Timothy P Hanus vs Mini Split Reef
Updated September 2026
Homeowners in Buda comparing mini split installers often have Timothy P Hanus on their list, and for good reason: they hold a current Texas air conditioning contractor license. This page explains the one place our approach clearly differs, which is how the price is set.

The Mini Split Reef model
Our model is simple arithmetic. One zone installed is $2,000 flat, materials and labor. Two zones, $4,000. Three zones, $6,000. There is no in home sales visit to sit through and no quote that arrives three days later. The number you see here is the number on the invoice.
How the local market usually prices
It is worth knowing the going range before you book estimates. Ductless installs in Central Texas commonly run $3,000 to $6,000 per zone on a custom quote. Nothing on this page claims what any specific company would bid your job; the honest answer is that under the custom model, nobody knows until the visit happens.

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.
