Flat-Price Ductless Mini Splits in Austin 78737
Updated September 2026
We sell and install ductless mini splits the old way. You get a firm price before we ever roll a truck, and that price covers everything: the outdoor unit, the indoor air handler, the line set, the electrical whip, the pad, the labor, and a full warranty. No hourly rates, no trip charges, no material upcharges snuck onto the invoice after the work is done. If you live in the 78737 zip code and need real cooling without the headache of ductwork, you have found your crew. We keep it simple so you know exactly what you are spending before you spend it.
Austin summers do not mess around, and 78737 gets every bit of that Texas heat. A mini split puts the cooling right where you need it, whether that is a garage that bakes all afternoon, a bonus room the central AC never quite reaches, or a new casita out back. We have installed thousands of units across the Austin metro, and we have seen every kind of setup you can imagine. The flat price is what sets us apart. $2,000 for one zone, $3,700 for two, $5,400 for three. That is the deal, and it is the only deal we offer.
What We Install in Austin 78737
We install cold-climate ductless mini split heat pumps from a name-brand manufacturer that stands behind their equipment. These are not the cheap off-brand units you see on a pallet at a big box store. We use inverter-driven systems that ramp up and down to hold temperature steady, which means they are quiet, efficient, and tough enough to handle the temperature swings we get around Austin. The outdoor unit sits on a level pad beside the house or on a wall bracket, and the indoor unit mounts high on the wall with a slim line set running outside. Clean, simple, built to last.
Every install in 78737 includes a 12-year parts warranty and a 2-year labor warranty from us. We pull permits where required, and our work meets or exceeds the Texas mechanical code. The flat price covers a standard installation with up to 25 feet of line set, a dedicated electrical circuit off the main panel, and a wall-mounted air handler. If your setup needs a longer line run, a condensate pump, or a floor-mounted unit, we will quote that clearly before you commit. You will never see a change order that was not discussed upfront.
The Homes and Spaces We Work In Around 78737
Across the Austin metro, we see everything from 1970s ranch houses with attached garages to brand new two-story builds with open floor plans, and the 78737 area is no different. The common thread is that central air conditioning does not always solve every problem. A bonus room over the garage stays warm no matter what the thermostat says. A sunroom added decades ago cooks in the afternoon. A detached workshop has no ductwork at all. That is where a mini split shines. We size the unit to the room, not the whole house, so you get exactly the cooling you need without wasting energy.
We work in primary bedrooms, living areas, converted attics, and backyard studios. The indoor unit is about 36 inches wide and 12 inches tall, so it tucks up near the ceiling and stays out of the way. The outdoor unit is roughly the size of a suitcase and runs so quietly you will forget it is there. We have put these in pier-and-beam houses, slab-on-grade homes, and everything in between. If you have a space in 78737 that needs its own zone of cooling, we can almost certainly make it work for the flat price you see on this page.
Garages, Home Offices, Hot Bedrooms, Casitas, Workshops, She Sheds, and Additions
The most popular request we get around Austin is a garage mini split. A garage in 78737 turns into an oven from June through September, and a single-zone unit for $2,000 turns it into a usable workshop, gym, or hangout space year-round. The second most common call is a home office. With more people working remotely, a spare bedroom or a converted formal dining room needs its own climate control, especially when the afternoon sun hits that side of the house. One zone, one flat price, and you can actually focus on your work instead of sweating through it.
We also do a lot of casitas and backyard studios. If you built a guest house or an ADU in the 78737 area, running ductwork from the main house is expensive and invasive. A ductless mini split solves that completely. The outdoor unit goes behind the casita, the indoor unit goes on the wall inside, and the whole thing is done in a few hours. We have put these in she sheds, pool houses, recording studios, and home additions of every size. A two-zone setup for $3,700 covers a small casita with a living area and a bedroom, and a three-zone system for $5,400 handles larger guest quarters with separate rooms.

Straight answers for Austin
Does the flat price really include everything for a mini split install in Austin 78737?
Yes. The flat price covers the outdoor unit, the indoor wall-mounted air handler, up to 25 feet of line set, a dedicated electrical circuit, a pad or wall bracket, and all labor. We also include a 12-year parts warranty and a 2-year labor warranty. The only time the price changes is if your job requires something outside the standard scope, like a much longer line run, a floor-mounted unit, or a condensate pump. We will tell you about any extras before you commit, and you will never see a surprise charge after the work is done.
How long does a typical install take in the 78737 area?
A single-zone install usually takes four to six hours from the time we arrive until we pack up and leave. Two-zone and three-zone jobs typically take a full day, and larger or more complex layouts can stretch into a second day. We will give you a clear timeline when we confirm your quote. We work clean and efficient, and we respect your time. Most homeowners in Austin are surprised at how fast the job goes once the crew gets started.
Can you install a mini split in a room that has no attic or crawl space?
Absolutely. That is one of the biggest advantages of a ductless system. We run the line set along the exterior wall, covered by a slim plastic channel that matches your siding or brick. The indoor unit mounts on an exterior wall, and the line set goes straight out the back through a small hole. We seal it tight and make it look clean. We have done hundreds of installs in Austin homes with no attic access, and the finished result is tidy and professional.
Do I need a permit for a mini split in Austin 78737?
In most cases, yes. We pull the required permits for every job in the 78737 zip code where the local jurisdiction requires it. The permit cost is included in the flat price. We handle the paperwork and schedule the inspection if one is needed. You do not need to deal with the city or county yourself. We make sure the install meets code so you have peace of mind and a system that is safe and legal.
What brand of mini split do you install around Austin?
We install cold-climate inverter heat pumps from a major name-brand manufacturer with a strong parts network and a solid warranty. We chose this brand because the units are reliable, quiet, and efficient, and because the company stands behind them with a 12-year parts warranty when installed by a licensed contractor. We do not install off-brand internet units or customer-supplied equipment. The equipment we use is proven in the Texas heat, and we stock parts and accessories to service what we sell.
