Since 2015, TLS Insulation has grown from a small, family-run operation into one of Florida’s most respected insulation contractors. Founded by three brothers—Tom, Loren, and Seth—the company was built on a foundation of craftsmanship, honesty, and a commitment to helping Florida homeowners improve comfort and energy efficiency. Today, Tom and Seth continue to lead the company from their headquarters in Pinellas Park, with additional crews serving customers from North Tampa all the way down to Naples.
TLS Insulation specializes in blown-in fiberglass insulation, attic sealing, duct sealing, attic cover installations, and blower door testing for Duke Energy. With a growing territory and rapidly increasing demand, TLS needed to upgrade their equipment to do more homes in a day and provide a larger machine for material loading. They transitioned from the Cool Machines CM2400 to the Cool Machines CM3000XL.
A Growing Company Needs a Growing Machine
TLS Insulation found themselves completing more blown-in fiberglass jobs than ever, especially through partnerships with power companies and energy-efficiency programs. The CM2400, part of Cool Machines’ respected mid-size professional line, served them well throughout their early years. However, as their job volume increased, they stepped up to the CM3000XL.
Large attic spaces, dense fiberglass materials, and tighter production schedules demanded a machine capable of higher output, stronger airflow, and greater durability. TLS needed something with the muscle to support multiple crews and fast-paced daily operations—something that could deliver more power without sacrificing precision.
Enter the Cool Machines CM3000XL.
Why TLS Insulation Chose to Add CM3000XLs
The decision to upgrade wasn’t simply about replacing older equipment—it was about making an investment in better performance, higher efficiency, and superior results for their customers.
1. Increase in Power and Production
The upgraded CM3000XL improves on the CM2400. The larger airlock option produces roughly 25-30% more increase in production. This machine allows TLS crews to install blown-in fiberglass faster, helping them finish jobs more efficiently, reduce setup time, and stay ahead of their growing workload.
2. Built for Heavy-Duty Daily Use
With multiple crews working long hours in hot Florida attics, TLS required a machine that could let them insulate multiple homes before the noon heat. The 3000XL is engineered for professional, high-volume contractors who demand reliability. Its increased hopper capacity, stronger blower, and durable internal components make it ideal for a company operating across such a large region of Florida.
3. Supporting TLS’s Continued Expansion
Since 2015, TLS Insulation has expanded from a local family business to a multi-crew operation covering much of west-central and southwest Florida. The upgrade to the CM3000XL provides the horsepower needed to support that growth.
It allows the company to maintain its core values—quality, honesty, and customer-first service—while keeping up with demand during Florida’s busiest insulation seasons.
