About Mainstreet Trade Academy
Mainstreet Trade Academy is an online HVAC trade school based in New Hampshire, dedicated to rebuilding America's skilled trades workforce. We provide self-paced, industry-aligned training for adults looking to launch careers in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Our program combines interactive online coursework with hands-on simulations through an industry leading curriculum partner, giving students real-world technical skills without the time and cost of traditional classroom programs.
Why HVAC? New Hampshire needs technicians. Experienced techs are retiring faster than new ones are replacing them, and every home, hospital, school, and business in the state depends on heating and cooling that works. That shortage is your opportunity. HVAC technicians in New Hampshire earn an average wage of $30–$35 per hour, with the top 10% nationally clearing $91,000 a year, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 42,500 HVAC job openings nationwide every year through 2034. No degree required. No student debt. A trade that pays more every year you stay in it.
Our Training Programs
Industry-Recognized Credential
You'll graduate with your EPA 608 Certification — the federal credential required to legally handle refrigerants on any HVAC or refrigeration system. It's the first thing every employer looks for before putting you on a jobsite. Recognized in all 50 states and valid for life, EPA 608 is the credential that turns a student into a hireable technician.
Learn by Doing, Not Just Studying
Our curriculum goes beyond theory. You'll work through interactive simulations of real HVAC systems — diagnosing faults, sizing equipment, wiring controls, and troubleshooting the problems you'll see in the field. By the time you finish, you'll have a massive head start over other applicants walking onto the jobsite.
