Updated September 2026

You don't need a high-pressure sales pitch. You need a crew that shows up on time, does clean work, and charges a price that doesn't change when the job is done. That is how we operate across Austin, and it is exactly what you get in the 78722 zip code. We keep one set of numbers: $2,000 for a single zone, $3,700 for two zones, and $5,400 for three zones. The equipment is name-brand, the installation is warrantied, and the quote is flat. No extra fees for a longer line set, no surcharge for a Saturday morning walkthrough, no hourly billing. Just a straight answer for a ductless mini split in 78722.

We started Old West Minisplits to cut through the nonsense. Most folks in Austin just want to cool a room that never feels comfortable, or heat a space that was never connected to the central system. In the 78722 area, we see everything from older bungalows to newer builds where the original layout didn't account for a home office or a converted garage. A mini split gives you control over that one room without tearing into walls or re-engineering your ductwork. One zone covers one space. Two zones cover two. Three zones cover three. The price is the same whether you are in the heart of Austin or right here in 78722.

What We Install in Austin 78722

We install ductless mini split heat pumps, which means you get both cooling and heating from a single wall-mounted unit. In the 78722 zip code, summers demand reliable air conditioning, and winters can use efficient heat without burning through a resistive strip. The outdoor condenser connects to the indoor air handler through a small hole in the wall, roughly three inches. No ductwork, no major framing changes. The system runs on its own dedicated circuit, and we handle the electrical from the panel to the disconnect. Every install in the 78722 area gets a factory-backed warranty on parts and a labor warranty from our crew. We do not subcontract the work.

We stick to a flat-price model that covers the most common installs we perform across Austin. For $2,000 you get one zone, meaning one indoor unit paired to one outdoor condenser, installed and running. For $3,700 you get two zones, which can be two separate rooms or one larger open area that needs two air handlers. For $5,400 you get three zones. The equipment is sized to the room, not guessed. We check square footage, window orientation, and insulation before we quote. If the site visit in 78722 shows a straightforward install, the price does not move. If the site visit reveals something unusual, we tell you before a single tool comes off the truck.

The Homes and Spaces We Work In Around 78722

Across the Austin metro, we install in every type of home you can imagine, and the calls we get from 78722 follow that same pattern. We see everything from compact mid-century houses with one stubborn hot bedroom to sprawling multi-story properties where the second floor never cools down enough. We work in homes with pier-and-beam foundations and homes on slabs. Some have attics we can run line sets through, others need a clean exterior line set tucked along the eaves and painted to match. The one constant is a room that needs its own climate control, and a homeowner who wants a fair price to get it done.

What makes a ductless system a good fit in this part of town is the flexibility. You are not committing to a whole-house overhaul. You are solving a specific problem. Maybe the original HVAC was sized for a different era, or the previous owner closed in a porch and never ran a duct. We have installed mini splits in converted garages turned into music studios, in sunrooms that bake from April to October, and in primary bedrooms where the thermostat is in a completely different part of the house. In 78722, the goal is simple: make that room comfortable year-round without a second mortgage.

Popular Uses: Garages, Home Offices, Hot Bedrooms, Casitas, Workshops, She Sheds, Additions

The most common call we get from Austin homeowners is about a room that was never meant to be lived in full-time. A garage turned into a workshop or a gym. A backyard casita that bakes in the Texas sun. A home office that gets afternoon heat and makes it impossible to focus by 2 p.m. In 78722, these spaces are everywhere, and a ductless mini split is the fastest way to make them usable. One zone covers a single enclosed room. Two zones can handle a home office and the adjacent bedroom. Three zones can cool a detached addition, a workshop, and a she shed all from one outdoor condenser.

We also see a lot of primary bedrooms that just will not cool down. Central air might be set to 72, but the bedroom reads 78 because of poor duct balancing or a long duct run. A single-zone mini split in that room fixes the problem without touching the rest of the house. The same goes for additions that were tacked on decades ago. In 78722, we have installed in sunrooms, enclosed patios, and second-story additions that never got a proper duct connection. The flat price holds. $2,000 for one zone, $3,700 for two, $5,400 for three. No add-ons for the type of room.

