TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation runs a local office at 425 S Venice Blvd and serves homeowners across Englewood, Nokomis, Osprey, Vamo, North Port, Bee Ridge, Port Charlotte, Rotonda West, and Placida, in addition to Venice.
We handle AC repair, AC installation, AC maintenance, and attic insulation as one connected system, not two separate jobs, an approach that’s helped us serve over 54,000 homes across Florida’s Gulf Coast. That holds whether we’re sealing an attic near Venice High School or running a service call off E Venice Ave.
Our technicians are background-checked and trained on every major AC brand and insulation type. We hold Florida HVAC license CAC1822364 and electrical license EC13016589, and every job is backed by our guarantee: if you’re not happy with the work, you don’t pay.
That local reach matters. Our crews already know which homes near Rotonda West and Placida still carry original ductwork sized decades ago, and which newer builds around Port Charlotte and North Port run builder-grade equipment that was never matched to how hard Gulf Coast homeowners actually use their AC.
Brothers Seth and Thomas Hoerig founded TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation around one practical idea: a comfortable Florida home needs effective insulation and properly performing air conditioning.
Seth began the company in 2015 with one truck and a focus on residential insulation. He now leads the insulation side of TLS, helping homeowners address attic heat, air leakage, and insulation problems that increase pressure on cooling systems.
Thomas leads the HVAC side of the company. His work focuses on air conditioning performance, equipment sizing, system replacement, and cooling solutions designed for Florida’s long, humid summers.
Their combined experience supports a connected approach for Venice homes. Instead of treating the attic and AC system as unrelated problems, TLS considers how insulation, airflow, ductwork, and cooling equipment affect comfort together.
From its Venice office, TLS serves homeowners throughout Venice and surrounding Sarasota County communities. The company operates under Florida HVAC Contractor License #CAC1822364, with trained in-house crews completing the work without outsourcing installations to subcontractors.
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 and repair every major AC brand, including corrosion-related failures common on units exposed to salt air. A $79 diagnostic fee applies and is credited toward your repair.
When repair costs outweigh a unit’s remaining life, we replace it with equipment sized to your home’s actual square footage and duct layout, not a reorder of whatever was there before. Every replacement starts with a written, free estimate.
Garages, Florida rooms, and additions that your main system can’t reach get their own dedicated ductless unit, installed and wired without tearing into existing ductwork or drywall.
New construction, additions, and homes adding cooling for the first time get a full system sized to the space, installed to Florida Building Code, and permitted through the appropriate local authority.
Our $49 tune-up runs a 13-point check on your system, catching worn parts and refrigerant issues before they turn into a breakdown mid-summer.
Not sure if that noise, smell, or warm air means a simple fix or a bigger problem? We walk you through what the symptom usually means before a technician steps onto your property.
We bring attics up to the Florida Building Code Climate Zone 2 standard of R-38, the depth that actually stops roof heat from pushing down into your living space.
Exterior walls in older Venice homes often have gaps original construction never sealed. Blown-in material fills those cavities without opening up drywall or disturbing finished rooms.
Insulation that’s been soaked, compressed, or contaminated comes out completely before new material goes in, so you’re never paying to insulate over a problem that’s still there.
Ductwork running through a hot attic loses cooled air through small gaps and seam failures. We mastic-seal every connection we can reach, keeping conditioned air where it belongs.
Loose-fill fiberglass gets blown into attics, walls, and hard-to-reach cavities at the depth your home actually needs, not a flat, one-size application.
Fitted batt material handles walls, floors, and additions where blown-in isn’t practical, cut and installed to fit tight against framing without gaps.
An uninsulated garage door lets heat radiate straight into the rooms next to it. Insulating the door cuts that transfer and quiets street noise too.
Our full insulation lineup, from attic to garage door, built around what Florida’s heat and humidity actually do to a home over time, not a generic national checklist.
Get a free, no-obligation estimate on AC repair, installation, or attic insulation. Call us or schedule online, and we will have a licensed technician on the way.
Every technician is fully licensed, insured, and background-checked before stepping onto your property.
If a repair doesn’t hold, we come back and fix it at no additional charge.
Your AC and attic insulation are handled by the same crew, not two separate contractors.

