Flat Price Ductless Mini Splits in Waco, Texas
Updated September 2026
McLennan County heat is not a suggestion. It settles into older homes, garages, and add-on casitas until the air feels thick enough to chew. If you live in Waco and your central air does not reach the back bedroom or the garage workshop, you already know the feeling. We install ductless mini splits at flat posted prices, so you know the cost before you ever pick up the phone.
We are Old West Minisplits. We serve Austin and the I-35 corridor from San Antonio north through Waco and Killeen. No in-home sales pitch, no custom quote, no trip fee. Just a set price for a cool, quiet room. A 1 zone system is $2,000. A 2 zone system is $3,700. A 3 zone system is $5,400. That is the price. It is on the website because it is the actual price.
What the flat price actually covers
The price you see is the price you pay. For a 1 zone system, that means $2,000 for the equipment, the labor, the line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, and cleanup. We even include a Home Depot run for touch-up paint so the wall does not look like a crime scene after we leave. There are no trip fees and no surprise add-ons. You will not get a call telling you there is a premium for a Friday install or a charge for using a level.
Honest exceptions, told up front
We are not playing games with the price, but we also will not lie to you about physics. There are three things that can change the cost, and we tell you before any work starts, never after. A very long line set, meaning the outdoor unit has to sit far from the indoor head, will add material and labor. A panel upgrade the house already needed can be required to pass inspection. Unusually difficult mounting, like a wall made of stone or a unit placed twenty feet up. That is the whole list. If your job is normal, the flat price stands.
Common Waco jobs we price flat
Most of our work north of Austin is in older brick homes in Waco where the central ductwork never made it to the converted garage or the back addition. We also install in casitas, mother-in-law suites, and workshops that sweat through August. A 1 zone system handles a single large room or garage. A 2 zone system covers a bedroom and a living space. A 3 zone system works for a whole small house or an addition with multiple rooms. Mini splits are heat pumps, so they cool through brutal Central Texas summers and handle our mild winters without a furnace.
How we compare
| Factor | Old West Minisplits | The usual |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Flat and posted: $2,000 for 1 zone, $3,700 for 2 zones, $5,400 for 3 zones. | Custom quote only. Ductless installs in Central Texas commonly run $3,000-$6,000 per zone. |
| Sales process | No in-home sales visit. You request a quote, we confirm the scope, we book the install. | Most local HVAC contractors require an in-home sales visit before giving a number. |
| Surprise charges | None for the job described. The only exceptions are a very long line set, a needed panel upgrade, or unusually difficult mounting, all told up front. | Trip fees, after-the-fact line item add-ons, and adjustment charges can appear on the final invoice. |
| What you are cooling | A permanent, quiet heat pump system mounted high on the wall. It cools the room and heats it in winter. | Many Waco homeowners fall back on window units or portable ACs, which are cheap upfront but cool one room loudly, block a window, drip condensate, and are far less efficient. |
| Scope of service | Flat-price new installation only. We do not repair old systems or sell maintenance contracts. | Most local HVAC contractors bundle new installs with repair service, which sounds convenient but means their price sheet is built to cover a truck roll, not just an install. |
Straight answers
How much does a mini split cost in Waco?
A Old West Minisplits 1 zone system costs $2,000 installed. A 2 zone system is $3,700 and a 3 zone system is $5,400. That includes equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a run for touch-up paint.

Do you serve my area near Waco?
We serve Austin and the I-35 corridor, north to Waco and Killeen, and south to San Antonio. The flat pricing is the same corridor-wide. If you are in McLennan County or a nearby town along I-35, we can get you on the schedule.
Can you fix my old mini split or central AC?
No. Old West Minisplits is a flat-price new installation company. We do not offer repair service, warranty work, or maintenance contracts. If your existing mini split is leaking, making noise, or icing up, start by checking the air filter, making sure the drain line is clear, and verifying the outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves or dirt. If it is an aging or poorly installed system, chasing repairs on an old unit often costs more than it is worth, and that is a good reason to get a flat-price new install quote instead.
How far out do you schedule installs?
Scheduling depends on the season and the number of zones you need. Because we do not do in-home sales visits, the process moves quickly. Fill out the quote form with your project details and we will confirm scope, answer any questions about line set length or electrical, and put you on the calendar. We do not charge a fee to show up for the install.
