Mini Split Installation for Austin Property Owners, Flat Price from $2,000
Updated September 2026
If you own more than one rental property around the University of Texas, or across Austin more broadly, getting a straight HVAC number is usually the hard part. A custom-quote contractor wants to visit every property separately, measure, and come back with a number that can vary wildly from one job to the next depending on who shows up that day. When you are budgeting across several units, that kind of inconsistency makes planning nearly impossible.
Old West Minisplits' flat pricing solves that directly: $2,000 for one zone, $3,700 for two zones, $5,400 for three zones, the same number for every property in a portfolio. That price covers equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, and cleanup, and you can get it for each property through the form on our homepage without scheduling a home visit for every single unit. There is no phone number listed, so there is no call to coordinate either.
What the Flat Price Covers (and What It Doesn't)
The $2,000 per zone price is all-in for a standard installation, and it is the same price whether you own one rental or a dozen. It includes the mini split heat pump unit, indoor air handler, line set, wiring, breaker, refrigerant, a condensate pump if needed, testing, and cleanup. We also touch up paint where the line set runs so the unit does not look like an afterthought at the next showing or lease renewal. No trip fees, no hidden charges, and no sales visit required just to get a number.
Three honest exceptions apply, and we flag them before you commit, never after the crew is on site. A very long line set, over 50 feet, adds a materials charge. A panel upgrade the property already needed is not included. Unusually difficult mounting, such as brick or stone exteriors that need special anchors, may add a small fee. We do not offer repair or warranty service on existing systems, but if a unit is failing or was installed poorly by someone else, a flat-price new install is often the cheaper long-term call than another service ticket.
Typical Property Owner Jobs: Portfolio Planning and Turnover Scheduling
Owners with several rental properties near campus often plan mini split upgrades around lease turnover dates, replacing aging window units or failing central systems property by property as budget allows, rather than all at once. Because our price per zone is fixed regardless of the property, you can plan that rollout with real numbers instead of waiting on a fresh quote for each address.
For owners managing multiple older properties, whether duplexes, converted houses, or garage apartments, the recurring pattern is the same: older housing stock without central ducts, tenants complaining about window units, and a decision about whether to keep patching or actually upgrade. A flat, predictable price per zone makes that decision easier to plan across an entire portfolio rather than one property at a time.
Why Flat Pricing Works Better for Owners
A custom quote means scheduling a salesperson around a tenant's calendar, waiting on a bid, and hoping the number that comes back fits what you budgeted for the unit. Old West Minisplits skips the walkthrough. The price is posted, so you can pencil it into a renovation budget or a turnover schedule before you talk to anyone, and you never have to call anyone, because we do not publish a phone number. The quote form on our homepage is the only step between you and a scheduled install.
The price per zone holds whether the property sits blocks from campus or anywhere else along the I-35 corridor from Waco to San Antonio. One zone is $2,000, two zones is $3,700, three zones is $5,400, the same number for every unit in a portfolio, which makes budgeting across several properties simple.

Straight answers
How much does a mini split cost per unit?
Our flat installed price is $2,000 for one zone, $3,700 for two zones, and $5,400 for three zones, the same price whether it is your only property or one of several. That covers a standard installation from start to finish, no per-project sales visit required to get the number.
Do you require a home visit to give me a quote?
No. Fill out the form on our homepage with the property details and zone count, and we send back the price. That makes it easy to budget across a rental, a turnover schedule, or a small portfolio without coordinating a visit for every property.
How do I get in touch or schedule a job?
Through the quote form on our homepage. We do not list a phone number for the business, so there is no call to make, just the form and a confirmation once details are set.
What is not included in the flat price?
Three things: a very long line set over 50 feet, a panel upgrade the property already needed regardless of the mini split, and unusually difficult mounting like brick or stone that needs special anchors. We flag any of these before you agree, never after the job starts.
Do you offer any pricing difference for installing at multiple properties?
Our price is already flat and the same per zone regardless of how many properties you own or how many units you install across your portfolio: $2,000 for one zone, $3,700 for two, $5,400 for three, at every address.
Can I request quotes for several properties at once through the form?
Yes. Submit the form for each property with its zone count and address, and we will get back to you with pricing and scheduling for each one.
