Updated September 2026

The Mini Split Reef model
Here is our entire price list: one zone $2,000 installed, two zones $4,000, three zones $6,000. Materials and labor are in the number. We would rather win the jobs where a posted price makes sense than negotiate every single install from scratch.
How the local market usually prices
Ductless installs in Central Texas commonly run $3,000 to $6,000 per zone on a custom quote. That is not a knock on any contractor; the custom quote model prices each job individually, usually after an in home visit, and the final number depends on what the estimator sees and how the visit goes.
Mini splits in Cedar Park
Cedar Park garages, workshops, and bonus rooms make up a lot of our work in the area. Each of those is a one zone job at the posted $2,000 rate, and multi zone pricing stays linear: $4,000 for two, $6,000 for three.
Two pricing models
| Factor | Mini Split Reef | The common local pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $2,000 per zone installed, materials and labor. Two zones $4,000, three zones $6,000 | $3,000 to $6,000 per zone, set by custom quote |
| How you learn the price | Posted publicly before any contact | Usually after an in home estimate visit |
| Extras | Exceptions named up front: very long line set, panel upgrade the house already needed, difficult mounting | Itemized in the individual quote |
| Licensing | Installs performed by licensed contractors | Licensed contractors, verifiable on the TDLR roster |

Straight answers
What if my job genuinely is not a standard install?
Then we say so before any work starts. A very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting are the named exceptions, and you approve any adjustment first.
How do I verify any contractor's license?
Search the license number on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation public license roster at tdlr.texas.gov. Every legitimate A/C contractor in Texas appears there. The license number on this page comes from that public roster.
Why do most companies quote in the home?
Custom quoting lets an estimator price each job on its specifics, and it is also a sales opportunity. It is the industry norm and it works for many buyers. We simply chose the other model: publish one price and keep it.
