Flat-Price Mini Split Installation in West Lake Hills
Updated September 2026
West Lake Hills sits in Travis County, where summers are brutal and the heat does not let up. If your house was built before ductwork was standard, or if you have a garage, casita, or addition that the central system never reached, you already know the problem. Window units and portable ACs are cheap upfront, but they cool one room loudly, block a window, drip condensate, and use more power than a ductless heat pump.
Old West Minisplits installs ductless mini splits at a flat price: 1 zone for $2,000, 2 zones for $3,700, 3 zones for $5,400. That covers equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a Home Depot run for touch-up paint. Mini splits are heat pumps, so they cool through brutal Central Texas summers and handle our mild winters without a furnace. No trip fees, no surprise add-ons, no in-home sales visit required.
What the flat price covers
The posted price is the installed price. For a standard 1-zone install, that is $2,000. Two zones are $3,700. Three zones are $5,400. Included are the mini split equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical work, refrigerant, testing, and cleanup. If your wall needs a little touch-up paint after mounting, we make a Home Depot run and take care of it. There are no trip fees and no surprise add-ons.
Honest exceptions are told up front, never after the job. A very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting can add cost. Those are rare, and they get discussed before you commit.
Typical West Lake Hills jobs
West Lake Hills homes often have attached garages, detached garages, casitas, home offices, and additions that were never connected to the main ductwork. Older homes in Travis County may not have ductwork at all. A ductless mini split gives those spaces their own heating and cooling without opening walls or running sheet metal.
Because the service area includes Austin and the I-35 corridor from Waco/Killeen down to San Antonio, the same flat pricing applies across the corridor. West Lake Hills is close to the Austin core, so you get the same straightforward quote process as anywhere else. Start with the quote form, and you will know the installed price before any work begins.
Why flat price beats a custom quote
Ductless installs in Central Texas commonly run $3,000 to $6,000 per zone on a custom quote. Most local HVAC contractors are quote-based and require an in-home sales visit before they will give you a number. That process can take days and often leaves room for add-ons later.
Old West Minisplits posts flat installed prices and sticks to them. You do not need a sales visit to get a straight answer. The exceptions are honest ones: a very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting. Those get named up front, not after the fact.

How much does a mini split cost in West Lake Hills?
Old West Minisplits posts flat installed prices: 1 zone $2,000, 2 zones $3,700, 3 zones $5,400. That includes equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a Home Depot run for touch-up paint. No trip fees or surprise add-ons.

How does scheduling work?
Start with the quote form and describe the space. You get the flat price before any work begins. There is no in-home sales visit. The service area covers Austin and the I-35 corridor from Waco/Killeen to San Antonio, so West Lake Hills is included at the same posted prices.
What if my line set needs to be longer than usual or the mounting is difficult?
Those are the honest exceptions we tell you about up front. A very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting can change the price. You will hear about it before committing, not after the job starts.
Do you repair or service existing mini splits?
Old West Minisplits does flat-price new installation, not repair, warranty service, or maintenance contracts. If an existing unit is not cooling, start with the basics: clean or replace the filter, check the thermostat settings, and make sure the outdoor unit has clearance and airflow. If the system is aging, failing, or was poorly installed, chasing repairs can get expensive. A flat-price new install quote is often the better move.
