If you are building a new home in Austin, you already know that the standard builder grade system is sized for the whole house on average, not for how a bonus room, media room, or flex space actually gets used. Adding a ductless mini split now means that room will be comfortable from the first day you move in, without needing a costly renovation later.
$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 bonus room or converted flex space is often the weak link in a new build's comfort. The central system moves air to the whole house, but that one room can end up several degrees warmer or cooler than the rest of the home, especially if it has extra windows, a high ceiling, or is over a garage. A dedicated mini split gives you independent temperature control for that space, so it is not an afterthought.
New construction is also the easiest time to plan for an added system. We can work with your builder to run the electrical and line set before the drywall goes up, which keeps the installation clean and avoids cutting into finished walls later. Doing it early means you skip the hassle of a retrofit and the cost of patching and painting.
Our pricing is a flat rate of $2,400 for materials and labor together, and one day each week is the Joker Day priced lower than the standard rate. Booking requires a $400 materials deposit to hold the day, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished. The Joker Day moves week to week, and the exact price is shown on our homepage.
We use a rule of thumb based on the room's square footage, ceiling height, window area, and sun exposure, but the final sizing is confirmed during a free on-site visit. We never promise a specific BTU number before seeing the space in person, because every room is different.
Yes. New construction is actually the best time to install a mini split, because we can run the electrical and refrigerant lines before the walls are closed up. This keeps the installation clean and avoids cutting into finished drywall later.
It should not, as long as the mini split is a separate system for a specific room. We recommend coordinating with your builder early so the electrical and line set can be roughed in without interfering with the central system. We are licensed and will handle all the installation details.
You can add a mini split to any room after the house is finished, but it will involve cutting into finished walls and ceilings to run the lines. Planning ahead during new construction saves that mess and expense.
Our standard price is a flat $2,400 for materials and labor. One day each week is the Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate, and the exact price for that day is revealed on our homepage. To book, you pay a $400 materials deposit, and the remaining balance is due when the work is completed.
