A Texas sunroom with glass on three sides is built for light, and that same glass soaks up heat all day until the afternoon is the worst part of the house. If the room was added on later, it often never got tied into the central system, so the space you love in spring sits empty by June. A dedicated ductless mini split keeps that room useful through the hottest months too, instead of a door you close and walk away from.
$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.
Glass on three sides is the whole point of a sunroom, and it is also why the room absorbs heat from morning until late afternoon. In Austin and along the I-35 corridor, that afternoon load hits the sunroom first and hardest, while ordinary rooms with real walls stay easier to live in. Closing the door does not fix a glass box that has been collecting sun all day.
Many sunrooms were added after the original house, so the central ducts never reached that far. You get a room that is attached to the house but thermally on its own, which is why a fan or a window unit never quite keeps up. A ductless mini split puts cooling right in that space, materials and labor together, without running new ductwork through finished walls.
The crew is licensed and installs the indoor and outdoor units as one complete system at a flat rate of $2,400. Sizing starts as a rule of thumb based on the glass, the orientation, and how you use the room, then gets confirmed on an on-site visit rather than promised from a phone call. Once it is in, the sunroom can stay a real living space in July instead of a room you pass through and leave.
Glass on three sides lets in light and also holds heat all day, so the afternoon peak is worse there than in rooms with ordinary walls. If the sunroom was added on, it may never have been tied into the central system at all. A dedicated mini split treats that room as its own zone instead of hoping leftover cool air will drift in.
A sunroom still needs a system matched to the real load, not a catalog guess. We look at the glass, the exposure, and how you use the space, then confirm everything on a site visit. The indoor unit sits on a wall and the outdoor unit sits outside, so you are not relying on a window unit that fights the same glass all afternoon.
Any BTU figure given over the phone would be a guess, and we do not do that. We treat sizing as a rule of thumb that has to be confirmed in person, looking at the glass, the sun path, and the rest of the house. That visit is how we keep the system matched to your sunroom instead of to a generic room size.
Standard installation is $2,400 for materials and labor together, a flat rate. One day each week is Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate, and that day and the exact price are on the homepage because they move week to week. Booking takes a $400 materials deposit to hold the day, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished.
That is the point of a dedicated system for a room that was never really on the central system. The space people want most in spring often becomes unusable by June because the glass has been collecting heat all day. With its own mini split, the sunroom can stay a place you sit in through the hottest months instead of a space you close off.
