Ductless mini-splits for Bastrop
Bastrop mixes historic homes near downtown, houses tucked into the Lost Pines, and a lot of rural property with shops, cabins and outbuildings. Many of those spaces were never built with ductwork, and adding it later is expensive.
A ductless mini-split heats and cools one space on its own, with its own thermostat. It’s a clean way to add comfort without rebuilding the house’s HVAC system.
Homes in the Lost Pines
Neighborhoods like Tahitian Village and Pine Forest have many homes set among the trees, including houses rebuilt after the 2011 wildfires. Mini-splits work well for additions, sunrooms and rooms the central system doesn’t reach, and they heat as well as cool for the occasional winter freeze.
Shops, cabins and outbuildings
Out toward Cedar Creek, Paige and Red Rock, plenty of properties have a workshop, barn or guest cabin that needs cooling. We size the system for the building, its insulation and its doors, and plan the electrical connection during the visit.
Common Bastrop projects

What a typical install looks like in Bastrop
We start with a visit to look at the space: its size, insulation, windows and sun exposure. For detached buildings, we also check the electrical service and plan how to get power to the outdoor unit.
On install day, we mount the indoor unit, run the line set and drain line through a small hole in the wall, set the outdoor unit, and connect the power. Most single-zone installs take about a day. With Bastrop’s pine trees, it’s worth keeping the outdoor unit clear of needles and debris, and a yearly tune-up keeps everything running efficiently.
