What is up HVAC Controls Pro. ChatGPT is here to stay and it is a great tool.
So many HVAC and Smart Building Control Pros I talk to have not even tried it. Like anything else getting started is the hardest part.
I am far from an expert on ChatGPT, you can find much better how to videos on YouTube, but I do know enough about ChatGPT to know it is worth trying.
So I made a very basic , beginners video on how to get started with ChatGPT.My hope is it will inspire you to give it a shot.
ChatGPT is all about the prompts you give it. The better the prompts the better the output.
That is why every week in the ControlTrends Briefing Newsletter, I include a prompt that you can just copy and paste into ChatGPT. So if you have not signed up for the newsletter, get on it!! and click here and you will be in th know.

Getting started with CHATGPT to enhance your HVAC operations is easier than you might think. In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up an account and use prompts effectively to get various results.
Step 1: Create an OpenAI Account To get started with CHATGPT, the first thing you’ll need to do is create an account with OpenAI. Visit the OpenAI website at https://www.openai.com/ and follow the prompts to set up your account.
Step 2: Learn to Use Prompts Effectively Once you’ve created your account and gained access to CHATGPT, it’s all about learning to use prompts effectively. A ‘prompt’ is simply an input you give to CHATGPT, and the language model will generate a relevant response based on that prompt.
Examples of Prompts Let’s look at a few examples of how you can use prompts in an HVAC context:
Customer Inquiry Response: A customer might ask, “What types of HVAC systems do you offer?” You could input this question as a prompt into CHATGPT, and the AI could generate a detailed response about the various HVAC systems your business provides.
Service Description: You could use a prompt like, “Describe the process of annual HVAC system maintenance,” to generate a comprehensive text about your maintenance service, which you can use on your website or in your marketing materials.
Price Quote: If you want to generate a price quote, you might input a prompt such as, “Generate a price quote for a standard residential HVAC installation.” The AI will provide a price quote based on the parameters and pricing models you’ve trained it with.
Troubleshooting Guide: A prompt like, “Provide troubleshooting steps for an HVAC system not cooling properly,” could help you create a detailed troubleshooting guide for your customers or technicians.
Appointment Scheduling: You could use a prompt like, “Schedule a standard HVAC maintenance service for a customer,” to have CHATGPT generate an appointment scheduling message.
Remember, the effectiveness of the responses from CHATGPT depends on the clarity and detail of your prompts. So, take your time to craft prompts that will get you the results you want. With a little practice, you’ll soon be leveraging the power of AI to enhance your HVAC operations.
