this feel wildly off, or pretty close? 👇

We’ve been asking heating engineers and plumbers what really takes up their time, and one thing keeps coming up: being on the tools is only part of the job.

There’s the actual work on site. Then there’s everything that comes with running the business: enquiries, quotes, admin, compliance, customer messages, finance, marketing, vehicles and managing people.

Some weeks, it can feel like half your time goes on the job, and the other half goes on everything around it.

Every business is different, of course.

What steals the most time in your week?

Heat Engineer Software is now a proud to be a Patron of the Guild of Master Heat Engineers after receiving a formal invitation to join this exclusive community.

If you work in heating, Nathan Gambling probably doesn’t need much of an introduction.

Through BetaTalk, BetaTeach and now the Guild of Master Heat Engineers, Nathan has been a familiar expert voice in the heating industry for years, particularly when it comes to training, sharing knowledge and doing things properly.

The Guild is his latest step in that direction, bringing together experienced engineers with a shared interest in doing great work and continuing to learn.

That’s something that fits very naturally with what we care about at Heat Engineer Software.

A big thank you to Nathan for inviting Heat Engineer Software to be part of it.

We’re looking forward to supporting the Guild and the wider work around BetaTalk too.

A day out of the office for Ben and Anna yesterday 🎙

They headed down to Wimbledon to catch up with Joe Sharpe, Henk Gieskens and Olivia Abernethy.

A tour of the new Nineteen Group offices (very nice, by the way), plenty of good conversations, lunch... and a podcast recording squeezed in too.

Joe got Ben behind the mic to talk about Heat Engineer Software and some of the things we’ve been working on lately.
Safe to say, there was plenty to talk about. 👀

Thanks for having us, looking forward to sharing the episode!

If you know our new Product Training & Quality Specialist, Rob Pearson, you’ll know he doesn’t need much convincing to spend a day talking heating. 😅

Yesterday was Heat Pumps Demystified, hosted by Dominic Eves (InstallD), and there was plenty to get stuck into.

From Jo Alsop (Warmur Academy) on the training journey and Steve Hall (W T Hall builders) on what to look out for when surveying a property, through to Rob Clemson (Aalberts hydronic flow control) on system cleanliness, Craig Gilhome MCIPHE (Warmur Academy) on continuing to learn, and Gary and Hannah (OSO) rounding off the day.

Rob also caught up with Denzil Cluff (Ecoerne), Richard Harrison (MS Cookers & Boilers Ltd), George Barnes (G. Barnes Heating & Plumbing Services Ltd) and the guys from L and M Plumbing and Heating.

Some of this fantastic lineup already use The Forge within Heat Engineer Software, so naturally the conversation turned to what we’ve been working on next.

A little sneak preview may have happened... 👀

For everything else: watch this space.

Big thanks to Dominic, all the speakers and everyone involved in a great day. 🔥
