Why TL Services Became AirRepair: The Same Trusted Team, Now Focused Entirely on Repairs

If you’ve been a loyal TL Services customer over the years, you may have noticed a big change — we’re now AirRepair!

But while the name is new, the heart of our company hasn’t changed one bit. We’re still the same honest, hard-working, locally-owned HVAC team you’ve trusted for years in Huntsville, Madison, and Owens Cross Roads, Alabama.

So why the name change?

It’s simple: we’re doubling down on what we do best — repairing HVAC systems, not replacing them.

A New Name for a New Era of Savings

Let’s face it — times are tough. Between inflation, supply chain issues, and tariffs driving up equipment prices, the cost of replacing a home HVAC system has skyrocketed.

Not long ago, a new heating and cooling system might have cost $6,000–$8,000 for a typical home. Today, it’s not uncommon to see quotes ranging from $12,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the size and brand.

That’s a huge hit to any homeowner’s budget — especially when most HVAC issues can be repaired for a fraction of the cost.

At AirRepair, our philosophy is simple: if your system can be fixed safely and reliably, it should be fixed — not replaced. That’s why we’ve rebranded around our true purpose: helping Huntsville homeowners extend the life of their HVAC systems and save thousands of dollars by avoiding unnecessary replacements.

The “Repair-First” Difference

When you call many HVAC companies today, the technician who shows up isn’t just there to diagnose a problem — they’re also there to sell.

It’s an industry shift that’s been hard for homeowners to spot but easy to feel in the wallet.

A small repair issue can quickly turn into a sales pitch for a full system replacement.

Why?

Because it’s easier and more profitable for many companies to sell new equipment than to take the time to repair the existing one.

That’s not how we do business.

At AirRepair, our mission is to earn trust through honesty and skill, not sales tactics. We don’t have quotas, commission goals, or manufacturer contracts pushing us toward replacements.

Our technicians are trained and rewarded for diagnosing problems accurately and getting systems back up and running efficiently — not for selling new units.

Typical Repair Costs vs. Replacement Costs

To put things in perspective, here’s what homeowners typically spend on common HVAC repairs compared to a full system replacement:

• Repair TypeAverage Cost (Parts & Labor)Capacitor Replacement$150 – $300
• Blower Motor Repair/Replacement$250 – $600
• Thermostat Replacement$150 – $400
• Refrigerant Leak Repair$300 – $1,200
• Condenser Fan Motor$250 – $600
• Furnace Ignitor Replacement$175 – $350
• Full System Replacement$12,000 – $15,000+

When you look at the numbers, it’s clear — most systems don’t need to be replaced.
With proper maintenance and timely repairs, an HVAC system can often run well for 15–20 years or more.

We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners keep their units running strong for years after other companies said “it’s time to replace.”

Inflation and Tariffs: Why HVAC Costs Have Soared

Part of our rebrand is about being honest about what’s happening in the industry.

Over the past few years, the cost of new HVAC equipment has jumped dramatically — not because of fancy new technology, but because of inflation, tariffs on imported metals, and increased manufacturing costs.

Many of the parts and materials used in heating and cooling systems — from copper tubing to aluminum fins and steel housings — have become significantly more expensive to produce and ship.

Add in global supply shortages and higher transportation costs, and the result is a massive spike in retail prices for new systems.

Homeowners are feeling it. And we decided enough is enough.

By focusing exclusively on repairs, we’re helping our community avoid these inflated costs and keep more money in their pockets — without sacrificing comfort or reliability.

Same Team. Same Service. Same Local Commitment.

We want to make one thing crystal clear:
AirRepair is still the same company you’ve known and trusted as TL Services.

We didn’t sell. We didn’t become a franchise.

We’re still 100% family-owned, locally operated, and proudly serving North Alabama.

Our technicians, our leadership, and our values are the same.

The only thing that’s changed is our name — and our sharper focus on what matters most to homeowners today: affordable, reliable HVAC repairs that extend system life.

Why “AirRepair”?

We wanted a name that instantly tells customers what we’re all about.

“AirRepair” reflects our core promise: when your comfort’s on the line, we’ll fix the problem — fast, honestly, and affordably.

It’s simple. It’s straightforward. And it’s exactly how we work.

Whether it’s your AC in the middle of a Huntsville summer or your furnace on a chilly January night, our focus is on getting your system running again quickly — without trying to upsell you something you don’t need.

Our Promise: Affordable Comfort You Can Trust

We know HVAC issues can be stressful — especially when you’re worried about getting a fair price.

That’s why AirRepair was built around three promises:

Repair First. We explore every option to repair your system before suggesting replacement.

Transparent Pricing. You’ll know what the job costs before we start — no surprises, no sales pressure.

Long-Term Value. We help you get more years and better performance out of your existing system.

What This Means for You

As AirRepair, our goal is to be the repair-first HVAC company Huntsville can trust.
We’re here for homeowners who value honesty, craftsmanship, and real savings over sales tactics.

If your air conditioner is struggling, your heat isn’t keeping up, or your energy bills have been climbing — don’t assume it’s time for a new system.

Give us a call first. Chances are, we can fix it for a few hundred dollars instead of a few thousand.

That’s the AirRepair way.

The Bottom Line

Changing our name from TL Services to AirRepair isn’t just a rebrand — it’s a renewed commitment to doing right by our customers.

We’re proud to stay independent, local, and focused on service that puts your needs first.

The HVAC industry may be changing, but our mission remains the same:
keep your system running longer, save you money, and deliver service you can count on.
