ADU owners in Austin

Austin has seen a real rise in ADU construction for rental income and extended family. Since your ADU is its own structure, it needs its own comfort plan, not a hope that the main house's system reaches it. Independent zoning means the ADU and main house can run at different temperatures without conflict, which is standard practice for a detached or semi detached ADU.

We install ductless mini splits at a flat rate of $2,400 for materials and labor together. One day each week is the Joker Day at a lower price, and the exact price is revealed on our homepage. Booking requires a $400 materials deposit to hold the day, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished. Our crew is licensed and handles the whole job.

Sizing your mini split starts with a rule of thumb based on your ADU's square footage and layout. We never promise a specific BTU number over the phone; that gets confirmed during an on site visit. This way you get a system that keeps your ADU comfortable whether it's a rental, guest space, or home office.

Common questions

What people ask us about this

Does my ADU really need its own AC system?

Yes. An ADU is a separate structure from the main house, so the main house's system cannot effectively cool it. A dedicated ductless mini split is the standard practice for independent and reliable cooling.

How do you determine the right size mini split for my ADU?

We use a rule of thumb based on your ADU's square footage and layout, but the exact sizing is confirmed during an on site visit. We do not promise a specific BTU number before that visit.

What is your pricing and how does the deposit work?

Our standard flat rate is $2,400 for materials and labor together. One day each week is the Joker Day at a lower price, and you can see that exact price on our homepage. To book, we ask for a $400 materials deposit to hold the day, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished.

Can I set my ADU to a different temperature than my main house?

Yes. A ductless mini split in your ADU operates independently with its own thermostat. This means you can keep your ADU comfortable for guests or renters while the main house runs at a different temperature.

How long does installation take for an ADU?

A standard installation typically takes one day. We will discuss the exact timeline during the on site visit, which also confirms the system size and placement.
