If you're planning to host Thanksgiving in your garage this year, you already know the biggest challenge: keeping that overflow space comfortable when a folding table full of food and a houseful of relatives start cranking up the heat. Central Texas weather in late November can still surprise you with a warm day, and without a mini split, your garage can quickly feel more like a sauna than a dining room.
$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 garage full of extra guests and a buffet table adds real heat to the room. Even if the outdoor temperature is mild, body heat from a dozen people plus the oven in the kitchen pushing warmth through the house can turn your garage into an uncomfortable spot. That's why a ductless mini split is a smart solution: it cools the space directly, without ductwork or window units, so your overflow seating actually feels like part of the party.
Overflow seating only works if people actually want to sit there. If the garage is too warm or stuffy, guests will end up standing in the kitchen or crowding the living room, which defeats the purpose of extra space. A mini split keeps the temperature steady, so your relatives can enjoy their meal, hang out, and even linger for dessert without feeling rushed out by the heat.
A comfortable garage means more usable space for a big gathering, not just extra chairs. With a mini split installed, that garage becomes a real second living area for holidays, game days, or year round hangouts. Our flat rate of $2,400 covers materials and labor together, and we only need a $400 materials deposit to hold your installation day. The remaining balance is due when the work is finished, so you're not paying for cooling you haven't used yet.
We use a rule of thumb based on the square footage and layout of your garage, but the exact sizing gets confirmed during a free on site visit. That visit lets us check for things like ceiling height, insulation, and how much sun the space gets, so we don't promise a specific BTU number until we've seen the room in person.
We can usually install within a few days of booking, depending on our schedule. You'll pay a $400 materials deposit to hold your day, and the standard flat rate is $2,400 for materials and labor. One day each week is our Joker Day at a lower price, but the exact day and amount change week to week, so check the homepage for this week's deal.
Mini splits are designed to be low profile and mount high on the wall, so they don't eat into your floor space or block your garage door. The outdoor unit sits on a small pad outside, and the indoor unit is about the size of a suitcase, mounted near the ceiling. It blends in much better than a window unit or a portable AC.
Yes. The indoor unit is mounted high on the wall, usually above where a car's hood would be, and the outdoor unit sits outside. You'll still have full use of the garage for parking, storage, or whatever you need. Just make sure the area around the indoor unit has a few feet of clearance for airflow.
That's fine. A mini split works as a standalone system, so you can run it only when you need it. It also provides heat if you ever want to use the garage in cooler months. The system is installed permanently, but you control it with a remote or wall thermostat, so you only pay for the electricity you use.
