Texas summer survival

A Central Texas summer runs from May well into September, and the room that feels 'off' in spring becomes genuinely unusable by July. Planning ahead now means you beat the worst months, not troubleshoot through them.

For this room

Texas summer survival

The problem is often one stubborn room: the back bedroom that bakes in afternoon sun, the home office that turns into a sauna by 2 p.m. A window unit can't keep up for five months straight, and running your main system at max just drives up the bill without fixing the imbalance. That room stops being a minor annoyance and becomes a daily problem, the kind you dread walking into.

A dedicated ductless mini split gives that single room its own climate control, separate from the rest of the house. You get it installed once, before the heat sets in, and then that room stays comfortable May through September without straining your main system. The flat rate of $2,400 covers both materials and labor, so you know the full cost upfront with no surprises.

One day each week is the Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate. That day moves week to week, and the exact price is listed on the homepage. Booking requires a $400 materials deposit to hold the day; the remaining balance is due when the work is finished. Your crew is licensed, and sizing is confirmed by an on-site visit before any equipment is ordered.

Common questions

What people ask us about this

How do I know what size mini split my room needs?

We use a rule of thumb based on your room's square footage and sun exposure, but the actual BTU size is confirmed during a free on-site visit. No one promises a specific number before they see your space and ductwork layout.

What happens if my room still feels hot after installation?

If the system is correctly sized and installed for your specific room, it will hold the temperature you set. The on-site visit and flat-rate pricing ensure we match the unit to your room, not guess from a phone call.

Can you install a mini split in a home with central AC already?

Yes, often that is exactly the situation. The mini split handles the worst room while your central system focuses on the rest of the house. They run independently, so you get comfort without overworking either system.

How do the deposit and flat rate work?

You pay a $400 materials deposit to book your installation day. The remaining balance is due when the work is finished, on the same day. The total is $2,400 materials and labor together, no extra charges. The Joker Day is one day each week at a lower price, but that specific amount changes week to week and is shown on the homepage.

When should I call to schedule for summer?

May through June is the busiest stretch. If you book before late spring, you avoid waiting for an opening in July or August. The Joker Day rotates weekly, so you can check the homepage for the current lower price and pick a day that works for you.
