Where the mini split fits in your sequence
Rough electrical runs the circuit and disconnect. Insulation goes in. Then we install. Drywall, paint, flooring, trim, and walkthrough follow. That order works.
If you install too early, the unit collects dust and gets bumped. If you install too late, the walkthrough has no cooling and photos show a bare wall. The slot is after insulation, before drywall.
- Preceding trades leave the wall open and the circuit roughed in.
- We confirm the exact install date when you call.
- If something changes, you get told. No surprises.
- One line item. One phone call. Repeats across projects.
What the bid includes and what it does not
The $2,400 weekday number covers a standard single zone install. That means one indoor unit, one outdoor unit, the line set, the drain line, and a disconnect. All materials and labor. No add ons.
Non standard work gets quoted before we start. Examples: a long line set that exceeds the standard run, a difficult penetration, or a custom drain route. We tell you the cost before we pull a tool.
- Standard: indoor unit, outdoor unit, line set, drain, disconnect.
- Non standard quoted at the site walk or before work begins.
- Deposit is $400 to hold your date. Balance on completion.
- Weekend installs are $2,600.
Prep checklist for the crew
Before we arrive, the rough electrical needs to be done. The circuit and disconnect must be in place. The wall where the indoor unit mounts should be open. Insulation should be complete.
The outdoor unit location needs to be accessible. No debris, no stored material. That is it. We handle the rest.
- Rough electrical: circuit and disconnect installed.
- Wall open at the indoor unit location.
- Insulation complete.
- Outdoor location clear and accessible.
- No drywall, paint, or trim yet.
Install day sequence
We arrive on the confirmed date. We mount the indoor unit, run the line set and drain, mount the outdoor unit, and connect the electrical. We test the system. Then we leave.
You do not need to be on site. We work around your schedule. If anything changes, we call.
Repeat work across your projects
One phone call sets the pattern. Call (512) 297-7493. We learn your sequence. We show up on the day the drywall crew leaves. Same number, same process, same result.

Phases run in this order on a standard job. Site conditions change the pace, so nothing here is a timeline commitment. If something on site is different from the walk, you get told before it turns into cost.
$400 materials deposit books the date and buys the equipment for your job. Balance due on completion, on the visit the system runs.
$2,400 weekday. $2,600 Saturday or Sunday. One Joker day each week is priced under the weekday rate. The day moves week to week and it is shown on the home page, so if your schedule has slack you can aim at it.
Non standard work is quoted before any work begins. Nothing gets added to the number without you approving it first.