TLS is a participating rebate contractor for Duke Energy and FPL on qualifying AC and insulation upgrades across the Venice area. We help you apply for the right program for your system. The federal 25C tax credit for HVAC upgrades expired December 31, 2025, so ask us which Duke Energy or FPL rebate currently applies to your project.
Reach our dispatch team by phone or through our online form, any day of the week.
We review your AC symptoms before arrival, so the right parts are already on the truck.
A licensed technician inspects your system and gives you a written price before any work starts.
Most repairs finish during that same visit, using parts our trucks already carry.
We test the repair, confirm proper cooling, and back the work with our guarantee.
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.
We offer special discounts to military veterans, first responders, senior citizens, and teachers across Venice. It’s our way of saying thank you to the people who serve our community every day.
This discount extends to immediate family members, and proof of affiliation may be required. Ask about your eligibility when you schedule service.
TLS makes AC repairs, installs, and insulation upgrades easier to afford through our Wisetack financing partnership, breaking the cost into monthly payments you can plan around.

Venice’s historic downtown and island neighborhoods were built mostly in the 1920s under the city’s original Mediterranean Revival plan, a history the Venice History Museum documents in detail. Barrel-tile roofs, deep eaves, and shallow attic spaces were never designed to hold modern ductwork or today’s insulation depth.
The deep eaves and low-pitched attics common on the island limit how much insulation and ductwork a home can actually hold, which shapes every retrofit before we open the hatch.
Homes near Venice Beach, Service Club Park, and the Venice Drum Circle commonly carry decades-old insulation compressed to a fraction of current R-38 code.
We’ve pulled failing insulation and resealed ductwork on service calls along E Venice Ave, near Venetian Waterway Park, and at properties like Venice Sands Apartment, where original construction left gaps that extra cooling alone can’t make up for.
North Venice and Toscana Isles represent some of the fastest residential growth in the Venice area, built under current energy code but sized by national builders for a standard household schedule.
Standard builder sizing assumes mornings and evenings of AC use, not a home that runs it nearly around the clock.
A large share of residents here are retirees and seasonal residents, and that constant run time wears through builder-grade equipment and minimum-code insulation faster than a part-time household would.
We service properties near Venice High School, South Brohard Beach Paw Park, Pinebrook Meadow Trail, N Auburn Rd, and Capri Isles Blvd, sizing replacement systems for actual daily run time rather than a generic occupancy assumption.
TLS Air Conditioning & Insulation answers emergency AC and insulation calls around the clock across Venice, Florida, from the historic island to the newest growth corridors inland. Search “near me” and you’ll find our crews already working close to you, day or night.

Your AC or attic insulation won’t wait for a convenient day, and neither do we. Call now for same-day service, or book online and pick a time that works for you.
A tune-up is a scheduled maintenance visit. Our $49 service covers a 13-point check to catch wear before it causes a breakdown. A full inspection happens during a diagnostic or pre-purchase visit and goes deeper into duct connections, electrical components, and overall system condition. Both matter, but they’re not interchangeable.
If the repair cost runs close to half the price of a new system, or the unit is past 10 to 12 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We give you both numbers in writing during the estimate so you can decide with real information, not a guess.
Yes. We install heat pumps as part of our AC installation services, sized to your home’s actual layout and cooling load rather than a generic recommendation. Heat pumps can be a strong fit for Venice’s mild winters, and we’ll walk you through whether one makes sense for your system.
Not always. Many historic homes near Venice’s downtown core carry insulation levels well below Florida’s current R-38 attic standard, which some lenders and inspectors flag during a sale. We can bring attic insulation up to code before a listing goes live, which avoids a surprise during inspection.
Rising utility bills, uneven room temperatures, and visible compression or water staining in the attic are the clearest signs. Insulation that’s been there 15 to 20 years or longer has usually settled well below its original R-value, even if it looks intact from a quick glance.
Sometimes. Communities like North Venice and Toscana Isles were built to current energy code, but builder-grade insulation is installed to the minimum requirement, not necessarily the level that performs best under Florida’s heat and humidity. We check actual depth and coverage rather than assuming code minimum means code maximum.
Most single-system installations finish in a single day, start to finish, including removal of the old unit. Larger jobs involving ductwork changes or additions may take longer, and we’ll give you a specific timeline during your free estimate.
Usually, yes. Ductwork in older homes often runs through attic space that was never designed for it, and small leaks let cooled air escape before it reaches your rooms. Sealing those leaks is typically cheaper than upsizing the AC system to compensate for the loss.
Warranty terms depend on the manufacturer and the specific equipment installed, and we review the exact coverage with you before you sign off on a system. Every installation is also backed by our own workmanship guarantee, separate from the manufacturer’s parts warranty.
