Flat-rate mini splits for Austin flips in one day.

Updated September 2026

A flip on a 30-day clock needs HVAC that won’t drag out. Flat-rate mini split installs at $1,500 per zone keep the schedule tight and the budget locked, with same-day completion and no surprise quotes.

Flat pricing, same everywhere we work

Every install is wired to code by our TDLR-licensed contractor. Long line-set runs, panel upgrades or unusual mounting can add cost, and we tell you up front, before any work starts. For market context, see our Austin mini split cost guide: typical Central Texas quotes run $3,000 to $5,000 for a single zone.

Why flat pricing fits flip timelines.

Property flips in Austin and Central Texas often hit delays when HVAC contractors require in-home visits for custom quotes. A flat-rate install removes that step. One split costs $1,500, two splits $2,500, and three splits $3,500, all-in with materials, labor, and a Home Depot run for touch-up paint if the drywall needs it. No add-ons after the fact unless the line set runs longer than 50 feet or the panel needs an upgrade the house already required.

Most flips in Round Rock, Cedar Park, or Pflugerville use 1-3 zones to cover open floor plans. The flat pricing applies only to new installs, not repairs or service calls, so the scope stays clear from the start. If the crew finds an honest exception, like a second-story mount that needs extra bracketing, they state it before work begins, not after.

What to expect on install day.

A typical flip install starts at 8 a.m. with a TDLR-licensed contractor and a two-person crew. They run the line set through a 3-inch hole in the wall, mount the indoor and outdoor units, and handle the standard electrical hookup. By late afternoon, the system is tested, the thermostat is set, and the crew cleans up the work area. No callbacks, no punch-list items left for later.

The flat price covers everything except pre-existing electrical issues or structural work. If the flip needs insulation added or old ductwork removed, that’s separate. The mini splits themselves are heat pumps, so they cool through Austin summers and heat through mild winters without a furnace. The crew leaves the property with a working system and a warranty that stays with the flip, not the installer.

Questions

What happens if the flip needs more than three zones?

The flat pricing only covers up to three zones. If the flip requires four or more, the crew provides a custom quote before work starts, based on the same materials and labor rates.

Can the crew start the same day as the call?

Most flips book 2-3 days out, but same-day starts are possible if the schedule allows. The crew confirms availability when the flip calls to lock in the flat price.

Does the flat price include a permit?

No. Permits are the flip’s responsibility, but the crew can provide the required TDLR license number for the application. The flip should verify current permit rules with the local jurisdiction.
