TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation is a Florida-licensed air conditioning company serving Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida since 2015. Our seven offices in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Venice, Punta Gorda, North Port and Pinellas Park allow us to serve homeowners throughout Florida’s Gulf Coast.
TLS provides AC repair, new-system installation, AC replacement, preventive maintenance, heat-pump service, and ductless mini-split solutions. Summer highs across the region commonly reach the low 90s. High humidity, heavy rainfall, salt air, and long cooling seasons place added strain on compressors, coils, drain lines, refrigerant systems, and ductwork.
We complete every project under Florida HVAC License #CAC1822364 and Electrical License #EC13016589. Our team includes more than 30 trained, background-checked technicians who work as W-2 employees, never subcontractors. We pay our technicians hourly instead of through sales commissions. This approach keeps every recommendation focused on your system’s condition and your home’s cooling needs.
We provide clear diagnostic findings, practical service options, and written pricing before approved work begins. Our air conditioning services help Florida homeowners restore cooling, manage indoor humidity, improve airflow, and protect system performance during demanding weather.

In Business
We repair air conditioners that stop cooling, leak water, freeze, short-cycle, make unusual noises, or produce weak airflow. Our technicians test electrical components, refrigerant pressures, airflow, coils, thermostats, and condensate drainage before recommending repairs.
The diagnostic visit costs $125 and is credited toward an approved repair. Same-day appointments are available in many service areas.
We install residential air conditioning systems based on each home’s cooling load, layout, insulation, windows, ductwork, and humidity needs. Our process includes an ACCA Manual J load calculation, equipment matching, airflow planning, required permits, system startup, and performance testing.
This approach prevents oversized systems from short-cycling and undersized systems from struggling during Florida summers.
We help homeowners compare repair and replacement when an aging system becomes unreliable, inefficient, or expensive to maintain. Our assessment considers equipment age, repair history, refrigerant type, energy use, humidity control, warranty coverage, and major component condition.
We provide written equipment options, properly size the replacement system, handle required permits, and remove the old equipment. An R-22 system can still be repaired, but refrigerant costs and major failures may make replacement more practical.
Our AC maintenance service helps identify worn parts, drainage problems, airflow restrictions, and performance issues before peak cooling demand. The $49 tune-up includes a 13-point inspection covering refrigerant pressure, coil condition, electrical connections, thermostat calibration, safety controls, and condensate drainage.
The $99 annual Comfort Club includes a 31-point tune-up, free diagnostics, priority scheduling, and member repair savings. Ask TLS to confirm current membership terms when enrolling.
Heat pumps provide cooling and heating through one residential HVAC system. We install, diagnose, and repair heat pumps based on system capacity, airflow, refrigerant performance, electrical controls, and the condition of the reversing valve.
Our technicians explain the findings and provide written pricing before installation or repair begins. Contact TLS to confirm heat-pump service availability in your community.
Ductless mini-splits provide zoned cooling for garages, sunrooms, workshops, home additions, and spaces without suitable ductwork. Inverter-driven systems adjust their output as cooling needs change, supporting steadier temperatures and humidity control.
We calculate the required BTU capacity, plan indoor and outdoor unit placement, route refrigerant lines, install condensate drainage, and test the completed system.
Schedule a free in-home evaluation. We send a licensed technician, run a full diagnostic, and give you a written quote with zero pressure to sign anything.
We are proud to stand among Southwest Florida’s top rated air conditioning companies, delivering residential AC services.
TLS is recognized for verified industry credentials and a quality-first process that gives homeowners confidence in every quote, inspection, and installation.
Florida HVAC License #CAC1822364, so the crew at your door is verifiably qualified, not just badged.
Over a decade of experience calibrated specifically to Florida’s climate, not a national playbook applied locally.
Every quote lays out the real numbers before you decide, no pressure toward the bigger job.
TLS verifies attic R-value and duct condition before recommending a system size, most AC-only contractors never look.
