Flat Rate Mini Split Installation for Veterinary Clinics in Central Texas.

Updated September 2026

Veterinary clinics in Central Texas need climate control that keeps exam rooms, kennels, and staff areas comfortable without wasting energy on empty spaces. ATX Mini Split King offers flat rate ductless mini split installations for new builds and additions, starting at $1,500 for one zone.

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 Your Clinic Needs Zoned Comfort Without Ductwork.

A typical veterinary practice in Austin or Round Rock might have a reception area, two exam rooms, a treatment room, and a kennel. Running the central HVAC to cool or heat one occupied exam room wastes money and creates temperature swings in other areas. Ductless mini splits let you install a dedicated head in each zone, so you set the temperature independently for the kennel (cooler for anxious pets) and the exam room (warmer for surgery recovery). The outdoor condenser is compact, and the line set runs through a small wall opening, no ductwork required.

Our flat pricing covers materials, labor, and a Home Depot run for touch up paint if needed. A one zone install is $1,500, two zones $2,500, and three zones $3,500. These are all in prices for new installs only, not repairs or service calls. Most one to three zone jobs finish in a single day, and we test every system before the crew leaves. For a vet clinic addition or a remodeled exam room, this means minimal disruption to your practice.

What to Know About Installing Mini Splits in a Veterinary Setting.

Mini splits are heat pumps, so they both cool and heat. In Central Texas that means you get reliable air conditioning through brutal summers and gentle heat through mild winters without a separate furnace. The indoor units are wall mounted and can be placed high on a wall to keep them out of reach of curious pets. The line set is covered with a slim white conduit that matches most clinic interiors. If you need a longer line set than standard, we will tell you before work starts. The same applies if your clinic requires a panel upgrade that was already needed, or if the mounting surface is unusually difficult, we state those exceptions upfront.

Our installs are performed by TDLR licensed contractors. We do not offer ductwork demolition, insulation, solar, generators, or panel upgrades beyond the standard electrical hookup included with the install. If your clinic has old ductwork that needs to be removed or sealed, that is a separate scope you should discuss with a general contractor. We focus on the mini split installation itself, which includes running the line set, mounting the indoor head, setting the outdoor unit, and connecting power. The flat price gives you predictable costs for your practice budget.

Questions

Can a mini split handle the heat load from multiple animals in a kennel room?

Yes, but you need to size the unit correctly. A standard 9,000 BTU head covers a typical exam room, while a kennel with several runs may need a 12,000 or 18,000 BTU head. During our pre install walkthrough we assess the room size, insulation, and animal load to recommend the right capacity. The flat price covers the labor and materials for the zone, not the equipment size, but we use industry standard sizing.

Will the mini split make noise that disturbs pets or staff?

Mini split indoor units are very quiet, typically around 20 to 30 decibels on low fan speed, which is quieter than a standard window unit. The outdoor compressor is placed away from patient areas, usually on a concrete pad or wall bracket. We position the indoor head so the airflow does not blow directly on cages or exam tables. Most pets adapt quickly, and the consistent temperature reduces stress compared to a noisy window unit.

Do you install mini splits during active clinic hours?

We can schedule the install to minimize disruption. Most one to three zone jobs finish in a single day, and we work with you to shut down the zone being installed. We drill the wall pass through from the outside, run the line set, mount the indoor head, and connect the outdoor unit. The crew cleans up and tests the system before leaving. If needed, we can work after hours or on weekends for an additional scheduling fee, but we will discuss that before the work starts.
