2025 ServiceTitan HVAC National Championship Powered by Trane
Welcome to 2025 ServiceTitan Elite Trades Championship Series!
We would like to extend a warm welcome to West Palm Beach, Florida for the 10th annual championship – three action packed days of competition, learning and partnership celebrating the trades.
A decade ago, we embarked on a journey with IDEAL to cast a brilliant spotlight on the electrical trade, enrich our communities, and express our profound appreciation for the tireless dedication and skills that the men and women of the trades bring to work, day in and day out.
Our programs purpose extends beyond mere celebration and competition. It’s about honoring unwavering commitment. Commitment to your craft, dedication to delivering your very best, not just in this arena, but also on your job sites. It’s about the commitment you share with your fellow competitors. The ETCS community has flourished, with thousands of HVAC and plumbing contestants competing for their spot in West Palm Beach, and the right to be called National Champion. And once again, the Championship events will be recorded to air on CBS Sports Network this December.
Furthermore, you’ll have the pleasure of meeting some new partners during this year’s Championship. We extend our great appreciation to all our sponsors who not only support this competition but also your professions.

Flex-X is Now.
Reimagining P/T Display
Traditional analog gauges provide visual feedback but lack precision, while newer digital gauges offer accuracy but lose intuitive movement With an HD color graphic interface that offers digital dials alongside numerical readings, Flex-X combines the best of both worlds, delivering precise readings and crisp, high-contrast real-time insights
Save Money & Space
Traditional gauges require separate dials for each refrigerant, leading to high costs and bulky toolkits FLEX-X solves this problem with a digital dial displaying 72 refrigerants in one device At $229, it replaces multiple sets of $80–$180 analog gauges, saving money, reducing clutter, and improving efficiency
