Cool Your She Shed for $2,000 Flat. No Games.
A she shed in Central Texas bakes under the sun eight months of the year. Window units struggle to keep up, portable ACs eat floor space, and neither handles the mild winters. You need steady cooling that also heats when a cold front rolls down the I-35 corridor.
That is a ductless mini split heat pump. And the price for a single zone in your she shed is $2,000. That is the full price. Equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, even a Home Depot run for touch-up paint. No trip fees. No upcharges. The price is posted up front. No standoffs.
Why a Mini Split Belongs in Your She Shed
A mini split is a heat pump. It delivers cold air through the brutal Central Texas summer and reverses to provide heat when the temperature drops. No furnace needed. The indoor unit mounts high on a wall, out of the way, and the outdoor compressor sits quietly behind the shed.
For a she shed between 100 and 250 square feet, a single 9,000 BTU zone is the standard fit. That one zone covers the whole space. The system runs on a standard 120-volt outlet, so the included electrical work usually ties into existing shed power. No special wiring required.
What the $2,000 Flat Price Covers
The price is $2,000 for one zone. That is new install only, not a repair or service call. It includes the equipment, the labor, the line set, the standard electrical connection, the refrigerant, the testing, and the cleanup. If the paint gets scuffed during installation, we make a Home Depot run for touch-up paint at no extra cost.
Honest exceptions exist for a very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting. Those are rare and we state them up front. Everything else is inside the flat price. You see the number. You pay that number.
Sizing Your She Shed in Under a Minute
Use the calculator on this page to confirm the right capacity. For a 100 to 250 square foot she shed with average insulation, a single 9,000 BTU unit is the typical answer. Larger sheds or those with lots of windows may bump to 12,000 BTU, but the flat price stays the same for one zone.
No need for an in-home visit. No waiting for a technician to tape a measuring wheel across your yard. The calculator gives you the size and the price together. Then you click the quote form at /#quote and pick a date. That is the whole process.

Straight answers
What is the flat price for cooling a 150 square foot she shed?
One zone at $2,000. That covers everything listed on this page. No surprise charges. The price is the price.
Do I need a panel upgrade for my she shed mini split?
If your shed already has a standard 120-volt outlet, likely not. If the shed has no power, a licensed electrician handles that separately. The $2,000 price includes connecting to existing power. A panel upgrade that the house already needed is an honest exception we state up front.
How do I know what size mini split my she shed needs?
Use the sizing calculator on this page. For a 100 to 250 square foot shed, a single 9,000 BTU unit is standard. If your shed is larger or has poor insulation, the calculator will adjust. The flat price for one zone stays $2,000.
Is this price for a repair or a service call?
No. This is a new install price only. We do not offer repairs or service calls at this flat rate. The $2,000 covers a brand new mini split system installed in your she shed.
