If you keep aquariums, you already know that lights, pumps, and heaters add a steady heat load to the room. A ductless mini split from Jester Climate can pull that heat out and hold a stable ambient temperature, so your tanks stay steady and your chiller works less.
$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.
Aquarium lights and pumps run for hours a day, pushing the room temperature up. In summer, that extra heat fights against your chiller and drives up electric use. A properly sized mini split removes that heat directly, keeping the air around your tanks comfortable for both fish and equipment.
Many hobbyists set up a dedicated fish room in a converted garage or spare room that never had air conditioning. A ductless mini split installs with just a small hole in the wall, no ductwork needed. It's a clean, practical solution for those spaces. We install anywhere along the I 35 corridor in and around Austin.
We work on a flat rate, all in: $2,400 for materials and labor, with no surprise add ons. One day each week is our Joker Day, priced lower than standard. You put down a $400 materials deposit to hold your installation day, and the balance is due when the job is finished. Check our homepage to see which day is Joker Day and at what price.
Yes. By removing the ambient heat that aquarium equipment puts out, a mini split reduces the temperature difference your chiller has to fight. That means the chiller cycles less often, uses less electricity, and your fish see smaller temperature swings.
We use a rule of thumb based on square footage and heat sources like your tanks and equipment, but we confirm the sizing during a free on site visit. We do not promise a specific BTU number over the phone because every room is different. The visit ensures you get the right capacity.
Yes. Many of our customers have dedicated fish rooms in garages or spare rooms. A ductless mini split works especially well in those spaces because it does not require ductwork. We will run the line set and mount the indoor unit wherever it makes sense for your setup.
The Joker Day rotates each week and the price is set upfront, but you cannot pick which day it falls on. You can choose a standard installation day at $2,400, or if your preferred day happens to be that week's Joker Day, you get the lower price. Check the homepage for this week's Joker price before you book.
Each installation is quoted separately at the flat rate. If you have two separate rooms, we can install two units. The deposit is $400 per system. The Joker Day price applies to one installation per home per week, but you can call to discuss multiple units.
