The first time we used Heat Engineer Software I knew it was a winner in terms of how much time it was saving us. It freed up my time and gave me a couple of evenings back a week.

The client response is how professional it all looks, and they had a sense of trust in what we were telling them. It’s a game changer.

Mark Denman, Custom Renewables

It probably takes me all of about 10 to 15 minutes to produce the whole house report. It’s much quicker now, we’re a lot more confident, and obviously what we’ve produced makes us feel a lot more professional.

I’ve been happy with Heat Engineer Software and will continue to stick with them. I would recommend them to others without a doubt.

Kellie Henson, Henson Oil Boilers and Tanks

I’ve done probably over 40 heat pumps with Heat Engineer Software, and every time the result has been perfect. I’ve never had any problems with room temperatures or heat pump sizes. I just know exactly what I’m going to get is going to be correct.

I don’t want callbacks from customers saying things are not right, and I’ve never had one back from using Heat Engineer Software.
