Spring Is the Smarter Window. The Price Is Locked.
Central Texas summers do not negotiate. By July, wait times for ductless mini split installation stretch into weeks, and contractors charge a premium for emergency work. Spring is the season to act before the heat demands it.
Old West Minisplits posts the price up front. No standoffs. One zone, two zones, three zones. The number you see is the number you pay. No in-home visit, no haggling, no surprise markups. Spring installation means your system is ready when the temperature climbs.
Why Spring Installation Saves You More Than Money
Spring is the shoulder season for HVAC contractors. Their schedules are open, which means your install happens on your timeline, not theirs. You avoid the rush that drives up labor costs and pushes install dates into August.
A mini split is a heat pump. It cools through brutal Texas summers and handles mild winters without a furnace. Installing in spring lets you test the system through a few warm days before the real heat arrives. No surprises.
The Flat Price Includes Everything That Matters
Our price is not a bait number. It covers equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and even a Home Depot run for touch-up paint. No trip fees. No upcharges. The price for a new install is $2,000 for one zone, $3,700 for two zones, and $5,400 for three zones. Four or more zones are quoted individually. These prices are for new installations only, not repairs or service calls.
Honest exceptions exist and we state them up front: a very long line set, a panel upgrade your house already needs, or an unusually difficult mounting. Those are rare. You will know before you commit.
How the Market Compares. How We Are Different.
Ductless installs in Central Texas commonly run $3,000 to $6,000 per zone from other contractors, most of whom require an in-home visit before quoting. That visit is free, but the price changes after the visit. Old West Minisplits does not require a visit. The price is posted. The price is the price.
Licensed contractors perform our installations. The same crews that work on custom quotes. The difference is we do not waste your time with a sales pitch. Spring is a short window. Use it to lock in a flat rate and a quick install date.

Straight answers
Is the $2,000 price for one zone really the full price?
Yes. The flat price of $2,000 for one zone includes equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and even a Home Depot run for touch-up paint. No trip fees or upcharges. This is for new installs only, not repairs or service calls.
What if I need a panel upgrade or a very long line set?
Those are honest exceptions stated up front. If your house already needs a panel upgrade, a licensed electrician handles that separately. A very long line set or unusually difficult mounting may add cost. We tell you before any work begins.
How does installing in spring compare to waiting until summer?
Spring means shorter lead times and lower demand. By summer, installation windows shrink and many contractors charge a premium for emergency work. Installing now locks in the flat price and ensures your system is ready for the first heat wave.
