Flat $2,000 Mini Split Installation in New Braunfels
Updated September 2026
If you live in New Braunfels, you already know Comal County heat. Summers here are long, and many houses were never set up for central air. Garage workshops, casitas, additions, and older homes without ductwork are the usual problem. Running new ducts through plaster and tight framing is expensive and messy.
Old West Minisplits installs ductless mini splits at a posted flat price. One zone is $2,000 installed, two zones are $3,700, three zones are $5,400. That covers equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a Home Depot run for touch-up paint. The same price holds along the I-35 corridor from San Antonio through New Braunfels and Austin north to Waco and Killeen. Start with the quote form on this page.
What the flat price covers
The number on this page is the installed price for a standard job, not a teaser. Equipment, labor, the line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a Home Depot run for touch-up paint are included. There are no trip fees and no surprise add-ons after we arrive.
Exceptions are told up front, never after. A very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting can change the number. If none of those apply, the posted price is what you pay. Old West Minisplits does flat-price new installation only.
Typical New Braunfels jobs
A lot of Comal County work is one indoor head on a garage shop, a casita, a sunroom, or a bedroom addition that never had ducts. Older houses near the river and around Gruene often need a zone where new ductwork would mean opening plaster, hardwood, and tight framing. Two and three zone jobs usually cover an addition plus a living area, or rooms that need their own temperature without tying into a furnace.
Mini splits are heat pumps. They cool through brutal Central Texas summers and handle our mild winters without a furnace. That is the right tool for New Braunfels rooms that get used year round.
Mini splits, window units, and quote-based contractors
Window units and portable ACs are cheap upfront. They cool one room loudly, block a window, drip condensate, and are far less efficient. A ductless system puts a quiet head on the wall and the compressor outside, so the window stays a window.
Ductless installs in Central Texas commonly run $3,000-$6,000 per zone on a custom quote. Most local HVAC contractors are quote-based and require an in-home sales visit. Old West Minisplits posts the price and keeps it the same corridor-wide. We do not repair existing units, sell maintenance contracts, or handle warranty service. If a unit is aging, failing, or poorly installed, a flat-price new install quote is often the cleaner path than chasing repairs.

Do mini splits heat a New Braunfels house in winter?
Yes. Mini splits are heat pumps. They cool through brutal Central Texas summers and handle mild Comal County winters without a furnace. For a garage, casita, addition, or a room with no ductwork, that is usually enough heat for our climate.
What should I do if my current AC is not cooling?
Old West Minisplits does new installation only. We do not offer appliance repair, warranty service, or maintenance contracts. Check the filter, clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit, and confirm the breaker has not tripped. If the system is still down, a failing, aging, or poorly installed unit is often a good reason to get a flat-price new install quote instead of chasing repairs on old equipment.
