The Price for Your Wine Room Cooling Is Posted Up Front
Updated September 2026
A home wine room demands steady temperature between 55 and 60 degrees. A window unit or a central HVAC system cannot hold that range without cycling on and off, which risks spoiling your collection. You need a dedicated cooling source that runs continuously and precisely.
A ductless mini split heat pump is the right tool for the job. Old West Minisplits installs one at a flat price posted on this page. No haggling, no in-home estimate, no surprise charges. The price you see is the price you pay.
Why a Mini Split Belongs in Your Wine Room
Wine storage requires stable humidity and a narrow temperature band. A mini split delivers both because it uses inverter technology to ramp up and down instead of stopping and starting. That keeps the air inside your wine room steady, not swinging five degrees every time the compressor kicks on.
The same unit is a heat pump. It cools through brutal Central Texas summers and handles mild winters without a furnace. If your wine room is in a conditioned part of the house, the mini split still works as a dedicated zone, separate from the rest of the home's system.
What the Flat Price Includes and What It Does Not
The flat price covers equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a Home Depot run for touch-up paint. There are no trip fees or upcharges for the installation itself. These prices are for new installs only. If you need a repair or a service call, this page does not apply.
Honest exceptions are stated up front. A very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting may add cost. Those situations are rare. We tell you about them before work begins, never after.
How the Installation Works for Your Space
The indoor unit mounts on a wall or ceiling inside the wine room. The line set runs to an outdoor unit placed on a concrete pad or wall bracket. The work is done by licensed contractors. If your home needs an electrical panel upgrade, that is work for a licensed electrician, not Old West Minisplits.
The system is ductless, so no cutting into walls or running sheet metal. The temperature is controlled by a remote or a wall thermostat. For a single wine room, one zone at $2,000 is the typical choice. Two zones or three zones might serve a larger cellar or a combined tasting room.

Straight answers
Can a mini split keep my wine room at exactly 55 degrees?
Yes. The inverter compressor adjusts its speed to hold a precise set point. Many wine collectors use mini splits for that reason.
Is the $2,000 flat price for a wine room installation?
Yes, if the wine room needs one indoor unit. That price is for a new install only, not for repairs or service calls. Two zones would be $3,700, three zones $5,400.
Do I need a separate outdoor unit just for the wine room?
For a single zone, one outdoor unit serves one indoor unit. For multiple zones, one outdoor unit can serve up to three indoor units, depending on the system.
What if my wine room is far from where the outdoor unit goes?
A standard line set length is included in the flat price. If the run is unusually long, we tell you before installation and quote the difference. That is a rare exception, not a hidden fee.
