Efficient Heating and Cooling for Modular Homes
Modular homes in Central Texas require efficient heating and cooling systems to combat the region's extreme temperatures. Traditional HVAC systems can be costly and inefficient, which is why many homeowners are turning to mini splits as a viable alternative.
At Old West Minisplits, we offer flat-price mini split installations for modular homes, with prices starting at $2,000 for one zone, $3,700 for two zones, and $5,400 for three zones. Our licensed contractors will install the equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and even a Home Depot run for touch-up paint, all included in the flat price.
Benefits of Mini Splits in Modular Homes
Mini splits are ideal for modular homes because they are compact, energy-efficient, and can be easily installed in tight spaces. They also provide zoning capabilities, allowing homeowners to control the temperature in different areas of the home. This can lead to significant energy savings and increased comfort.
Additionally, mini splits are heat pumps, which means they can provide both heating and cooling, eliminating the need for a separate furnace. This can be especially beneficial for modular homes, which often have limited space for traditional HVAC equipment.
Installation Considerations
When installing a mini split in a modular home, it's essential to consider the specific needs of the home. This includes factors such as the size of the home, the number of occupants, and the climate. Our licensed contractors will work with homeowners to determine the best installation solution for their modular home.
In some cases, additional work may be required, such as a panel upgrade or a very long line set. We will discuss these potential exceptions with homeowners upfront, so they can plan accordingly. It's also important to note that our flat prices are for new installs only, and do not include repairs or service calls.
Comparing Mini Splits to Other Options
When compared to traditional HVAC systems or window units, mini splits offer a number of advantages. They are more energy-efficient, quieter, and can provide more precise temperature control. They also require less maintenance and can last longer than traditional systems.
In terms of cost, mini splits can be more expensive than some other options, but they offer long-term savings and increased comfort. Our flat prices make it easier for homeowners to budget for a mini split installation, with no surprises or hidden fees. To get started, visit our quote form at /#quote.
