Efficient Cooling for Your Bonus Room
A bonus room over a garage can be a comfortable retreat, but it can also be a challenge to cool. The space is often poorly insulated and has large windows, making it difficult to regulate the temperature. This can lead to high energy bills and discomfort during the hot summer months.
Old West Minisplits offers a solution with our flat-price ductless mini split installation. Our prices start at $2,000 for a single zone, and we include everything needed for a complete installation, including equipment, labor, and standard electrical work. This makes it easy to budget for your project and enjoy efficient cooling in your bonus room.
Sizing Your System
To determine the right size for your ductless mini split system, we consider the square footage of your bonus room. For a room between 200-400 square feet, a single zone system is often sufficient. However, if you have large windows or poor insulation, you may need a larger system.
Our flat prices are based on the number of zones needed for your installation. A single zone costs $2,000, while a two-zone system costs $3,700. We also offer a three-zone system for $5,400. If you need a system with four or more zones, we will provide a custom quote.
Installation Considerations
When installing a ductless mini split system in a bonus room, we need to consider the location of the outdoor unit and the line set. A very long line set may require an additional charge, and we will discuss this with you upfront. We also include standard electrical work in our flat price, but if your home needs a panel upgrade, this may be an additional cost.
Our installations are performed by licensed contractors who will ensure that your system is installed correctly and functions efficiently. We also include a Home Depot run for touch-up paint, so you can finish any cosmetic work after the installation.
Comparing Your Options
Ductless mini split systems are a popular choice for cooling bonus rooms because they are efficient and cost-effective. Compared to window units, they are more efficient and can provide both heating and cooling. They are also a good alternative to extending your existing ductwork, which can be expensive and invasive.
When comparing prices, keep in mind that other contractors may charge $3,000-$6,000 per zone for a custom quote, and may require an in-home visit before providing a price. At Old West Minisplits, we offer flat prices starting at $2,000 for a single zone, with no surprise costs or fees.
