We keep things straightforward at Jester Climate. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no financing hoops. You pay a $400 deposit to lock in your install date and then the remaining balance only after your ductless mini split is running and cooling your home. That is it.

Our standard installation is a flat $2,400 for materials and labor combined. One day each week is our Joker Day with a lower price. The exact Joker Day amount changes weekly and is revealed on our homepage. You can snag that deal by booking on that day. Either way the deposit and balance process is the same. Pay by card through a secure checkout. No cash, no checks, no loans.

Step 1: Book Your Install Date with a $400 Deposit

Call us at (512) 297-7493 or use the secure checkout on our site to pay the $400 deposit. That deposit reserves your installation day and goes straight toward your total bill. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover through a protected payment portal. No need to mail a check or hand over cash. The deposit holds your spot on our calendar even if you are booking a Joker Day install. We will send you a confirmation with the date and a reminder before we arrive.

Step 2: Installation Day and Final Payment

Our team shows up on the scheduled day and completes the standard installation. We run the system, check the airflow, and make sure everything is working properly. Then we walk you through the operation so you see the cool air yourself. Only after you are satisfied do we collect the remaining balance. For a standard install that is $2,000. For a Joker Day install the balance is the weekly price minus the $400 deposit you already paid. You pay the balance on the spot with the same secure card checkout. No financing, no monthly payments, no surprises.

Why This Two Step Payment Model Works for Central Texas Homeowners

We chose this model because it builds trust. You do not hand over the full amount until your system is running. That is rare in the HVAC world. Many companies ask for half or even full payment upfront. Our approach is fairer. It also keeps things simple for you. No credit checks, no interest, no long term obligations. Permits? We handle what is required based on your city. Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, San Marcos, Killeen, Temple, Waco – each area has its own rules. We take care of that paperwork. You just pay the deposit and the balance after you feel the comfort.

Common questions

Deposit and Balance Payment Guide, answered

Is the $400 deposit refundable if I cancel?

The deposit secures your install date and time. If you need to cancel or reschedule, call us. We handle cancellations on a case by case basis. Generally we will refund the deposit minus any costs we already incurred for materials or scheduling. But the best way is to keep your date or let us know as early as possible.

Can I pay the balance before installation to get it over with?

We only collect the balance after installation is complete and you have seen the system running. That is part of our trust promise. You never pay for something that is not yet working. So no, you cannot pay early. The balance is due at completion.

How do I get the Joker Day price?

Check our homepage atxminisplitjester.com each week. The current Joker Day price is posted there. You book your install on that specific day and you pay the lower price. The deposit is still $400. The final balance will be the Joker Day price minus your deposit. The exact dollar figure changes weekly so we do not list it here. Just visit the site.

Do you offer financing or payment plans?

No, we do not. We keep it simple with a deposit and a single final payment. No loans, no interest, no credit check. If you need to spread out the cost you might consider a standard install at $2,400 or check the current Joker Day price. Either way you pay in two steps: deposit then balance on completion. No monthly payments.

What if my home needs extra work beyond a standard install?

Our flat $2,400 rate covers a standard installation for most single zone ductless mini splits in the Austin area. If your setup requires unusual electrical work, custom line sets, or structural changes we will give you a fair quote before you pay the deposit. You always know the total cost upfront. No surprises on final balance day.

Ready when you are
