Fixed-Price HVAC for Your Addition or Conversion
Planning a garage conversion or a room addition means tracking every line item before the framing starts. Central Texas remodelers often get stalled by HVAC contractors who refuse to quote a price until drywall is already up. That uncertainty wrecks construction budgets and delays timelines.
Old West Minisplits eliminates the guesswork with posted flat prices. You can budget heating and cooling into your build on day one: 1 zone for $2,000, 2 zones for $3,700, and 3 zones for $5,400. Fill out the form at /#quote to lock in your numbers.
Why Mini Splits Outperform Central Duct Extensions
Tapping into an existing central air handler often strains the main system past its capacity. An undersized system fails during peak July heat in Central Texas, leaving both the new space and the original house uncomfortable. Adding duct runs through attic spaces also increases thermal loss and raises overall energy demands.
Dedicated ductless mini splits operate independently from the main house. These heat pumps provide targeted cooling in triple-digit heat and solid heating during winter cold snaps without needing a gas furnace. Because the unit serves only the new square footage, your main system keeps running undisturbed.
What Is Included in Your Remodel Budget
Every flat-rate installation covers the heat pump hardware, indoor heads, line sets, refrigerant, standard electrical connections, testing, and full cleanup. Our licensed contractors even pick up touch-up paint at Home Depot to finish the job cleanly. There are no trip fees or hidden labor charges added at the end.
We keep our terms transparent so your project numbers stay solid. The only rare exceptions are unusually difficult mounting, exceptionally long line sets, or a panel upgrade that your house already required from a licensed electrician. These flat prices apply strictly to brand-new installations, not existing unit repairs or service calls.
Coordinating Install Day with Your Build Schedule
Mini split installation fits cleanly between rough-in and final finish work. You arrange framing, drywall, and insulation with your own general contractor or trades. When the walls are closed and ready, our licensed crew comes in to mount the equipment and balance the system.
That clean separation keeps your timeline moving without trade overlap. Instead of waiting weeks for custom quotes that commonly run between $3,000 and $6,000 per zone from other contractors, you have fixed numbers ready before construction begins.
