Hi, I'm at the researching stage and found a heat loss calculator at Castrads. Having completed it I was given a heat loss of 6765 Watts. The property is a 1926 semi 3 bed with wall insulation, double glazing and 100mm loft insulation. Now I do not know whether this result sounds reasonable but it was fairly straightforward to use and results are downloadable as pdf and csv. I'd be grateful for comments, and if it's a rubbish result perhaps a link to a better one!
Daikin 6Kw ASHP.
MG4 EV, Solis 8KW inverter, 32KWh battery
1926 Semi with loft and wall cavity insulation, all radiator.
