VanTrainers
Give apprentices and journeypersons hands-on practice without tying up a truck, a customer, or live equipment. VanTrainers bundles WireDraw, Furnace Pro, and Relay Rescue into one affordable monthly subscription built for Canadian HVAC/R shops.
All three simulators included. Cancel anytime.
Three simulators, one subscription
Build real troubleshooting confidence between service calls.
Each simulator targets a different field skill: electrical control circuits, equipment diagnostics, and ladder-logic reasoning. Together they cover the troubleshooting gaps that classroom theory alone cannot 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 correctly.
Try WireDraw
Furnace Pro
Thirty-one progressive service calls across gas furnaces, rooftop units, make-up-air equipment, and walk-in freezers. Use the right tools to find the fault before the clock runs out.
Try Furnace Pro
Relay Rescue
Control-circuit troubleshooting with an interactive board, drag-and-drop multimeter probes, switch operation, wire disconnects, and fault diagnosis.
Try Relay RescueBuilt for training
Practice the decision-making, not just the answer.
Every simulator emphasizes 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.
Progressive Difficulty
Each simulator ramps from fundamentals to advanced scenarios so apprentices grow toward journeyperson-level troubleshooting.
Leaderboards and 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 mirror the tools used on service calls.
Safe Failure Environment
Apprentices can misdiagnose, trip safeties, and trace dead circuits without risking equipment 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.

From single-truck shops to multi-branch service companies, VanTrainers gives your team useful reps between ride-alongs and real calls.

Service Managers
Assign simulators as pre-season refreshers or onboarding steps before sending new hires into the field.
