A Playroom Addition That Stays Cool Without a Standoff
A kids' playroom addition in Belton sounds simple until July hits. That square footage turns into a heat box by noon, and the rest of the house's central air was never sized for it. You end up with a room nobody uses for five months of the year.
Old West Minisplits fixes that with a flat price posted up front. One zone is $2,000, two zones are $3,700, three zones are $5,400. That covers equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and even a Home Depot run for touch-up paint. No trip fees, no haggling.
Why a Playroom Addition Needs Its Own Zone
Playrooms generate heat from more than the sun. Kids running, gaming consoles, and afternoon light through windows push a room hot even when the rest of the house feels fine. A mini split gives that addition its own thermostat, so you stop chilling the whole house to make one room tolerable.
Belton sits right on the I-35 corridor where summer heat is relentless. A heat pump mini split cools through those brutal months and handles the mild Central Texas winters without a furnace. The room stays usable year round.
The Flat Price Covers the Whole Job
The price you see is the price you pay. For a single playroom addition, that is $2,000. If the addition is larger or has a bathroom attached, two zones run $3,700. Three zones for a larger buildout run $5,400. Four or more zones are quoted individually, but never with a standoff at the end.
These are new install prices only, never repairs or service calls. Licensed contractors perform the work. The honest exceptions are a very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting. We state them up front, never buried.
Belton Homeowners Deserve a Straight Answer
Most ductless contractors in Central Texas require an in-home visit before quoting. Custom quotes for ductless installs commonly run $3,000 to $6,000 per zone. That is the market Old West Minisplits works against, not the number we charge you.
Belton is a smaller Central Texas town, which means fewer local options and longer waits for some trades. Old West Minisplits serves the I-35 north corridor including Belton, Temple, Harker Heights, and nearby towns. You get a flat price before anyone steps foot on the property.

Straight answers
Is the $2,000 flat price real for a Belton playroom addition?
Yes. One zone is $2,000 flat for a new install. That includes equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a Home Depot run for touch-up paint. No trip fees or upcharges.
Does this price apply to replacing an old unit or repairing one?
No. These flat prices are for new installs only, never repairs or service calls. If the playroom addition needs a brand new system, the flat price applies. If you are fixing an existing unit, this is not the price for that work.
What if my playroom addition needs a panel upgrade?
A panel upgrade the house already needed is one of the honest exceptions. That work is arranged separately with a licensed electrician. We tell you up front if it applies, never after the fact.
Can I get a quote for four or more zones in a larger addition?
Four or more zones are quoted individually. Submit the quote form at /#quote and we will give you a straight number for the full scope. No in-home visit required first.
