ᐅ Calculating heating demand to determine the size of the ground source heat pump

My general contractor can only provide a heating load calculation once the detailed construction plans are approved, the trade has been tendered to his 3-4 partner heating contractors, and they in turn have performed the calculation.
Is it possible to do this myself? Are there online calculators available for this? Can companies be hired to do this at reasonable prices?
I need the heating load calculation to determine the size (kW) of the geothermal heat pump and, of course, the required drilling.
Does anyone have advice?

Let’s see how it will be tomorrow. In any case, quite a bit of condensation is collecting in the pump sump – either from the chimney draft or the ventilation system.
