From a single shop in Orange County to a nationwide platform of powerhouse brands, Champions Group isn’t just growing — it’s quietly reshaping the future of home services.
Built from the Ground Up: When Leland Smith founded what would become Champions Group, he wasn’t aiming to flip a business — he was building something lasting.
What started as a local HVAC company in Southern California evolved, brick by brick, into the leading home services platform in the United States, with thousands of employees and dozens of beloved brands under its belt.
The secret? Long-term thinking, local-first relationships, and a relentless commitment to high-quality service — not just scale.
Built with a Purpose
Champions Group specializes in essential home services (heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical) and it’s done more than just bolt-on acquisitions.
Unlike many roll-ups in the trades, Champions doesn’t erase the local DNA of the companies it partners with. Instead, it preserves local trust while integrating best-in-class operations behind the scenes. Think CRM, dispatch, call center excellence — all supporting field teams to deliver faster, better service.
“It’s about more than just home services. It’s about long-term relationships — with employees, partners, and customers.”
If you’re in California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Ohio, Washington, or Texas, chances are you already know a Champions brand.
The group includes high-trust names like:
Adeedo!, ASI, Bell Brothers, Bee’s Plumbing, Fetch-A-Tech, HELP, Hobaica, Howard Air, Jet Plumbing, JW Heating and Air, Moore Home Services, ProSkill Services, Scottsdale Air, Sierra Air, Swan Plumbing, Service Wizard, and newly acquired McAfee Heating and Air Conditioning in Ohio.
Each brand retains its identity — and that’s intentional.
Scaling Culture, Not Just Systems
While growth has been aggressive, the company is just as focused on people as it is on profit.
Champions invests heavily in technician training, leadership development, and internal growth pathways — ensuring the culture scales with the company. Whether you’re a CSR in Phoenix or a tech in Tacoma, you’re part of something bigger, and it shows.
Behind the scenes, Champions has built a reputation for targeted, values-aligned acquisitions. They don’t just buy businesses — they bring in partners.
The group looks for operators who care about their people, have loyal customer bases, and want to scale without selling out. It’s a different playbook — one built on trust, integration, and shared standards.
As demand for essential home services continues to rise, Champions Group is doubling down. With expansion into new territories and continued investment in infrastructure, the group is positioned to lead — not just in revenue, but in how the trades operate at scale.
The Bottom Line
Champions Group didn’t grow fast by cutting corners — it grew right by building a platform rooted in people, powered by process, and aligned around long-term value.
In a sea of roll-ups and private equity plays, Champions stands out for one reason: It never forgot who it was serving.
