The Mini Split Reef model
We publish the whole price: $2,000 per zone, installed, with equipment and labor included. A two zone system is $4,000 and a three zone system is $6,000. Posting the price means we cannot size the quote to the neighborhood, the car in the driveway, or how urgent you sound on the phone.
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 Georgetown
Georgetown's mix of historic homes near the square and new builds out toward Sun City means duct retrofits are often impractical or ugly. A ductless head avoids opening finished ceilings, and the price with us is posted: $2,000 per zone.
Two pricing models
| Factor | Mini Split Reef | The usual quote model |
|---|---|---|
| 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
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.
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.
