If you have a west-facing room in Austin, you already know the pattern. The Texas sun slams those windows in the late afternoon, right when the rest of the house has already soaked up the day's heat, and by evening that room sits several degrees warmer than every other space. Curtains and blinds cut the glare, but they do nothing about the heat still pouring through the glass.
$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.
Central air is sized for the whole house, not for one wall of west glass that turns into a radiator every afternoon. The thermostat in the hallway never sees how hot that room actually gets, so the system keeps cycling as if everything were even. A ductless mini split puts cooling right in that space so the rest of the house does not have to freeze while you wait for evening.
Jester Climate installs ductless mini split systems, materials and labor together, for rooms like this along the I-35 corridor. The crew is licensed. Sizing starts as a rule of thumb that accounts for west sun exposure, then gets confirmed on an on-site visit. Nothing is promised as a specific capacity before someone actually sees the glass and the room.
The standard installation price is $2,400, flat rate, materials and labor. One day every week the dragon on the throne deals a Joker Day at a lower price. That day and the exact price live on the homepage, and they move week to week. Booking takes a $400 materials deposit to hold the day, with the remaining balance due when the work is finished.
The west sun hits hardest in the late afternoon when the house is already warm. Heat radiates through the glass long after you close the blinds, and central air sized for the whole house rarely accounts for that one room's extra load. The hallway thermostat never feels the difference, so that space just keeps climbing.
We start with a rule of thumb that looks at the room and the west-facing glass, then confirm everything with an on-site visit. We never promise a specific capacity or BTU number in advance. The visit is how we match the unit to the actual heat coming through those windows.
The standard installation is $2,400, materials and labor together, as a flat rate. One day every week is Joker Day, priced lower than the standard rate, and that exact price is revealed only on the homepage. A $400 materials deposit holds the day, and the remaining balance is due when the work is finished.
Yes, because it cools only that space, independent of the central system. You can leave the rest of the house at a normal setting instead of turning the whole system down just for one west room. The licensed crew places the indoor unit so it can actually reach the heat coming off the glass.
Curtains and blinds only block light, not the heat already radiating through the glass. A mini split gives you a way to pull that extra afternoon and evening heat out of the room. We look at the actual windows and exposure during the on-site visit before anything is locked in.
