TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation is a family-owned company established in 2015. Our seven offices in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Venice, Punta Gorda, North Port and Pinellas Park support homeowners across Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida.
Our heat pump repair service addresses heating, cooling and mode-switching problems. Diagnosis includes relevant refrigerant, electrical, airflow and control checks to identify the cause.
We hold Florida HVAC License CAC1822364 and Electrical License EC13016589, so wiring and breaker work on a heat pump stays with our own crew. Diagnosis runs $125, credited back if you move forward with the repair.
TLS has repaired and maintained equipment in more than 54,000 Florida homes since opening in 2015, and most single-component repairs, a bad capacitor, a failed contactor, a stuck relay, finish in one visit.
A heat pump stuck in heating or cooling mode may have a valve or control fault. We check the cause before recommending component replacement.
Low refrigerant can reduce heating and cooling performance. We investigate the leak source and explain the repair needed before adding refrigerant.
Electrical faults can prevent startup or interrupt system operation. We test the relevant components to identify which repair is needed.
Persistent ice can indicate airflow, refrigerant or defrost-system problems. We inspect the affected components rather than assuming the defrost board has failed.
Incorrect signals or faulty controls can affect temperature, cycling and mode selection. We check thermostat settings and control operation during diagnosis.
Poor performance or startup failure does not automatically mean the compressor needs replacement. We check related electrical and system conditions before recommending major work.
A $125 diagnostic, credited toward the repair, gets a technician to your door and a written estimate in hand before any work starts.
Arrange an inspection if you notice:
These symptoms can have several causes. Diagnosis helps determine whether your system needs maintenance, repairs or a replacement assessment.
Every repair starts with a $125 diagnostic fee, which is credited toward the repair if you move forward, so you’re never paying twice to find out what’s wrong. After diagnosis, we provide a written estimate before any repair work begins, broken out by part and labor rather than a single bundled number.
Final cost depends on which component failed: electrical parts like capacitors and contactors are typically the least expensive fix, refrigerant leak repairs vary with leak location and accessibility, and compressor or reversing valve replacement runs highest since those are the most labor-intensive repairs on the system. None of this gets estimated over the phone; it’s confirmed on-site before you approve anything.
Yes. Under Florida Statute §559.957, a manufacturer’s warranty on a part or system is effective based on installation by a licensed contractor, not on whether a registration card got mailed in, and that protection applies to replacement parts installed during a repair the same as it does to a full system installation.
TLS backs every repair with our own labor warranty on top of whatever manufacturer coverage the replaced part carries, and we record part and serial numbers at the time of repair so there’s a paper trail if a claim ever comes up. If the home is ever sold, Florida Statute §559.956 carries any remaining manufacturer warranty to the new owner automatically, at no transfer fee.
Special offers support veterans, first responders, seniors and teachers. Eligible families may qualify; proof of affiliation may be required.
Credited toward the repair if you move forward, not a vague “flat fee” you only learn the amount once a technician is already at your door.
Every diagnostic checks both sides of what a heat pump does, not just whichever mode happened to fail.
A separate electrical license means wiring and breaker issues stay with our own team instead of getting referred to a subcontractor.
Backed by a 4.9-star rating that holds steady across six independent review platforms, not just the one a business chooses to link.
You approve the actual cost, broken out by part and labor, before work starts, never after.
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.”

If replacement is the right call, our heat pump installation page covers sizing, pricing, and rebates for a new system.
Most of the repairs on this page get caught earlier by a routine tune-up. Membership covers both sides of what a heat pump does, cooling and heating, for $99 per year, billed annually.
Membership terms, eligible services, and equipment requirements may apply.
We check heating-mode switching and assess defrost operation for faults affecting performance.
We assess refrigerant charge and airflow, which both affect your system’s heating capacity.
We check backup heat strips and controls for faults or unnecessary operation.
We explain our findings and provide written pricing before you approve repair work.
Across these six counties, our technicians reach more than 80 towns and communities, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Wesley Chapel, Bradenton, Sarasota, and Punta Gorda, plus dozens of smaller communities in between.
Get your heating or cooling problem assessed by our licensed team. We explain the findings and provide written pricing before you approve repairs.
Many faults can be repaired without replacing the entire system. The decision depends on equipment condition, repair history, warranty coverage and the proposed cost.
Cost depends on the leak location, accessibility and work required. TLS diagnoses the problem and provides a written estimate before you approve repairs.
Possible causes include thermostat settings, control faults or a reversing valve problem. An inspection identifies why the system is not switching or heating correctly.
Contact TLS to check appointment availability. Repair completion depends on the diagnosed fault and whether suitable parts are available.
The standard diagnostic fee is $125, credited toward an approved repair. Ask about applicable membership benefits or promotional exemptions when booking.
Salt exposure can contribute to corrosion on outdoor equipment. The effect varies with installation location, equipment protection and maintenance history.
Ask TLS to confirm the parts and labor coverage for your specific repair. Existing manufacturer coverage may also apply to eligible replacement components.
Check the thermostat mode and whether the air filter needs attention. Tell TLS about any tripped breaker; avoid repeatedly resetting one that continues to trip.
