If you are hosting friends for ACL weekends near Zilker, you know early October in Austin can still hit hard with heat. A guest room or converted space gets used nonstop, and a cool spot to recharge between sets is just as important as the music itself.
$400 materials deposit books your day. The balance is due when the work is finished and you're happy with it. Anything outside a standard install is quoted before work begins, never discovered after.
When you have extra people in the house, body heat and foot traffic push the temperature up fast. Your main AC might struggle to keep a far bedroom or garage conversion comfortable, especially during a warm October afternoon. That room becomes a staging area for naps, gear changes, and downtime, and it needs to stay genuinely cool.
A ductless mini split installation gives that space its own thermostat and quiet, powerful cooling. You can set it exactly where you want, no ductwork needed, and it runs efficiently even when the door is opened and closed all weekend. It turns a spare room into a comfortable retreat for your guests between ACL sets.
Jester Climate installs these systems with a simple flat rate of $2,400 for materials and labor together. One day each week is the Joker Day at a lower price, with the exact rate revealed on the homepage. Booking requires a $400 materials deposit to hold the day, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished. Our licensed crew handles everything so you can focus on hosting.
We use a rule of thumb based on the room's square footage and ceiling height, but we confirm it with an on site visit before any installation. That way we do not promise a specific BTU number ahead of time, and you get a system that actually fits the space.
The standard flat rate for a complete installation is $2,400, covering both materials and labor. You put down a $400 materials deposit to secure your installation day, and the rest is due when the work is finished. No surprises or hidden fees.
Every week we pick one day as Joker Day, and that day's installation price is lower than the standard $2,400 flat rate. The specific day and price change each week and are posted on the Jester Climate homepage, so you can check there for the current deal.
Yes, we work in all kinds of spaces that need cooling, including converted garages, bonus rooms, and sunrooms. The installation is straightforward because ductless systems need no ductwork. Just call to schedule and we can usually get you set up well before the festival weekend if you plan ahead.
A standard install takes one day from start to finish. Our crew works cleanly and sets up the indoor unit and outdoor condenser so that once they leave, the room is ready to use. You can schedule it well before ACL so your guest space is cool and comfortable when friends arrive.
