Houseplant and seed-starting growers

If you run grow lights for houseplants or seed starting, you know the extra heat they add. A closed room with lights on for hours can push temperatures well above what your plants need, drying out soil and stressing seedlings.

For this room

Houseplant and seed-starting growers

Grow lights running twelve to sixteen hours a day create a steady, often unwelcome heat load. That heat builds up fast, especially when the door stays shut to control light, and it can make the room too warm for seeds to germinate evenly or for tender houseplants to thrive.

A ductless mini split from Jester Climate gives you precise temperature control without the draft and noise of a window unit. You can set it to hold a steady, moderate temperature that keeps your soil moist and your seedlings happy, even when the lights are blazing.

We install flat rate for $2,400, materials and labor together. One day each week is our Joker Day at a lower price, with the exact amount posted on the homepage. To book, a $400 materials deposit holds your day, and the balance is due when the work is finished.

Common questions

What people ask us about this

Will a mini split help keep my seed starting room at a consistent temperature?

Yes, a mini split can both cool and heat, so you can maintain a steady temperature for germination. The right size and placement are key, which is why we confirm sizing with an on-site visit rather than promising a specific BTU number in advance.

How does the pricing work? Is it really a flat rate?

Our standard installation is a flat $2,400 for materials and labor. One day each week is the Joker Day at a lower price, and you can see that week's exact price on our homepage. A $400 materials deposit holds your day, and you pay the rest when the job is done.

Can I use a mini split to both cool and heat my grow room?

Yes, mini splits provide both cooling and heating, so you can keep your grow room at a stable temperature all year. That’s especially useful when outdoor temperatures swing and your lights add heat on top of whatever the season brings.

How do you determine what size unit I need for my grow room?

We start with a rule of thumb based on the room’s square footage and the estimated heat load from your lights. Then we confirm the sizing during a free on-site visit before any installation begins. We don’t promise a specific BTU number without seeing the space.

Will the installation be disruptive? I have plants in the room.

We work cleanly and typically finish in one day. We’ll coordinate with you to minimize disturbance to your plants, and we can set up the unit so it doesn’t interfere with your light layout or shelves.
