If it’s time to upgrade your home’s HVAC system, O'Boys Plumbing, Heating & Air recommends considering mini-splits in Minneapolis, MN. Ductless mini-splits have few requirements and are suitable for practically any home.
You can choose a mini-split as a standalone cooling and heating solution for your home. Homeowners can also pair it with an existing central system. It’s a cost-effective way to add HVAC zoning. A mini-split is also an effective way to cool and heat home additions, finished basements, and so forth.
"We've been using O'Boys for the last few months and have been very happy with their service! Their cozy club is worth every penny!"
A common question is whether ductless mini-splits can provide both cooling and heating, and the answer is yes. You have two core options. There are ductless air conditioners, which provide cooling only. There are also ductless heat pumps, which provide heating and cooling.
If you use a mini-split for primary heating, there are also mini-split systems with electric heating strips. Those are helpful on freezing nights when a heat pump isn’t as efficient.
In both cases, there are single- and multi-zone mini-splits. Single-zone systems have an outdoor condenser unit and one indoor unit. This configuration is effective for home additions, garages, satellite buildings, and so on.
Multi-zone systems can have one or more indoor units. The upper limit is usually around eight. If you need more than that, multiple outdoor condenser units are an option.
Most manufacturers include wall-mounted indoor units with their prepackaged ductless mini-splits. Modern wall units are slim, and we’ll usually install them up near the ceiling. Ceiling mounting is an option as well. There is a cassette form factor that we can install flush with the ceiling.
Many brands also offer cassette units that protrude from the ceiling and have vents on all four sides. That design is particularly effective in large living rooms and kitchens where wall units aren’t practical. There are floor units too for basements, attics, and other areas with limited wall space.
Mini-split manufacturers typically include a remote control for each indoor unit. If you’re installing multiple indoor units, Wi-Fi is a nice feature to have. It will let you control all indoor units from one remote or even your smartphone.
Modern mini-splits provide Minneapolis homeowners many benefits.
Quiet operation
Lower operating costs
Rebates and tax credits

Reduced household carbon footprint
