Think about the spaces your central system has never handled well: a garage workshop that bakes by July, an addition the ductwork never reached, a bonus room that runs too warm or too cold, or an older Minneapolis home built without ducts in the first place. Those are exactly the jobs a ductless mini split was made for. There is no ductwork to leak or lose energy, because each wall-mounted head is fed by a line set that passes through a small hole in the wall. Inside the outdoor unit, an inverter compressor varies its speed to match the load, so the room holds within a fraction of a degree, quietly and on very little power. And when winter comes, it works as a true cold-climate heat pump.
Most of our service calls are for AC Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for Ductless Mini Split Installation
Catching these issues early helps you avoid costly problems. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- Noisy window units you are done lifting in every spring
- You want room-by-room control instead of one thermostat ruling the house
- New living space that should not have to lean on the main system
- Constant thermostat battles over whose room is too hot or too cold
- Older construction where running new ductwork would mean tearing up walls and ceilings
- High bills from electric baseboard or space heaters doing the heating
- An addition or back room that your central system has never kept comfortable
- A sunroom, garage, or finished attic that sits unused half the year
Act Before It Gets Worse
Most HVAC failures start small, a weak capacitor, a squealing blower, a system that runs a little longer each week. Call (763) 247-4119 at the first sign of trouble.
