Mini Splits for ADUs, Guest Houses & Garages — Dallas, TX
Building an ADU, finishing a guest house, or making a garage livable? A ductless mini split is the ideal way to heat and cool it — its own efficient system, no ductwork, no load on the main house. Truficient offers options at every budget. Installed systems start around $3,500. Call 214-238-4349 for pricing — we want your business.
Why a Mini Split Is Perfect for an ADU or Guest House
An accessory dwelling unit, guest house, casita, or garage apartment is a self-contained space — and it deserves its own self-contained climate system. A ductless mini split is exactly that:
- Independent comfort — the ADU sets its own temperature without touching the main house's system or bills
- No ductwork — one slim indoor head, one small outdoor unit, a 3-inch hole between them; perfect for a compact build
- Heats and cools — a single inverter heat pump covers both seasons, so there's no separate furnace to install
- Efficient for rentals — low operating cost matters when a tenant (or you) runs it daily
- Quiet — important in a small living space
It's the standard solution for ADUs for good reason — and it works just as well for a garage conversion, a pool house, or a backyard office.
Options at Every Budget
Mitsubishi is our top recommendation — quietest, most efficient, 12-year Diamond Dealer warranty. But for a rental ADU or a part-time guest house, many owners want a friendlier price, so we offer two value plays:
| Tier | Brand | Warranty | Best for | |---|---|---|---| | Premium | Mitsubishi | 12-yr parts & compressor (Diamond Dealer) | Full-time ADUs, long-term use | | Name-brand value | Gree | 10-yr warranty, established manufacturer | Best balance of price and peace of mind | | Budget value | Value-brand (supply-house) | 3-yr parts / 5-yr warranty + 1-yr Truficient labor | Rentals, part-time guest spaces, garages |
Every Truficient install includes a 1-year labor warranty. Gree is a long-standing, name-brand manufacturer whose 10-year warranty makes it our favorite middle-ground value; the supply-house value brand keeps upfront cost as low as possible.
What It Costs
Installed pricing runs from about $3,500 (equipment included) up to around $8,000 for larger wall-mount systems, depending on size and brand. A typical garage apartment, casita, or single-room ADU usually lands toward the lower end.