As an authorized Duke Energy and FPL contractor, the exact figure appears on your written quote, not a vague promise.
On every install, no forms to track down after the crew leaves.
A straight answer on whether a repair still makes sense, before a bigger job gets recommended.
Florida systems run 10 to 12 months a year, not the 4 to 6 month season equipment up north was built for. That extra runtime is why a “15-year AC” nationally often becomes a 10 to 12 year system here.
Humidity sits between 65% and 85% most weeks, and pulling that moisture out is harder on a system than dropping temperature alone. Equipment sized without that load in mind wears faster and struggles to keep up.
Homes within a few miles of the Gulf see condenser coils corrode faster than equipment further inland. A coastal install needs different corrosion protection from day one, not an afterthought added later.
An under-insulated attic raises the cooling load your AC has to fight every day. TLS checks attic condition before sizing a system, since a properly insulated home often needs a smaller, less expensive unit. See how attic insulation affects your AC size.
Most Florida AC companies say you “might qualify for rebates.” TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation is an authorized contractor for Duke Energy and Florida Power & Light (FPL), so we handle the paperwork directly, no forms for you to fill out and no wondering if it comes through.
Here’s what that’s typically worth:
During your free estimate, we confirm your address and equipment against Duke and FPL’s current eligibility, and the rebate shows as a line item on your written quote, not a vague promise. We file the paperwork after install, and the savings come off your invoice or back to you as a check from the utility.
Call or fill out the online form, and a real dispatcher confirms your appointment and texts the technician’s name and ETA.
Your technician inspects the system, takes real measurements, and explains what’s actually wrong in plain language.
Equipment, labor, warranty, financing, and any rebates you qualify for, all itemized, fixed pricing with no surprise upsells.
Uniformed crew, clean job site, system commissioned and tested before the crew leaves.
Manufacturer warranty and our workmanship guarantee filed for you, no forms to track down later.
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.

Air conditioning service costs depend on the problem, required parts, system condition, equipment size, and installation scope. TLS uses flat-rate pricing for repairs and provides a written price before approved work begins. This helps homeowners compare maintenance, repair, and replacement options before making a decision.
Call TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation now or request a free written estimate online. A real dispatcher confirms your appointment, a licensed technician handles the job, and you get a written quote before any work starts, no surprises, no pressure.
Diagnosis runs $125, credited toward the repair if you move forward, so you're never paying twice. Common fixes like a capacitor or contactor typically land far below a full system replacement.
Under roughly 10 years old with a single-part failure usually favors repair. Past that age, or when the repair quote runs close to a third of a new install, replacement typically pays for itself through efficiency and available rebates.
A standalone tune-up is $49 flat for a 13-point inspection. The Comfort Club runs $99 a year for a deeper 31-point visit plus free diagnostics on every call, a standing option rather than a one-time upsell.
Yes, same-day dispatch is available across most of Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida, with 24/7 emergency response when a system fails outside business hours. A real dispatcher confirms your technician and arrival window.
Most installs qualify for the Duke Energy AC or heat pump rebate, and FPL customers may qualify for a separate instant rebate applied to the invoice. TLS is an authorized contractor for both, and files the paperwork directly.
Yes, $125, and it's credited toward the repair if you decide to move forward. There's no separate trip charge on top of that.
System size should come from a Manual J load calculation, not square footage alone or the nameplate on your failed unit. An under-insulated attic can push a home into a larger, more expensive system than needed.
Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Amana, Rheem, Ruud, American Standard, Bryant, York, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Maytag, Comfortmaker, and Heil, serviced without favoring one manufacturer over another.
Yes, heat pump installation and repair are available through the same written-quote process as standard AC work. Call to confirm current availability for your specific address.
Most residential installations complete in a single day, from removal of the old system to commissioning and testing the new one. Your written quote confirms the timeline before the crew arrives.
