TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation is a family-owned air conditioning and insulation company that has served Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida homeowners for over 11 years. We grew from a two-person operation into a full-service, licensed HVAC and insulation company with SOP-trained, certified technicians and installers.
Every job is led by two specialists: Thomas Hoerig, our air conditioning expert, and Seth Hoerig, our insulation expert. As both an AC company and an insulation company under one roof, we handle the air conditioning that keeps your home comfortable and the attic insulation and duct sealing that keep it that way.
Family-owned, in-house AC and insulation team. Trained, background-checked technicians following strict SOPs. One team for cooling and sealing, never subcontracted. Honest flat-rate pricing with guarantees in writing.
In Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida, the fastest way to lower a cooling bill is to fix both sides at once: a properly working air conditioner and a tightly sealed, well-insulated home. TLS is one of the few Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida contractors that does both.
Cooling alone can't lower your bill if your home leaks the cold air you pay for. Insulation alone can't rescue an aging AC.
Because a sealed, insulated home holds the cold, your AC cycles less, costs drop, and hot and cold spots disappear.
Does adding insulation really lower AC bills in Florida?
Yes. A sealed, well-insulated home keeps conditioned air inside, so your AC runs fewer cycles. The EPA estimates about 15% savings on heating and cooling when air sealing and insulation are done together.
Across Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida, homes face three daily pressure points: long cooling seasons, heavy outdoor humidity, and attic heat that keeps building through the day. When insulation gets thin, uneven, or outdated, your AC runs longer, rooms cool down slower, and comfort drops from one part of the home to another.
That is why homeowners across Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida turn to our air conditioning and insulation company for professional AC and insulation services, delivered by technicians and installers who understand how heat gain, weak coverage, settled insulation, and an overworked cooling system affect homes in this region.
We are one of the best air conditioning and insulation companies in the area, with a simple, well-coordinated process. We handle inspections, estimates, AC and insulation upgrades, and rebate paperwork with the local support people expect from reliable AC and insulation experts near them.
These verified reviews reflect what matters most to homeowners choosing an HVAC and insulation company. Our dependable installers, clean workmanship, responsive support, honest pricing, and finished results have earned a stellar reputation across Southwest Florida.
“TLS did an amazing job on our AC replacement. I qualified for a Duke Energy rebate program and they filled out all the paperwork — completely seamless. Met the owner Seth and really enjoyed working with his crew. Everything was done beautifully, on time, and they exceeded my expectations from start to finish.”
“TLS replaced our 14-year-old AC that had been struggling for years. The new high-efficiency system cools the whole house evenly, runs much quieter, and our electric bill dropped over $80 the first month. Crew was professional, finished in one day, and the Duke Energy rebate hit our invoice directly.”
“By far the best money spent on my home. House is much more comfortable, AC barely cycles on now compared to our old system. Whisper quiet, energy-efficient, and the install was done in a single day. Crew respected our home — drop cloths everywhere, swept up before they left. Highly recommend TLS.”
“Called TLS when our AC stopped cooling on a Saturday morning. Technician arrived within two hours, diagnosed a failed capacitor, replaced it on the spot, and had the house cooling again before lunch. Honest pricing, no upsell attempts, just straightforward repair. This is the AC company we’ll use from now on.”
“AC stopped working mid-July — TLS dispatched a tech the same day. He diagnosed the issue, replaced a failed contactor and recharged the refrigerant. Had cold air blowing within 90 minutes. Reasonable price, no unnecessary parts pushed. Honest, fast, professional — exactly what you want when your AC dies in Florida summer.”
“I had three AC companies come out for replacement quotes. TLS was the most professional and thorough — Manual J load calc, written guarantee, transparent pricing. Crew installed the new system in one day, no mess, no surprises. Our home cools faster and our July bill dropped over $100. Worth every penny.”
“TLS installed a new high-efficiency AC system for us last month. The whole house is noticeably cooler, runs much quieter than our old unit, and the FPL rebate showed up on our invoice — no paperwork on our end. Quick installation, fair price, and they explained every step. Couldn’t be happier.”
“Had TLS install a new high-efficiency AC in my 2-story home. Free estimate, no pressure, clear written quote. They sized the system correctly using Manual J load calc — my old contractor had installed an oversized unit. New install runs efficiently and keeps every room at temperature. Whisper quiet.”
“TLS came out for spring AC tune-up. Cleaned the coils, checked refrigerant pressure, inspected the condensate drain, tightened electrical connections. They caught a failing capacitor before it killed the compressor — saved me thousands. Unit runs noticeably cooler since the service. Worth every dollar.”
