We install, repair, maintain and replace garage mini split systems. Our team assesses insulation, sun exposure and garage use before recommending equipment. Installation covers indoor and outdoor units, refrigerant lines, drainage and performance testing.
Our licensed, in-house team is backed by a 5-star Google rating and 4,000+ five-star reviews. Ask about our $99 annual Comfort Club and eligible community discounts for veterans, first responders, teachers and senior citizens.
TLS installs, repairs, maintains and replaces ductless mini splits for Florida garages. Each service considers your garage’s condition, cooling needs and how you use the space.
We assess your garage’s heat load before recommending equipment and installation locations. Your system provides separate temperature control without extending your home’s existing ductwork.
Poor cooling, water leaks and error codes need inspection before parts are replaced. We explain the findings and provide written pricing before you approve repairs.
Dust buildup and drainage problems can affect airflow and cooling performance. Our maintenance visits check system condition and identify issues needing further attention.
We compare repair options with replacement based on condition, cost and warranty coverage. New equipment is selected for your garage’s current layout and cooling needs.
Florida garages gain heat through sun-exposed doors, roofs and poorly insulated walls. Fans move air but do not lower the temperature or remove moisture.
A properly sized garage mini split provides cooling without extending your home’s ductwork. Insulation and air sealing help reduce heat gain and support temperature control.
Heat can pass through shared walls, adding to your home’s cooling load.
High temperatures can damage stored items and make workshops uncomfortable.
Excess moisture can encourage rust, mold growth and damage to stored belongings.
Frequent garage door openings bring hot, humid air into the space.
Sizing is the single biggest factor in how well a garage mini split performs. An undersized unit runs constantly and never catches up to Florida heat, while an oversized one cycles on and off too fast to pull humidity out of the air, leaving the garage cool but still damp.
| Garage Type | Square Footage | Typical BTU Range |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Car Garage | 200-400 sq ft | 9,000-12,000 BTU |
| 2-Car Garage | 400-600 sq ft | 12,000-18,000 BTU |
| 3-Car Garage | 600-900 sq ft | 18,000-24,000 BTU |
| Large Workshop | 900+ sq ft | 24,000+ BTU |
These ranges are a starting point, not a final number. Insulation level, ceiling height, sun exposure on the garage door, and whether the space holds heat-generating equipment can all push the real requirement toward the top of the range or outside it entirely, which is why we confirm every job with a Manual J load calculation instead of sizing off the table alone.
We install, repair and maintain Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Pioneer garage mini splits. Equipment options depend on your cooling needs, garage layout and budget.

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 Tampa Bay & Southwest Florida.
“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.”
“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.”

Every TLS proposal lists the manufacturer’s parts coverage and our labor warranty on the written quote, with the exact term depending on the brand and equipment tier you choose. We install under Florida HVAC License CAC1822364, and we record the model and serial numbers and register the manufacturer’s warranty after the job is complete.
Under Florida Statute 559.957, the full offered warranty begins on the installation date once a Chapter 489 licensed contractor installs the system, and a manufacturer can’t shorten that coverage because a registration form wasn’t submitted. Florida Statute 559.956 also transfers an active manufacturer warranty to a new homeowner at no fee if you sell the home, with the original expiration date unchanged.
Keep your invoice, model and serial numbers, and permit together. Documented maintenance visits help keep that coverage intact if a claim ever comes up.
For $99 a year, the TLS Comfort Club covers two seasonal tune-ups on your garage mini split, plus a discounted rate on repairs for members. A garage unit works harder than one indoors, so catching a weak capacitor or low refrigerant charge before peak summer is the difference between a tune-up and an emergency call.
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.
Stop guessing at a window unit or a portable fan. Get a free, written quote sized to your garage by Manual J calculation, not a square-footage estimate.
A 24×24 garage measures 576 square feet, but area alone cannot determine capacity. Insulation, ceiling height, sun exposure and garage use affect the required BTU output. See our garage mini split sizing guide for planning ranges.
One system may work in an open garage with suitable capacity and airflow. Divided spaces or obstructions may require multiple indoor units. A load and layout assessment helps determine the right setup.
Installation costs depend on equipment capacity, efficiency, refrigerant line length and electrical work. TLS provides a written estimate after assessing your garage and installation requirements.
Permit requirements depend on your location and the mechanical and electrical work involved. Your installation proposal should explain the required permits and who handles them.
Installation time depends on equipment placement, electrical preparation and refrigerant line routing. TLS confirms the expected schedule after assessing the work and permit requirements.
The decision depends on the fault, repair cost, system condition and warranty coverage. Repeated problems or unsuitable capacity may favor replacement, but age alone does not decide.
Insulating and sealing the garage door can reduce heat gain and cooling demand. Assessing these improvements before equipment selection helps avoid sizing around preventable heat loss.
Manufacturer coverage varies by model, while installation and labor coverage have separate terms. Ask for the applicable duration, exclusions and maintenance requirements in writing before approving installation.
Ask TLS whether your equipment qualifies for the $99 annual Comfort Club. Confirm the maintenance scope, diagnostic benefits and repair discounts before enrolling.
