TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation is a 24 hour HVAC company serving Sarasota from our office at 3230 Southgate Cir Ste 109. Our service area reaches Bee Ridge, Fruitville, The Meadows, Vamo, Longboat Key, Osprey, Oneco, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Foxleigh, and Palmetto, in addition to Sarasota itself, serving Florida’s Gulf Coast since 2015.
We provide 24/7 emergency AC repair, AC installation, AC maintenance, duct sealing, duct resizing, and attic insulation upgrades, built around Sarasota’s two very different climate stresses: salt air corrosion on units near the islands, and humidity trapped under mature tree canopy shading older neighborhoods like Laurel Park. Day or night, our crews respond the same day you call.
TLS holds Florida HVAC license CAC1822364 and electrical license EC13016589. Every technician is background-checked and trained on every major AC brand and insulation type, and every job is covered by our guarantee: if you’re not happy with the work, you don’t pay.
Brothers Seth and Thomas Hoerig founded TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation in 2015. Each brother leads a different side of home comfort, giving Sarasota homeowners one team for connected insulation and HVAC needs.
Seth serves as the company’s insulation expert. His work focuses on attic heat, insulation performance, and air leakage that can increase cooling demands inside Florida homes.
Thomas leads the HVAC side of TLS. He focuses on air conditioning performance, correct equipment sizing, system replacement, and cooling challenges caused by Sarasota’s heat and humidity.
Their combined approach reflects how homes actually perform. An efficient air conditioner may still struggle when attic insulation, ductwork, or air sealing allows heat to enter the living space.
Sarasota is now part of TLS’s seven-office network serving Florida’s Gulf Coast. Seth guides the company’s insulation expertise, while Thomas oversees its HVAC direction, helping TLS provide informed recommendations across both services.
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.
“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.”
We diagnose before we quote, since coastal units near the islands usually fail from salt corrosion while shaded, tree-covered homes fail from clogged airflow. The $79 diagnostic fee rolls straight into your repair cost if you move forward with us.
A replacement system gets sized for your home’s actual exposure, salt air or heavy shade, not a copy of whatever unit is failing. Every replacement starts with a free, no-pressure estimate and a proper load calculation for your property.
Sunrooms, garages, and additions your main system skips entirely get dedicated cooling through a ductless mini-split, installed and maintained by the same crew that services your whole-home AC, including condo properties with exterior restrictions.
New construction and room additions get a system built for the specific space and its exposure, whether that’s open sun near the water or deep shade closer to downtown, never a generic one-size unit.
Our $49 tune-up runs a 13-point inspection designed to catch early coil corrosion on coastal units and clogged airflow on shaded units, before either turns into a mid-summer breakdown that could’ve been avoided.
Before a technician shows up, we help you rule out the obvious, a tripped breaker, a clogged filter, a thermostat setting, so your visit goes straight to fixing the actual problem instead of the easy guesses.
We insulate attics to the Florida Building Code Climate Zone 2 minimum of R-38, a benchmark that matters even more under heavy tree canopy, where trapped humidity works against insulation that’s thinning or unevenly spread.
Exterior walls in Sarasota’s older bungalow neighborhoods often carry gaps left by original construction decades ago, and blown-in insulation seals them without opening up drywall or disrupting the home’s character.
Wet, compressed, or contaminated insulation comes out first, since layering fresh material over a damaged layer just hides the problem rather than solving what’s actually driving your energy bill up.
Every loose joint in attic ductwork leaks cooled air before it reaches your rooms, and humid, shaded attics make that leak worse over time. We mastic-seal those connections so cooled air stays where it belongs.
For attics, tight wall cavities, and spaces batts can’t reach, we blow in fiberglass insulation to the actual depth your home needs, accounting for the moisture load specific to Sarasota’s coastal and shaded properties.
Framed walls, floors, and additions where blown-in material isn’t practical get fitted batt insulation cut to the cavity, installed without gaps or compression that would undercut its performance.
An uninsulated garage door passes attic-level heat and humidity straight into the rooms next to it. Insulating it cuts off that transfer at the source, year round.
Our full insulation lineup, from attic to garage door, is built around what Sarasota’s coastal and historic properties actually need to perform, not a one-size approach pulled from a different climate.

