The Flat Number for Your Bid
You get one number: $2,400 for a standard single zone mini split install on a weekday. That covers materials and labor. No waiting for a quote. You can plug this line item into your estimate today.
The price stays the same across projects as long as the scope is standard. If the site walk reveals non standard work, we quote that before we start. No surprises at invoicing.
How Scheduling Works
You pick the install date. We confirm it. If anything changes on our side, you get told. No guesswork.
We run one joker day each week at a lower price. The day changes week to week. Check the home page to see which day is joker day.
What Triggers Extra Cost
The $2,400 covers a standard single zone install. Non standard work gets a separate quote before we start. Examples include a roof penetration, a line set run longer than typical, or a circuit that needs upgrading.
We confirm specifics at the site walk. You get the quote before we order materials.
- Roof penetration for line set
- Line set run longer than typical
- Circuit upgrade or new circuit
- Custom drain routing
- Wall or ceiling concealment
- Equipment size beyond standard
Repeating for Multiple ADUs
If you have multiple ADUs on the same or different sites, call us to set up repeat scheduling. We handle each unit as a separate install at the same flat price per unit.
One phone call, one line item per unit. Your bid stays consistent.
Site Walk and Prep
Before install day, we do a site walk to confirm line set length, circuit size, drain routing, and equipment size. This is a rule of thumb: a small casita can load bigger than it looks if it has west facing glass and a hot attic.
We confirm the prep checklist with you. The crew arrives when the drywall crew leaves. You make sure the wall is open, the disconnect is mounted, and the circuit is run to the disconnect.
Included in the number
- Wall mount bracket for indoor unit
- Line set connection and insulation
- Drain line routing to nearest drain
- Power disconnect installation (customer supplies disconnect)
- Refrigerant line charge and leak test
- System startup and operation check
