If your converted garage bedroom feels like an oven in July and a refrigerator in January, you already know the problem: it was never built to be a living space. The walls are thin, the slab floor pulls the cold up from the ground, and running ductwork from the main air handler is usually a non-starter.
$400 materials deposit books your day. The balance is due when the work is finished and you're happy with it. Anything outside a standard install is quoted before work begins, never discovered after.
A ductless mini split is the cleanest fix for a room that the original HVAC system was never meant to reach. We install a dedicated head unit on the wall, run a small line set to an outdoor compressor, and give that bedroom its own thermostat. No ductwork, no tearing up the ceiling, no fighting with the rest of the house's temperature.
The concrete slab is the main reason this room feels different from every other bedroom. It holds and radiates heat differently, and a standard window unit or portable AC can't keep up with that. A properly sized mini split handles the slab's thermal mass and the thin walls together, keeping the room comfortable whether you are sleeping in it or using it as a home office.
Converted garage bedrooms are one of the most common calls we get in Austin. The standard flat rate is $2,400 for materials and labor, and one day each week is the Joker Day at a lower price. A $400 deposit holds your spot, and the rest is due when the work is finished.
We use a rule of thumb based on square footage and ceiling height, but we confirm the sizing during a free on-site visit. Every garage conversion is different, so we never promise a specific BTU number until we see the insulation, windows, and slab condition in person.
Yes. The line set that connects the indoor head to the outdoor compressor runs through a small hole in the wall, not through the floor. The concrete slab stays untouched.
That is common. We route the line set along the exterior wall and cover it with a slim white line hide channel. It looks clean and keeps the installation simple without needing attic space.
The standard price is $2,400 for everything, materials and labor. One day each week is the Joker Day at a lower price, and that day moves week to week. You can see the exact Joker price on the homepage. A $400 deposit holds the day, and the balance is due when the job is done.
If your conversion still has an old garage door or a poorly insulated wall where the door used to be, we can work with that. The mini split is sized to match the actual heat load of the room, so it accounts for any weak spots in the envelope.
