Flat-price ductless mini splits in Mueller
Updated September 2026
Mueller sits in Travis County, where summer heat is hard on a house and plenty of rooms never had ducts. Garages, casitas, additions, and older homes without ductwork are the usual reason people look at a mini split instead of extending a central system.
Old West Minisplits installs new ductless mini splits at a posted flat price: 1 zone $2,000, 2 zones $3,700, 3 zones $5,400. Mini splits are heat pumps, so they cool through brutal Central Texas summers and handle our mild winters without a furnace. The same prices hold from Austin along I-35 north to Waco and Killeen and south to San Antonio.
What the flat price covers
The posted number is the installed price, not a teaser. For 1, 2, or 3 zones 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.
Three things can change the number, and they are named up front, never after: a very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting. Everything else stays inside the flat price. Old West Minisplits does new installation only, not repair, warranty service, or maintenance contracts.
Typical mini split jobs in Mueller
In Mueller the work is often a garage shop, a casita, a backyard addition, or a bedroom the original ducts never reached. Newer infill and older nearby houses in Travis County share the same problem: a space that needs real cooling without opening finished walls for new duct runs.
One indoor head on one outdoor unit is a 1 zone job at $2,000. Two rooms or a larger layout is $3,700. Three zones is $5,400. Window units and portable ACs cost less on day one, but they cool one room loudly, block a window, drip condensate, and are far less efficient.
Heat pumps for Central Texas, posted before the visit
A mini split is a heat pump. It cools through brutal Central Texas summers and still heats a Mueller room in a mild winter, so that garage or addition does not need a furnace. That is the point of ductless in Travis County heat.
Most local HVAC contractors sell ductless on a custom quote after an in-home sales visit. Ductless installs in Central Texas commonly run $3,000-$6,000 per zone that way.

How do I schedule installation?
Use the quote form on this page. Posted pricing means you already know the 1, 2, or 3 zone number for a standard Mueller job. After you send the form, we confirm the layout, any of the three named exceptions, and a date. Same flat prices apply along the I-35 corridor, not only in Austin.
Will a mini split heat a Mueller room in winter?
Yes. Mini splits are heat pumps. They are built to cool through Central Texas summers and they handle our mild winters without a separate furnace. That is why they fit garages, casitas, and additions that were never ducted.
My current unit is not cooling. Can you fix it?
Old West Minisplits does new installation only, not repair or maintenance. For a unit that stopped, check the breaker, the indoor filter, leaves or dirt on the outdoor coil, and whether the outdoor disconnect is on. If the system is aging, iced up, or was a poor install, a flat-price new system is often the cleaner path than stacking repair bills. Use the quote form to price 1, 2, or 3 zones.
