CHICAGO, May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The second annual ServiceTitan HVAC National Championship (SHNC) is underway, and today ServiceTitan and Intersport announced that American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning and Trane Residential have signed a multi-year sponsorship agreement. Both American Standard and Trane are leading brands of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, making them a perfect fit to support the competition spotlighting the top professional and apprentice HVAC technicians in the U.S. The competition, which launched last month, is currently open for its first digital qualification round.

As part of the Elite Trades Championship Series, SHNC is a competition designed to test the skills and knowledge of HVAC technicians while showcasing their abilities and gaining recognition in the industry.

Finalists who advance through two rounds of at-home competition will compete live for more than $100,000 in cash and prizes at the finals in Tampa, Florida, this October. For those who can't attend in person, the competition will be recorded and televised at a later date. In addition to an all-expense-paid trip to Tampa, finalists will receive a VIP prize package from SHNC sponsors, including Johnstone Supplies, American Standard and Trane.

"Like us, these companies have an expressed commitment to elevating the industry and recognizing excellence."
