AI for HVAC Businesses in the UK
HVAC admin runs on planned maintenance, supplier parts, F-gas compliance. Foreman is the AI Employee for UK HVAC businesses on SimPro and every channel.
The pain in an HVAC office
It's the last Friday of the month. The planned-maintenance run for the South-East contract customers should have been scheduled for May three weeks ago, but two service engineers were pulled for a chiller breakdown in Reading, and the office manager rebuilt the diary twice and is now missing three visits before the SLA cutoff. The F-gas register for two completion jobs from Wednesday still doesn't have the log entry filled in. Suppliers have left voicemails about parts that may or may not be on order. The director's annual chase from one of the big landlords is sitting in someone's inbox, unread.
By 7pm on Friday, the question isn't did we do the work, it's can we prove we did it, to whom, by when.
That is HVAC admin under normal conditions.
Why HVAC admin doesn't fit a generic tool
HVAC operations have a shape no generic admin tool quite covers.
Planned maintenance is the revenue spine: annual service contracts that have to be scheduled, completed, and evidenced inside a contract window. Reactive callouts disrupt the plan constantly. Supplier parts coordination runs separately from the SimPro job, often by phone and email with three different wholesalers. F-gas compliance ties to specific HVAC certifications and has to be recorded on every job involving refrigerant, and a gap in the log is a gap in your insurance defence.
Cooper inside SimPro can answer questions about your jobs. A scheduling agent can rebuild the diary. Neither audits the F-gas log against the completed jobs. Neither nudges the engineer who forgot to file the entry. Neither writes the Friday report on which contract customers are behind on their planned maintenance. That work lives across SimPro, the engineer's phone, the supplier's WhatsApp threads, and the office manager's email, and somebody in the back office is doing it manually every week.
What Foreman does for an HVAC business
Foreman is the AI Employee for UK trade businesses on SimPro. Not an agent, not a chatbot, not a workflow builder. A hire who takes briefings, joins your team, and turns up tomorrow. He lives across SimPro, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, phone, and email. He drafts every reply for your team to review: he never contacts a customer directly.
For an HVAC business he does four things:
He answers anything. "Which contract customers are within four weeks of their planned-maintenance window with no visit booked?" "Has the F-gas log been filled in for any job marked complete this week?" "What did we order from BSS last month for the Maintainco refurb?" Plain-English questions across SimPro and the channels around it.
He runs your one-offs. The audit. The chase. The compliance reconciliation. Take the canonical example: the F-gas register update. A job involving refrigerant completes. The F-gas log entry needs to be on the SimPro job before the regulatory cutoff. Foreman watches every HVAC job marked complete, finds the ones without the F-gas entry, nudges the engineer on WhatsApp ("Maintainco unit replacement: F-gas log entry still missing, can you reply with charge amount and refrigerant type?"), and flags anything still incomplete to the office manager before the cutoff.
He writes your reports. The weekly planned-maintenance-status report by contract. The monthly F-gas compliance summary. The supplier-spend report your director keeps meaning to put together. Daily, weekly, monthly: he keeps the cadence.
He spots trouble early. "Tell me when a contract customer's planned-maintenance window is within 14 days with no visit booked." "Tell me when an F-gas-involving job is marked complete without a log entry." "Tell me when a supplier purchase order has been raised but no delivery confirmation in 7 days." Set the conditions once; he watches across every channel.
