If you host a short-term rental in Austin, you already know that guest reviews mention room temperature more often than almost anything else. A hot or stuffy room shows up in a review long before anyone notes the décor or the welcome basket.
$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.
A converted garage, bonus room, or detached unit often lacks the central airflow that keeps a house comfortable. Forcing a window unit into a small space is loud, ugly, and never quite keeps the temperature steady. A ductless mini split from Jester Climate is purpose-built for those awkward rooms where central air doesn't reach.
Guest reviews live and die by comfort. A quiet system matters when travelers are trying to sleep after a long drive or a late flight. A mini split runs nearly silent, so guests get stable cooling or heating without the hum of a window unit or the rattling of an old AC kicking on and off all night.
Comfort is one of the few things a host fully controls before a guest even arrives. Choosing the right system and having it installed right eliminates those one-star complaints about being too hot to sleep. With Jester Climate's flat rate pricing, you know exactly what you're paying before the crew pulls up.
We use a rule of thumb for sizing during our initial conversation, but we always confirm the BTU needs with an on-site visit before ordering equipment. That way you don't get a guess that leaves rooms hot or overcools them and wastes electricity.
Yes, that's exactly what ductless mini splits are for. The wall-mounted indoor unit connects to an outdoor condenser through a small hole, so no ductwork is needed. It works well in spaces that weren't originally built for central air.
Mini splits are much quieter than window units or through-wall ACs. The indoor unit hums at a low level, often quieter than a ceiling fan on low. Guests rarely notice it running, which helps them sleep soundly.
Our standard flat rate for installation is $2,400 for materials and labor. We take a $400 materials deposit to hold your day, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished. One day each week is our Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate, but the exact price changes week to week.
Most mini split installations take one full day with our crew. We're licensed and we work fast, so your rental can be back in service without a multi-day disruption. We handle everything from mounting the indoor unit to running the lines and testing the system.
