What the electrician leaves ready
The house electrician owns the circuit. Jester Climate terminates at the disconnect. Whip and conduit need to be in place before the installer arrives.
Put the disconnect at the outdoor unit location, not on a wall the unit will not sit on. Outdoor location and penetration are confirmed at the site walk. Move either one after that and it is non standard work, quoted before any work begins.
- Dedicated circuit left live and labeled
- Disconnect at the outdoor unit location
- Whip and conduit landed for termination
- Penetration path left open and accessible

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. Non standard work is quoted before any work begins.
What the site walk confirms
Line set length, drain routing, penetration location, circuit, and equipment size are confirmed at the site walk. Nothing in that list is assumed from the plans.
Sizing is a rule of thumb confirmed on site. A casita reads smaller than it loads. West glass and a hot attic push the size up.
How the date works
You pick the date. It gets confirmed. If anything changes, you get told.

What the owner sees at walkthrough
Indoor head is on the wall confirmed at the site walk. Outdoor unit is on the pad location the electrician prepped. Disconnect, whip, and conduit are already there so the installer is not fishing a circuit in front of the buyer.
Change of location, missing electrical, or extra zones get quoted before any work begins. You keep one phone number. Jester Climate is (512) 297-7493.
