Ductless work in Lakeway follows the houses that were never ducted, or the single rooms a central system never reached. Custom and semi-custom homes with multiple attic or closet systems. Equipment is often tucked where it looked good on a plan and works poorly for service.
Lakeway houses are larger, more glazed, and more likely to have several systems or zones. A single unhappy room in Rough Hollow or The Hills is not a reason to replace every unit. Access can be difficult, condensate has a long way to fall, and the afternoon sun on west glass is a real load.
Ductless Mini-Splits issues we see in Lakeway
Glass and levels the thermostat cannot see
A Lakeway great room with west glass will not track a sensor in a hallway. Zoning or a dedicated system has to match how the house is actually used.
Condensate that fails on a long drop
Multi-story drains clog, lose their trap, or dump where nobody looks until the ceiling stains. We treat drainage as part of the repair, not a footnote.
Several systems, one of them failing
We label which equipment serves which floor before replacing parts. Lakeway houses punish a guess.

How we handle the job
01Decide if ductless is the right project
We will recommend a conventional system when the house already has sound ducts.
02Place the heads and the line sets on purpose
Drainage has to go downhill or to a pump we can stand behind. Line sets should not be an afterthought across the front of the house.
03Install, commission, and show you how to clean the filters
Mini-split filters are simple and they matter. We leave you able to maintain them between visits.

No. They are a solid whole-house approach for older homes without ducts, and a targeted approach for one difficult room. They are a poor way to abandon a duct system that only needs repairs.
Most of the systems we install are heat pumps, so they do both. In a hard freeze, sizing and the specific model’s low-ambient performance matter, and we cover that in the quote.
Usually the condensate path is clogged, flat, or pumped poorly. That is a service call. Keep the indoor unit off if water is reaching the wall.
