Included versus quoted

The published rate is a standard single zone mini split installation. Materials and labor sit in that number. Anything else is outside it.

Line set routing, circuit size, drain routing, penetration location and equipment size are confirmed at the site walk. Non standard work is quoted before any work begins.

Walkthrough in front of your client

The indoor unit sits level on the wall. The outdoor unit is in place. Penetrations are sealed. The floor is swept.

Sizing is a rule of thumb confirmed on site. A casita reads smaller than it loads. West glass and a hot attic push the size up.

Repeat scheduling across jobs

Call (512) 297-7493 to set up repeat scheduling. Use that number each time a job needs a mini split.

Paste the same line item into the next estimate. Standard single zone stays $2,400 on weekdays and $2,600 on weekends.
