Ductless Mini Split System Installation in Minneapolis & St. Paul

Ductless mini splits are versatile home heating and cooling solutions tailored to temperature flexibility. Since these systems don’t require ductwork or outdoor compressors, additional mini split units can be installed in the homeowner’s room of choice. This allows for increased energy efficiency and savings on monthly bills. 

There are two mini split options homeowners can choose from: a cooling based unit or a heat pump that can provide cooling and heating. When you schedule an appointment with Total Comfort, we’ll help you make the decision that best fits your needs. Here is how these two options differ:

• Cooling Mini Split System. A cooling mini split system is one of the many AC options available. This air conditioning solution keeps spaces cool during the summer months and can be added to different rooms for more effective cooling. This system can also be placed in split level homes that have no ductwork or homes that are boiler-heated. 
• Dual Function Heat Pump. This mini split style provides heating and cooling. The dual function unit is popular with four-season porches, garages, and boiler-heated homes.

1. General Benefits: Mini-split air conditioners heat and cool your environment via wall-mounted units. They don’t need ductwork, so they’re perfect for properties with challenging architectural features. If your family fights over thermostat settings, a mini-split system can deliver a different temperature in every room.
2. Reduced Noise: Ductwork can be noisy. The metal expands and contracts, causing noise as it does so. Traditional HVAC units also rely on variable speed fans too, and they come with their own noise. If ambient sounds make you anxious, a ductless system might be the HVAC choice for you.
3. Improved Filtration: HEPA filters use UV filtration to supplement other filters, eliminating bacteria and mold in addition to other allergens. If you live with a family member who has a compromised immune system, a HEPA unit could have important health benefits for you.
4. Energy Efficiency: Ductless systems don’t require you to clean or maintain any ductwork. They retain their cooling powers better and can reduce your energy consumption by 30% or more.
5. No Need for Renovation: Traditional HVAC systems require major renovation. Compared to ductless systems which can be installed in only one or two days, depending on the size of the unit. Your air handlers only need mounting frames and a few holes, so installation won’t be a major disruption.
6. Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems: Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems connect as many as 48 units into the same system, letting you cool some rooms while you heat others.

The installation process for ductless HVAC systems takes less than a day. Total Comfort will scale the number of indoor satellite units to match the number of rooms or floors in your home for which you’d like heating and cooling. The installation process involves the placement of a condenser/compressor outside your home to condition refrigerant. The refrigerant is either heated or cooled and then moved to satellite units inside your home for blower fans to distribute cold or warm air.

Before selecting a ductless HVAC system for your home, there are things to consider. It’s better to know if these systems are a good fit for your home. Some homes are too small to support a full-sized duct system. High-velocity comfort systems and ductless heating and cooling systems are two solutions designed for these situations. It’s common for these homes to have boilers for heating, but cooling is the main concern. If this is the case, or if your current duct system requires an upgrade that is out of your price range, a mini split air conditioning system may be the best option for you.

Total Comfort will walk you through the entire process. Installation or replacement. And in the end, provide you with the heating and cooling solution you’re looking for.
