That Bonus Room the Central AC Ignores
Every house in Killeen has one. A room above the garage, a converted sunroom, a back addition that the central unit never seems to reach. The ductwork runs out of steam before it gets there, and on a July afternoon in Bell County that room becomes an oven.
A ductless mini split solves that room directly. No ducts, no furnace, no guesswork. The price is posted up front. One zone in that room is $2,000 flat. That includes the equipment, the line set, the labor, the electrical work, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a trip to Home Depot for touch-up paint. No trip fees. No upcharges. No standoffs.
Why a Mini Split, Not More Ducts
Adding ductwork to a single room in Killeen is expensive and invasive. The central system was sized for the original floor plan, not that bonus room. Ductwork modifications often require tearing into walls and ceiling, then paying a contractor to rebalance the whole system. That process runs thousands more than a mini split and takes days.
A mini split is a heat pump. It cools that room through the brutal Central Texas summer, and it handles the mild winters without a furnace. The outdoor unit connects to an indoor head with a small line set. No new ductwork. No zone damper. No rebalancing. Just a straight install for the room that needs it.
The Flat Price Includes Everything a Killeen Homeowner Needs
The $2,000 flat price for one zone is for a new install. It is not a repair or a service call. It covers the equipment, the labor, the line set, the standard electrical connection, the refrigerant, the testing, and the cleanup. Our licensed contractors handle the installation. They also handle the Home Depot run for touch-up paint if the mount leaves a mark on the wall.
There are three honest exceptions. If the line set has to be very long, if the house needs a panel upgrade it already needed, or if the mounting is unusually difficult, we quote those separately. Those exceptions are stated up front. They are not buried in fine print.
How We Compare to the Typical Killeen Install
Most ductless installs in Central Texas run $3,000 to $6,000 per zone on a custom quote. Those contractors require an in-home visit before they give a number. You wait for them to show up, wait for the bid, and often pay for a pad or a permit or a line set that was listed as extra. Old West Minisplits posts the price online and sticks to it.
That price is for a new install of a mini split heat pump. It cools and heats that bonus room year round. If you already have a working system and need a repair, this is not the page for that. This is for the room the central AC never reaches. The price is $2,000 for one zone, $3,700 for two zones, $5,400 for three zones. Four or more zones are quoted individually.

Straight answers
What if my bonus room in Killeen is on the second floor? Does the $2,000 flat price still apply?
Yes, the $2,000 flat price covers one zone regardless of floor level. The exceptions are a very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting. Those are stated up front.
Does the $2,000 price include the electrical work for the mini split in Killeen?
Yes. Standard electrical work is included in the flat price. If the house needs a panel upgrade that was already due before the mini split, that is handled separately by a licensed electrician. Old West Minisplits does not perform panel upgrades.
Is this a repair or a service call price? It is not. The $2,000 is for a new ductless mini split install only. If you need a repair on an existing unit, this is not the right page.
This flat price is for a new install only. We do not repair mini splits. For repairs, contact a local service company.
