Make Your Austin Sunroom Usable All Summer With a Flat Price Ductless System
Updated September 2026
A sunroom in an Austin summer can turn from a bright retreat into an unusable hot box by mid morning. Glass walls, low insulation, and no ductwork mean your central air conditioner rarely reaches the room, and the heat keeps building through the afternoon.
A ductless mini split solves that problem without tearing into walls or adding ductwork. Mini Split Reef installs mini splits for a flat rate of $2,000 per unit, however many units you need. That price includes equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a Home Depot run for touch up paint. No trip fees, no surprise add-ons.
Why a Sunroom Needs Its Own Cooling Solution
Sunrooms are usually cut off from the main HVAC system, and even when they have a supply vent, the glass load overwhelms the airflow. A ductless mini split gives the room its own dedicated heat pump. It cools through brutal Central Texas summers and handles mild winters without a furnace, so the room becomes usable year round.
Because the system is ductless, installation is direct. One outdoor unit connects to a wall mounted indoor unit through a small line set. Mini Split Reef includes the standard line set, electrical, refrigerant, testing, and cleanup in the flat rate. The only honest exceptions are stated up front, never after: a very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting.
What the $2,000 Flat Rate Actually Covers
The posted rate is $2,000 per mini split installed, however many units. That means a single sunroom is $2,000, and a property with multiple sunrooms or zones pays $2,000 per installed unit. Equipment, labor, line set, standard electrical, refrigerant, testing, cleanup, and a Home Depot run for touch up paint are all included.
Property managers, landlords, and multi unit owners get a volume discount off the $2,000 per unit rate. The service area is Austin and the I-35 corridor, north to Waco and Killeen, south to San Antonio. The same flat rate applies corridor wide. If your job needs a very long line set, a panel upgrade the house already needed, or unusually difficult mounting, we tell you before work begins, not after.
Ductless Pricing in Central Texas and Why Flat Rate Matters
Most local HVAC contractors are quote based and require an in home sales visit before giving a number. Ductless installs in Central Texas commonly run $3,000 to $6,000 per zone on a custom quote. That range can make a single sunroom project hard to budget, especially when the quote changes after the visit.
Mini Split Reef posts the flat rate so you know the price before you call. There is no in home sales pitch and no trip fee. You get a heat pump sized for the room, installed at a flat $2,000 per unit, with the included basics clearly listed. That is the whole pricing model.