How Quoting and Scheduling Works in 78722

The process is built to be straightforward because we do not think you should have to sit through a presentation to get a number. You start by filling out the form on our website. Tell us how many zones you are considering and what kind of space you want to condition. We will reach out to set up a quick site visit at your 78722 property. We come out, look at the room, check the electrical panel, measure the wall where the indoor unit will go, and trace the path for the line set. That visit usually takes 30 minutes or less. We are not there to sell you. We are there to confirm the install is as straightforward as you described.

Once we confirm the scope, we lock in the flat price. For one zone, that is $2,000. For two zones, $3,700. For three zones, $5,400. We schedule the install on a day that works for you, typically within a week or two depending on the season. The crew handles everything: mounting the indoor unit, drilling the penetration, running the line set and drain, placing the outdoor condenser on a pad or wall bracket, and making the electrical connections. We clean up when we are done. We test the system in both heating and cooling mode. Then we walk you through the remote control and warranty registration. That is the whole job, and it is the same in 78722 as it is anywhere else in Austin.

Why Austin Chooses Old West Minisplits

There is a reason we run this business with an old-west flat-price mindset. We think a handshake still matters, and we think a quote given before the work starts should be the same number on the invoice when the work is done. Austin is full of hardworking people who just want a fair deal. In 78722, we have found that same spirit. You know what you need. You do not need a sales script. You need a crew that respects your time, your home, and your budget. That is the crew we bring to every job, from the first form submission to the final walkthrough.

We are not the biggest HVAC company in Austin, and we do not want to be. We want to be the one that gives you the straightest answer. A ductless mini split is not the right solution for every home, but when it is the right fit, it is the best money you can spend on year-round comfort. If you are in the 78722 zip code and you have a room that needs its own climate control, fill out the form on our site. We will get you a flat price, a clean install, and a system that works. No phone calls, no pressure, just the facts and a fair number.

Questions

Straight answers for Austin

Does the flat price cover everything, or are there hidden fees?

The flat price covers the equipment, standard installation, electrical connection from the panel to the disconnect, line set up to 25 feet, a wall bracket or ground pad for the outdoor unit, and a full system test. In the vast majority of 78722 installs, that is the complete job. If we see something unusual during the site visit, like a panel that needs upgrading or a line set run that exceeds 25 feet, we tell you before we start and agree on any adjustment. We do not surprise you on invoice day.

How long does a typical install take in Austin?

A single-zone install usually takes one crew about four to six hours from arrival to cleanup. Two-zone and three-zone installs can take a full day or a day and a half depending on the layout and line set routing. We schedule around your availability and we do not leave a mess. We protect your floors, we clean up drywall dust, and we haul off all packaging. The goal is to be in and out in a day for most 78722 jobs.

Do I need a mini split if my central AC works fine everywhere except one room?

That is exactly the scenario where a mini split makes the most sense. Running new ductwork to a single room is often more expensive and more invasive than installing a ductless unit. A single-zone mini split at $2,000 gives that room its own thermostat and its own dedicated cooling and heating. You can leave the central system at a reasonable setpoint and let the mini split handle the problem room. We see this a lot in Austin homes where the duct layout was never ideal.

Can you install a mini split in a detached structure like a garage or casita?

Yes, and we do it regularly in the 78722 area. Detached garages, backyard casitas, workshops, and she sheds are all fair game. The outdoor condenser can be placed right next to the structure, and the line set can run through the wall directly behind the indoor unit. As long as the structure has a dedicated electrical circuit or we can run one from the main panel, the install is straightforward. The flat price holds for detached spaces just like it does for rooms inside the house.

What brand of equipment do you use, and what is the warranty?

We install name-brand ductless heat pump systems that carry a manufacturer's warranty on the compressor and parts, typically 5 to 10 years depending on the model and registration. Our labor warranty covers the installation workmanship for one year. We register the warranty on your behalf after the install is complete. We do not use off-brand or builder-grade equipment. The same systems we put in 78722 homes are the ones we would put in our own.
