If you rent out a garage apartment, you know the difference between a unit that's barely enclosed and one that's genuinely livable. Tenants notice a room that runs hot, and those complaints show up in reviews or drive turnover. Your garage apartment almost certainly has no connection to the main house's HVAC, so a dedicated mini split system is often the most straightforward way to make the space rentable and comfortable.
$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.
A standard mini split installation from Jester Climate covers materials and labor for a flat rate of $2,400, with no hidden fees. That price includes everything needed to get the unit running: the indoor head, outdoor compressor, line set, pad, electrical disconnect, and professional installation by our licensed crew. You pay a $400 materials deposit to hold your installation day, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished.
Because every garage apartment is different, we size the system based on a rule of thumb that gets confirmed during our on site visit. We don't promise a specific BTU number for your space before we see it. Instead, we come out, take measurements, and recommend the right capacity to keep the unit genuinely comfortable, not just barely cool enough to avoid a code violation.
One day each week is our Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate. The Joker day moves week to week, and the exact price is posted on our homepage. This is a real, honest discount for clients who can be flexible with their schedule. If you're ready to turn your garage apartment into a reliably comfortable rental, give us a call or check this week's Joker Day price.
We start with a general rule of thumb based on square footage and ceiling height, but we never promise a specific BTU number until we've done an on site visit. Our crew comes out, measures the space, and confirms the right capacity for consistent comfort, not just the minimum to get by.
The flat rate covers all materials and labor: the indoor unit, outdoor condenser, line set, pad, electrical disconnect, and full installation. There are no surprises. The only extra is the $400 materials deposit required to hold your installation date, and the remaining balance is due after the job is finished.
One day each week is our Joker Day, and the installation price that day is lower than the standard $2,400 flat rate. The Joker day changes weekly, and the exact discounted price is always posted on our homepage. If your schedule allows for flexibility, you can save on a dedicated system for your garage apartment.
Yes. A ductless mini split is designed for spaces that have no existing ductwork or connection to a central system. It operates independently, with its own indoor and outdoor units, so you can control the temperature in the garage apartment separately from the main house. This makes it a practical, dedicated solution for a rental unit.
We size and install the system to meet real comfort needs, not just code minimums. Our on site visit ensures the unit matches the space. If there's ever an issue, we're a licensed crew that stands behind our work. But the best way to avoid complaints is to start with a properly sized system, which is exactly what we do.
