The first 100 degree day

The first 100 degree day of the year tends to expose every marginal room in an Austin house at once. A room that was tolerable in spring can become the room nobody wants to be in by June, and that is usually when people finally act on a comfort problem they had been putting off. Jester Climate installs ductless mini split systems so you can fix that space before the next heat wave instead of living through another one first.

The flat rate

One number, materials and labor together

Standard day
$2,400
Materials and labor, installed. Six days a week sit at this rate.
Joker day
Lower, every week
One day a week costs less. It moves weekly, revealed on the homepage.

$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.

For this room

The first 100 degree day

By late afternoon the hallway thermostat can still look reasonable, but the far bedroom, the converted garage, or the upstairs office has already crossed into unbearable. Heat that was easy to ignore in May now sits in the room and will not leave. That is the afternoon a closed door stops being a solution.

This is the week people stop waiting, because the next stretch of 100s is already on the forecast. Standard installation of a ductless mini split is $2,400, materials and labor together, a flat rate. A $400 materials deposit holds the day, and the remaining balance is due when the licensed crew finishes the work.

We never promise a specific BTU number for a room. Sizing starts as a rule of thumb and gets confirmed by an on-site visit, because glass, sun, and how you use the space matter more than a guess over the phone. One day each week is Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate. The dragon on the throne deals that day's price like a playing card, and the day moves week to week, so the exact figure lives on the homepage rather than here.

Common questions

What people ask us about this

Why did a room that felt fine in May become the one nobody will sit in on the first 100 degree day?

The first 100 degree day tends to expose every marginal room at once. Spring load was light enough that a weak duct run or a sun-soaked wall still felt tolerable. By June that same room holds heat and becomes the space you close off, which is usually when people finally act.

Can you promise a BTU size over the phone so I know it will keep that room livable?

No. Sizing is always described as a rule of thumb that gets confirmed by an on-site visit. We never guarantee a specific BTU number for a room in advance, because the first brutal afternoon is a poor time to guess at glass, insulation, and how the space is used.

What do I actually pay, and how does Joker Day fit in if I want this done before the next heat wave?

Standard installation is $2,400 for materials and labor together, a flat rate. One day every week is Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate. That day moves week to week and the exact price is revealed on the homepage. A $400 materials deposit holds your day, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished.

If I tough out this first 100 degree stretch, can I just wait until fall?

You can, and that is how the same room stays the room nobody wants to be in through June, July, and August. Fixing it before the next heat wave beats living through another one first. Call (512) 297-7493 when you are ready to hold a day.

Do I have to replace the whole house system, or can you just treat the room that failed?

Jester Climate installs ductless mini split systems for the problem room, not a full replacement of every duct. The licensed crew handles materials and labor together. An on-site visit still confirms the approach for that space before anyone starts.

Ready when you are

Call (512) 297-7493 or check this week's price on the homepage, and get that room cooled before the next heat wave instead of after it.
