Flat-price mini split installation in East Austin
Updated September 2026
If you live in East Austin, you already know Travis County summers. Older homes, garage conversions, casitas, and additions often have no ductwork at all. Window units and portable ACs are cheap upfront but cool one room loudly, block a window, drip condensate, and are far less efficient. A ductless mini split is a heat pump that cools that space through brutal Central Texas summers and still heats our mild winters without a furnace.
Old West Minisplits posts a flat installed price for new systems: 1 zone $2,000, 2 zones $3,700, 3 zones $5,400. That price is the same from East Austin along the I-35 corridor, north to Waco and Killeen and south to San Antonio. Ductless installs in Central Texas commonly run $3,000-$6,000 per zone from quote-based contractors who want an in-home sales visit first. Start with the quote form on this page.
What the $2,000, $3,700, and $5,400 prices cover
The posted number is the installed price for a new ductless mini split. It includes equipment, labor, the line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a Home Depot run for touch-up paint. There are no trip fees and no surprise add-ons. Honest exceptions are told up front, never after: a very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting. Old West Minisplits does flat-price new installation only, not repair, warranty service, or maintenance contracts. Use the quote form on this page.
Typical East Austin mini split jobs
East Austin work is often a garage turned into living space, a casita behind an older Travis County house, a rear addition, or a room that never got ducts. One indoor head on a single zone at $2,000 covers a studio, garage apartment, or one hard-to-cool room. Two or three zones at $3,700 or $5,400 cover a main room plus a bedroom, or a house plus a casita. The same flats apply if you are on the I-35 corridor rather than inside East Austin proper.

My AC or window unit is not working. Can Old West Minisplits repair it?
Check the breaker, replace a dirty filter, and confirm the outdoor unit has power and a clear area around it. Window units and portable ACs often fail in Texas heat, run loud, block a window, and drip. Old West Minisplits does not repair existing units and does not sell warranty service or maintenance contracts. A failing, aging, or poorly installed system is often a good reason to get a flat-price new install quote instead of chasing repairs on an old one. Use the quote form on this page.
