The Mini Split Reef model
Mini Split Reef charges a flat $2,000 per zone installed, materials and labor together. Two zones run $4,000, three run $6,000. Because the rate is published, every customer on the corridor pays the same price for the same scope, which is the fairest arrangement we know of.
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 Leander
Leander homeowners are often quoting garage gyms, casitas, and new home offices. All of those are textbook mini split territory, and each zone is the same flat $2,000 with us whether it is the first zone or the third.

Straight answers
Do you badmouth other contractors to win jobs?
No. Licensed competitors are legitimate businesses and many do excellent work. This page compares pricing models only, and the only facts stated about the other company come from the public state license roster and, where shown, their own website.
Is the $2,000 per zone price really all in?
Yes. Equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, and cleanup are included. The only exceptions, named before work starts, are a very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting.
Do you charge more for two or three zones?
The rate is linear. One zone is $2,000, two zones are $4,000, three zones are $6,000. Multi zone equipment differences are absorbed into the flat rate.
