Lake Travis boathouse cooling

If your Lake Travis boathouse feels more like a steam room than a retreat, you already know why. Humidity off the water plus full-sun exposure on the deck and dock make the heat settle in long after the breeze dies.

Standard day
$2,400

For this room

Lake Travis boathouse cooling

Most boathouses and lake structures were never built with central air in mind, so the typical solution is a window unit that barely keeps up. A ductless mini split changes that by delivering cool, dry air exactly where you need it, without ductwork or major construction.

Lake days here usually mean swimming, tubing, or just drifting. When you come back to the boathouse to rinse off gear or sit down with a drink, the last thing you want is that sticky, wet heat clinging to the walls. A dedicated mini split turns the space into a spot you actually want to hang out in.

Our flat rate of $2,400 covers materials and labor for a standard installation. You put down a $400 materials deposit to hold your date, and the rest is due when the work is done. One day each week is our Joker Day, priced below the standard rate. The exact Joker price changes week to week, so check the homepage to see which day and how much.

Common questions

What people ask us about this

Can you tell me exactly what size mini split my boathouse needs before a site visit?

We can give you a rough rule of thumb based on square footage and sun exposure. But we don't promise a specific BTU number until we walk the space and check ceiling height, window load, and how close the water is. The onsite visit makes sure the unit is sized right for your boathouse, not guessed.

How does the Joker Day pricing work?

One day each week is set aside as Joker Day, with a lower price than our standard $2,400 flat rate. The day moves around from week to week, and the exact Joker price is shown on our homepage. It is not a discount code or a coupon. It is just a lower flat price for that day.

What if my boathouse doesn't have enough wall space for an indoor unit?

Mini split indoor units are narrow and mount high on the wall, so they fit in tight spaces where a window unit or a floor AC would block the view. We can also talk about a ceiling cassette style if the walls are mostly glass, but we work that out during the in person visit.

Do I need to pay for everything upfront?

No. The standard process is a $400 materials deposit to reserve your installation day. The remaining balance is due when the crew finishes the job and the system is running. That applies to both standard rate and Joker Day bookings.

Is your crew licensed? How do I know the work will be solid?

Yes, our crew is licensed. We install ductless mini splits full time for homes and lake structures around Austin and the I 35 corridor. The flat rate covers both the materials and the labor, so there are no surprise add ons after the job starts.
