Updated September 2026. Jester Climate posts a standard flat rate, plus one day a week, Joker Day, when the price drops lower.
When you need a ductless mini split in Austin, the first question is always the same: how much will it cost? Most HVAC companies in Central Texas answer with a custom quote, which can leave you wondering if the final number is fair or inflated. At Jester Climate, we simplify that decision with a clear flat rate. Our standard weekday price is $2,400 for a single-zone installation, while weekend installs are $2,600. This upfront pricing means no surprises, no haggling, and no waiting for a salesperson to call you back with a number that might change tomorrow.
Why the difference between weekday and weekend rates? It comes down to scheduling and demand. Weekdays are typically easier for homeowners to coordinate, and our team can plan routes more efficiently. Weekends, on the other hand, are in high demand, and we adjust the price to reflect that. But whether you book a weekday or weekend, you’re getting the same high-quality installation from our licensed team. The only variable is the calendar, not the work itself. This flat-rate model is designed to give you confidence in your budget before you even pick up the phone.
Joker Day is our way of making ductless mini splits even more affordable for Austin homeowners. Every week, we reveal a special discounted rate on our homepage, and that price is only available for bookings made on Joker Day itself. Think of it like a weekly flash sale, but with a playful twist inspired by our court-jester theme. The discount isn’t just a random number; it’s a deliberate way to reward customers who can be flexible with their timing and are ready to move forward when the deal appears.
How much can you save? That’s the fun part, you won’t know until Joker Day arrives. The discount varies, but it’s always designed to make your install more affordable than our standard flat rate. The key is to check our homepage on the day of the deal or sign up for our email list to get a heads-up when the next Joker Day is announced. If you’re not in a rush and can time your booking to match the weekly discount, you could secure a price that’s lower than our already competitive weekday rate. It’s our way of saying thank you to customers who play along with our theme and plan ahead.
When you’re ready to book your ductless mini split, we ask for a $400 deposit to secure your spot on our schedule. This isn’t just a placeholder; it’s a commitment from both sides. For you, it means your installation date is locked in, and no one else can take that slot. For us, it ensures we can order the right equipment, assign our licensed team, and prepare everything for your specific install. Without the deposit, we’d have to overbook or risk delays, and neither of those outcomes serves our customers well.
The $400 deposit is also fully refundable if you need to cancel, provided you give us at least 48 hours’ notice. We understand that life happens, and plans change, so we’ve built flexibility into the process. Once your install is complete, the deposit is applied directly to your final invoice, so you’re never paying twice. It’s a simple way to keep things fair and transparent, just like our flat-rate pricing. And if you book on Joker Day, that same deposit still applies, but you’ll enjoy the lower price when it’s time to settle up.
A standard Jester Climate installation includes everything you need to start cooling or heating your space efficiently. Our flat-rate pricing covers a single-zone ductless mini split system, which consists of one indoor air handler and one outdoor condenser. We handle the full installation, from mounting the indoor unit on your wall to running the refrigerant lines and electrical connections to the outdoor unit. Our licensed team ensures the system is properly charged, tested, and ready to use by the time we leave your home.
Beyond the hardware and labor, we also include a basic electrical disconnect and a 10-foot line set, which is the standard length for most residential installations. If your setup requires additional line set or electrical work, we’ll discuss those options upfront so there are no surprises. We also provide a walkthrough of your new system, showing you how to use the remote control, adjust the settings, and perform basic maintenance. Our goal is to leave you with a fully functional, reliable mini split and the knowledge to keep it running smoothly for years to come.
If you’re looking to save the most on your ductless mini split, timing your install around Joker Day is the smartest move. Since the discount changes weekly, you’ll want to check our homepage regularly or sign up for our email alerts to know when the next deal is live. The best strategy is to have your space ready, know where you want the indoor unit mounted, ensure there’s clear access for our team, and be prepared to book quickly once the discount is revealed. Joker Day deals often have limited availability, so acting fast is key.
For Austin homeowners who can be flexible, Joker Day offers a chance to secure a price that’s lower than our standard $2,400 weekday rate. If you’re not in a hurry, waiting for the next discount could be well worth it. On the other hand, if you need your mini split installed right away, our flat-rate pricing is still a great deal compared to the custom quotes you’ll find elsewhere in Central Texas. The general market range for a single-zone install often falls between $3,000 and $6,000, so even our standard weekday price is designed to be budget-friendly. Joker Day just sweetens the deal for those who can plan ahead.
Joker Day offers a discounted rate that’s lower than our standard flat price, but we never claim to be the cheapest option in Austin. The discount is designed to make our already affordable flat-rate pricing even more budget-friendly for customers who can book on the deal day. Compared to custom quotes from other HVAC companies, which often range from $3,000 to $6,000, our pricing model is transparent and predictable.
The current Joker Day discount is always displayed on our homepage. You can check it anytime to see if a deal is active. We also send email alerts to our subscribers when a new Joker Day is announced, so signing up for our list is a great way to stay informed. The discount is only available for bookings made on the day it’s revealed, so checking regularly is the best way to catch the deal.
If you book on Joker Day and later need to reschedule, your discounted rate is still locked in as long as you give us at least 48 hours’ notice. The $400 deposit remains fully refundable if you cancel within that window. If you reschedule, we’ll work with you to find a new date that fits your needs while keeping your Joker Day price intact.
Yes, the $400 deposit applies to all bookings, including those made on Joker Day. The deposit secures your installation date and is applied directly to your final invoice. If you book on Joker Day, your final price will reflect the discounted rate, and the deposit will be deducted from that total. The process is the same whether you book on a weekday, weekend, or Joker Day.
Our standard installation includes a 10-foot line set, which covers most residential setups. If your install requires additional line set or electrical work, we’ll discuss those options with you before the job begins. Any extra costs will be clearly explained upfront, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before we start the work. We never add hidden fees or surprise charges after the fact.
Call (512) 297-7493 or book online with a simple $400 deposit, and pay the rest after it is running.
