Pick the date. Get it confirmed.

You pick the install date. It gets confirmed. If anything changes, you get told.

Book it after drywall is down and the outdoor location is clear. Do not book against a trade that is still in the way. Call (512) 297-7493 to book.

What the number covers and what it does not

The weekday figure is a standard single zone mini split install, materials and labor. It covers the indoor unit, outdoor unit, line set, condensate drain, and the circuit confirmed at the site walk. Anything outside that scope is non standard.

If it is not standard, you get a quote first. Extra work does not start without that quote. That keeps extras off the walkthrough conversation.

Walkthrough is when your client judges you

The owner walks the ADU with you. They see the head, the line set, the outdoor unit, and the penetrations. That is the install they remember.

Expect caps on, condensate draining, and the outdoor unit set and level. If the site walk changed the plan, that change was already quoted.

Repeat jobs, one phone number

Call (512) 297-7493 to set up repeat scheduling. That is all you do on the repeat side. Service area is Austin and the I-35 corridor.

ADUs, casitas, and pool houses in Killeen take the same standard line item when the scope matches. Each address still gets a site walk. Size and routing still get confirmed on site.

Site walk before you lock equipment

A casita reads smaller than it loads. West glass and a hot attic push the size up. The size gets confirmed on site.

Line set path, drain routing, penetration location, and circuit are confirmed at the site walk. Permits stay with the owner or the general contractor. Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Jester Climate is not a permitting authority.

$2,400 weekday. $2,600 Saturday or Sunday. One Joker day each week is priced under the weekday rate. The day moves week to week and it is shown on the home page, so if your schedule has slack you can aim at it.

Non standard work is quoted before any work begins. Nothing gets added to the number without you approving it first.

Questions builders ask
Can I put $2,400 on the estimate today?
Yes, for a standard single zone mini split install on a weekday, materials and labor. Use $2,600 if you are scheduling a weekend. Off standard items wait for a quote before work starts.
What is the $400 and when is the rest due?
Materials deposit is $400 to book the date. Balance is due on completion. Quoted extras, if any, are on the table before work starts so completion day is not a surprise.
Who pulls permits inside Killeen city limits?
You do, or the owner does. Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Jester Climate is not a permitting authority. Confirming that is on the owner or the general contractor.
Where should this fall in my trade stack?
Walls closed, outdoor location clear, circuit ready as confirmed at the site walk. You name the date from there. Call (512) 297-7493 and the date is either confirmed or you are told it is not.
I am stacking casitas this year. How do I set repeat work?
Call (512) 297-7493 to set up repeat scheduling. Each address still gets a site walk. Standard jobs use the same weekday or weekend number.
