VanTrainers — Virtual HVAC Training Simulators

Three Simulators, One Subscription
Each simulator targets a different skill set your team needs in the field — electrical control circuits, equipment diagnostics, and ladder-logic reasoning. Together they cover the troubleshooting gaps that classroom theory alone can't fill.
WireDraw
Interactive ladder-logic trainer for HVAC apprentices. Build and wire control circuits rung by rung, simulate thermostat calls and safety faults, and verify that protection circuits shut down equipment the way they should in the real world.

Furnace Pro
Thirty-one progressive service calls across gas furnaces, packaged rooftop units, make-up-air equipment, and walk-in freezers. Use a multimeter, manometer, combustion analyzer, and wiring diagram to find the fault and make the right diagnosis before the clock runs out.

Relay Rescue
Control-circuit troubleshooting trainer with an interactive board, drag-and-drop multimeter probes, switch operation, wire disconnects, and fault diagnosis. Levels progress from basic relay logic to complex real-world control scenarios.
Try Relay Rescue →Built for Training, Not Just Testing
VanTrainers is designed by experienced field technicians who know how real Canadian HVAC/R work happens. Every simulator emphasizes the decision-making process — reading a diagram, choosing the right tool, interpreting measurements, and calling the fault with confidence.
Browser-Based Access
No installs, no app stores. Technicians log in from any device with a modern browser — shop computer, tablet, or phone.
Progressive Difficulty
Each simulator ramps from fundamentals to advanced scenarios so apprentices grow into journeyperson-level troubleshooting.
Leaderboards & Profiles
Technician profiles track progress, completion times, and standings so managers can see who is putting in the reps.
Realistic Tools
Multimeters, manometers, combustion analyzers, screwdrivers, and switch operation — the same tools techs reach for on a service call.
Safe Failure Environment
Apprentices can misdiagnose, trip safeties, and trace dead circuits without risking equipment, callbacks, or customer relationships.
One Monthly Price
WireDraw, Furnace Pro, and Relay Rescue together for $60/month. Add as many technician profiles as your shop needs.