“Second time using TLS — first for AC replacement, now for attic insulation. Both times flawless. This is the only HVAC and insulation company I’ll ever call. Their techs are knowledgeable, respectful, fast, and clean. New AC plus better insulation cut our cooling bill 35%. 5 stars doesn’t feel enough.”
“Old AC finally gave out after 13 years. TLS came out, assessed it honestly, and walked us through repair-vs-replace numbers. New high-efficiency system is incredible — runs cool and quiet, electric bill down significantly. Clean job, permit included, FPL rebate handled. Honest, fair, professional.”
“Incredible experience. TLS was on time, professional, crew was clean and efficient. Electric bill dropped significantly the first month after our AC replacement. Best investment I ever made for my home. Would 100% recommend to anyone in Florida looking for honest AC service.”

Plenty of companies will sell you an AC or blow insulation into your attic and move on. TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation takes a more complete approach. We handle both sides of your home comfort, the cooling system and the insulation around it, so the work actually fits together in a Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida home.
Most companies are locked into a manufacturer partnership, so their “recommendation” follows the commission. We service every major AC brand sold in Florida, central systems, mini-splits, and heat pumps, with no lock-in, so our advice is about what is best for your equipment.
Every job is performed under Florida DBPR License #CAC1822364, with full liability insurance and workers’ compensation. We are also EPA Lead-Safe Certified and handle all refrigerant work safely and legally.
When we send someone to your home, you know exactly who you are dealing with. Every technician is a TLS employee, never a subcontractor, background-checked and drug-tested.
Our technicians complete 150 hours of professional training a year, well beyond the industry norm, staying current on today’s equipment, the new R-454B and R-32 refrigerants, and modern insulation methods.
You approve a written, flat-rate price before any work begins, and our No Change Order Guarantee means it never changes. If we find a problem, we quote it in writing and let you decide.
Our promise since day one. If you are not completely happy with the AC or insulation work we have done, we make it right at no cost to you.
On a service visit we can spot the attic insulation and duct problems quietly driving up your energy bills, something a cooling-only contractor never even looks at.
Veterans, active military, police, and firefighters receive exclusive savings and 48-hour priority service. We have even gifted complete HVAC systems to deserving veteran families across our Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida community.
7 locations, 30+ certified technicians, serving 100+ cities. Same-week scheduling available throughout our entire service area.
Yes. HVAC and insulation work together as one comfort system. Insulation holds conditioned air inside while your AC or mini split cools it. When attic insulation is thin, your HVAC runs longer and bills climb. TLS services both under one roof.
Yes. An uninsulated Florida attic reaches 130 to 150°F and forces your AC to run nonstop. Proper attic insulation cuts cooling costs by 20 to 30%, since cooling is the largest share of a Florida home’s energy use.
Ideally yes, or do both together. Upgrading insulation first gives an accurate load calculation, so you get a correctly sized unit instead of an oversized one. TLS assesses your R-value and cooling load in the same visit.
Florida Building Code requires attic insulation between R-38 and R-49. Most homes built before 2010 sit near R-19 to R-22, far below code, which is why older Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida homes often have overworked AC systems.
Most Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida homeowners pay between $1,500 and $4,500 to insulate or re-insulate an attic, depending on size, R-value, and whether old insulation needs removal. Blown-in fiberglass is the most cost-effective choice for Florida’s heat.
Yes, but coverage depends on licensed installation. Ductless manufacturers require a licensed contractor, otherwise the warranty is void. As a Florida-licensed contractor (CAC1822364), TLS keeps your equipment fully covered.
The biggest gains come from three areas: upgrading attic insulation, sealing leaky ducts, and maintaining an efficient AC. Since air conditioning drives about 27% of a Florida home’s energy use, improving the thermal envelope and HVAC together delivers the most comfort and savings.
Yes. In Florida, where your system runs most of the year, maintenance lowers energy use by 10 to 30%. The TLS Comfort Club includes AC tune-ups, priority service, a free diagnostic, 15% repair discounts, and fees credited toward new equipment or insulation.
Replace once the unit is past 10 to 12 years and a single repair nears $1,200 to $1,600. Repeated repairs plus lost efficiency cost more than a new system. TLS runs a True Cost of Ownership analysis so the decision is based on your real numbers.
Yes. As an authorized Duke Energy and FPL contractor, TLS gives homeowners rebates up to $800 for attic insulation and $220 for ceiling insulation, and handles all the paperwork for you.
