If you are turning an East Austin bungalow garage into an office, studio, or extra bedroom, that room was never part of the original heating and cooling plan. Older bungalows were built for cars in the garage, not for someone to live or work there year round. A ductless mini split can condition the converted space without tying it to the rest of the house.

Many East Austin bungalows are older homes not originally built with a converted garage room in mind. The garage sat outside the house system from the start, so adding living square footage leaves you with a room that has no ducts and no planned way to stay comfortable. Converting that square footage is a common Austin renovation project right now.
A detached garage in particular usually has zero connection to the house existing system. Even an attached garage on these bungalows rarely has any ductwork running into it because the builders never treated it as living space. A ductless system fits a garage conversion in an older home especially well because the indoor unit goes in the new room and the outdoor unit sits just outside.

Yes. A detached garage usually has zero connection to the existing system, which is why a ductless unit suits it. The indoor head goes in the converted office, studio, or bedroom and the outdoor unit sits nearby. We look at the actual layout on site before we set anything.
Any size talk starts as a rule of thumb for the converted garage. An on-site visit confirms what the room needs based on insulation, windows, sun, and how the bungalow garage was built. We never promise a specific capacity before that visit.
The standard installation is $2,400 for materials and labor together as a flat rate. One day every week is Joker Day at a lower price, and that price is shown on the homepage because the day moves week to week. A $400 materials deposit holds the day and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished.
The same ductless approach works. An attached garage on an East Austin bungalow was still not planned as conditioned living space, so it rarely has ducts. The mini split conditions just that converted room without forcing new runs through the old house.
No. That is a main reason a ductless system fits these conversions so well. The indoor unit lives in the garage itself, so the rest of the bungalow stays closed up. We confirm the line-set path during the on-site visit.
