Landlords upgrading a rental property

If you are a landlord looking to add cooling to a rental room that currently relies on a window unit or nothing at all, a ductless mini split from Jester Climate turns that room into a faster renting, longer staying asset. Tenants notice the difference between a window unit and a quiet, wall mounted system, and they renew leases more often when comfort complaints disappear.

For this room

Landlords upgrading a rental property

A room with real cooling rents faster and holds tenants longer. Window units are a common workaround that tenants complain about, and comfort complaints are one of the most common reasons tenants don't renew. A documented upgrade like a mini split is a straightforward selling point you can list in your rental ad, showing future tenants that you invested in their comfort.

Our flat rate of $2,400 covers materials and labor for a standard install, so you know the exact cost upfront. Booking requires a $400 materials deposit to hold the day, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished. 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 revealed on our homepage. You can lock in that lower rate when you book that day.

We size your system based on a rule of thumb that gets confirmed by an on site visit, not a promise made over the phone. Our licensed crew handles the installation from start to finish, so you don't have to coordinate separate trades. Give us a call at (512) 297-7493 to talk about your property and see if this week's Joker Day works for your schedule.

Common questions

What people ask us about this

How do you size a mini split for a rental room?

We use a rule of thumb based on the room's square footage and layout, but we confirm the exact BTU needs during an on site visit. We never promise a specific BTU number before seeing the space, because factors like ceiling height and window exposure matter. The visit is free and ensures the system is right for the room.

What is the flat rate and how does the deposit work?

Our standard flat rate is $2,400 for materials and labor together. To book a day, we ask for a $400 materials deposit to hold the date. The remaining balance is due when the work is finished. One day each week is our Joker Day at a lower price, and the exact amount is shown on our homepage.

Can I schedule the Joker Day for a specific week?

The Joker Day moves week to week, so you can check the current price on our homepage. If that day works for your schedule, you can book it. If not, the standard flat rate is available any day we have an opening.

Will this upgrade help me rent the room faster?

Yes, a room with a dedicated mini split instead of a window unit is a clear selling point in a listing. Tenants see it as a sign of quality and are less likely to complain about temperature. Lower comfort complaints often mean fewer turnover headaches for you.

Do you handle the whole installation, or do I need to hire extra people?

We handle everything from start to finish. Our licensed crew installs the mini split, runs the lines, and connects the system. There is no need for you to coordinate an electrician or a separate contractor. You just need to provide access to the room and a power source nearby.