We’ve serviced Sarasota’s barrier islands and shaded, historic neighborhoods for over a decade, so we know which problem is which on sight.
TLS has serviced more than 54,000 homes across Florida’s Gulf Coast, giving Sarasota homeowners a proven, verifiable track record behind every call.
We hold Florida HVAC license CAC1822364 and electrical license EC13016589, so every job meets state code, not a shortcut version of it.
Every technician we send is background-checked, in-house, and trained on every major AC brand and insulation type before stepping onto your property.
You’ll get a clear, written price before any work begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay, with no hidden fees.
If you’re not satisfied within the first year, we’ll make it right or remove the system and refund your money, no exceptions.
Licensed technicians, installers and office staff who answer your call and come to your home.
TLS is a participating rebate contractor for both Duke Energy and FPL on qualifying AC and insulation upgrades across Sarasota. Which program applies depends on your utility provider, your system type, and the specific upgrade, so we walk you through eligibility before any work starts.
The federal 25C tax credit for HVAC upgrades expired December 31, 2025, and no longer applies to new installs. Ask us which current Duke Energy or FPL rebate fits your project before you book.
Reach our Sarasota team by phone or online, and we’ll confirm a same day appointment window that fits your schedule.
Our technician shows up in a fully stocked truck, ready to handle most AC, duct, and insulation jobs in one visit.
We inspect your system on site, checking for salt corrosion near the islands or trapped humidity and clogged airflow under heavy tree canopy.
We walk you through what’s wrong and what it costs in plain language, with no jargon and no pressure to upsell.
We finish the repair, replacement, or insulation upgrade to code, then run a full system test before we leave.
Insulation protects your AC’s efficiency, and the Comfort Club protects the system itself. For $99 a year, members get two seasonal tune-ups and a discounted rate on repairs, so a weak capacitor or low refrigerant charge gets caught before peak summer, not during it.
Military veterans, first responders, senior citizens, and teachers across Sarasota qualify for a special discount on AC and insulation service with TLS, our way of thanking the people who keep this community running.
This discount extends to immediate family members, and proof of affiliation may be requested. Mention your eligibility when you schedule service and we’ll confirm the discount on the spot.
Sarasota’s older neighborhoods near downtown carry decades of mature oak canopy that newer parts of Florida simply don’t have. That shade creates a different problem than direct sun: trapped humidity and constant debris working against both the AC and the attic.
Homes in Laurel Park and nearby tree-lined streets stay shaded most of the day, which blocks the airflow that would otherwise help an attic vent naturally. Humidity gets trapped against insulation that’s often decades old, and it compresses faster than insulation in a sun-exposed attic.
Mature canopy drops leaves, pollen, and debris onto outdoor condensers year-round, especially near Booker High School and Sarasota High School where tree cover runs block after block. We check coil cleanliness on every maintenance visit here, since clogged airflow cuts efficiency long before a unit quits.
Properties near Luke Wood Park South and Art Center Sarasota often predate current energy codes, with ductwork and insulation levels that don’t match today’s standards. We size replacement systems for the home’s actual construction and shade coverage, not a generic load calculation.
TLS makes repairs, replacements, and insulation upgrades easier to afford through our Wisetack financing partnership. Finding out what you qualify for takes minutes and leaves your credit score untouched. Get your free estimate, then choose a monthly plan sized to your project.

Homes in Lido Shores and Bay Island sit close to open water, and that proximity changes what an AC system has to withstand. Salt-laden air corrodes outdoor condenser coils and electrical contacts faster than it does further inland.
Canal-adjacent attics run damper for longer stretches of the year, which pushes insulation toward compaction and reduced R-value well before it shows up on a utility bill. We reach these island and waterway streets from the bayfront corridor near Whitaker Gateway Park, traveling N Washington Blvd and Fruitville Rd to get there. On every canal-front service call, we check coil condition and connections and size insulation specs for the added corrosion and moisture load these homes carry.
Cherokee Park, Amaryllis Park, Sarasota Heights, and Oakwood Manor hold some of the city’s oldest housing stock, built under mature oak canopy. That canopy blocks direct sun but traps humidity against rooflines and drops leaf litter into condenser coils year-round.
Many of these homes were insulated decades before current R-38 attic standards existed. The ductwork often runs through attic space that was never designed for today’s equipment loads.
On service calls near N Orange Ave, Luke Wood Park South, Sarasota High School, and Art Center Sarasota, we regularly find original insulation settled to a fraction of its rated thickness and condensers surrounded by accumulated leaf debris. We clear and inspect coils, check attic insulation depth against current code, and plan AC installation and insulation upgrades around the shade and age these properties carry.
TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation dispatches technicians across every corner of the city, from the barrier islands to the shaded, historic streets near downtown. No matter where you’re located, help arrives the same day you call, not days later.

Your AC or attic insulation will not wait for a convenient day, and neither do we. Our Sarasota crew is ready to diagnose the problem, explain it in plain terms, and get it fixed on the same visit whenever possible. Call now for same-day service, or book online and pick a time that works for you.
Yes. We handle AC repair, AC installation, and attic insulation for homes throughout Sarasota, from the barrier islands to the older neighborhoods near downtown. One crew, one call, covers both systems.
We offer same-day service for most Sarasota AC calls. Call us and we will give you a realistic arrival window for the day rather than a vague “sometime today.”
Yes. Homes near the water deal with faster coil corrosion and worn electrical contacts than homes further inland. We check for salt-related wear on every service call in those areas and recommend protective coatings where it makes sense.
Mature canopy traps humidity against the roofline instead of letting it vent off in direct sun. That trapped moisture causes insulation in Sarasota’s older, shaded neighborhoods to compress and lose R-value faster than insulation in a newer, sun-exposed attic.
Membership includes two tune-up visits a year, a full system inspection, an attic insulation check, priority scheduling, a member discount on repairs, and no overtime charges for off-hours calls.
Duke Energy and FPL both offer rebate programs for qualifying high-efficiency AC upgrades in this area. Availability and amounts depend on your utility provider and the equipment installed, so we confirm current rebate eligibility before you commit to a system.
Yes. We hold Florida contractor license CAC1822364 for HVAC work and EC13016589 for electrical work tied to HVAC installs, and we carry both on every Sarasota job.
A diagnostic visit is $79. That fee covers a full inspection to find the actual cause, and we apply it toward the repair cost if you move forward with the work.
It depends on the repair cost versus the system’s remaining life. As a rule, if a repair costs more than half the price of a new system, or the unit is past 10 to 12 years old, replacement usually saves more money over time. We will give you both numbers before you decide.
