What the Flat Number Covers

The $2,400 weekday rate is one indoor unit and one outdoor unit on a standard single zone. Materials and labor are in that number. Non standard work is quoted before any work begins.

Line set path, circuit size, drain routing, penetration location and equipment size are confirmed at the site walk. A casita reads smaller than it loads. West glass and a hot attic push the size up. The size gets confirmed on site.

Write One Line. Call One Number.

Paste the line item into the estimate as written. Do not hold the bid for a quote on a standard single zone. A pending quote is a hole in the number when the bid is due.

Call (512) 297-7493. Jester Climate. Service area is Austin and the I-35 corridor. For repeat work, call the number to set up repeat scheduling.

Fixed Price Beats a Pending Quote

The owner wants a number. You need a number that does not move after you submit. $2,400 weekdays is that number for a standard single zone.

If the site walk turns up non standard work, that work is quoted before any work begins. You are not surprised at walkthrough because extras were priced in the open first.

How the Date Gets Set

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

Do not wait for a quote to lock a weekday slot on a standard job. The $400 materials deposit books it. Balance due on completion.

Who Looks Bad at Walkthrough

You look bad if the indoor unit is in the wrong wall or the outdoor unit sits in the owner's sight line. Mark both locations before the site walk.

You look bad if an extra shows up as a surprise. Non standard work is quoted before any work begins. Standard work stays on the $2,400 weekday number.

Questions builders ask
Can I type $2,400 into the bid before a site visit?
Yes, for a standard single zone on a weekday. Materials and labor sit in that number. The site walk still happens. If the walk finds non standard work, stop and get a quote before that work starts.
Will a small casita take the same equipment as it looks on paper?
Treat the room as a starting point only. Glass, attic heat, and west exposure change the load. Equipment size is a rule of thumb confirmed on site.
What do I tell the owner about weekends?
Weekend work is $2,600. One joker day each week is priced lower than the weekday rate. Which day it lands on changes week to week and is revealed on the home page.
Do you pull the mechanical permit?
No. Jester Climate does not pull permits. Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Confirming that is on the owner or the general contractor.
What takes a job off the $2,400 weekday number?
Anything outside a standard single zone. Extra zones, concealed units, condensate pumps, special access, and finish repairs get quoted before any work begins. Standard outdoor electrical connection stays in the flat number. Beyond that, wait for the quote.
