We arrive in fully stocked service vehicles and aim to resolve the issue in a single visit. We always complete a thorough examination of your system, aiming to find the root of the problem and get it fixed rather than just patching up the symptoms.

Licensed Installations

Ready to upgrade from your aging furnace-and-air-conditioning combo? Or finally building that home addition? You’re in the right place! Ductless mini-split systems offer seamless comfort no matter what the weather brings, even when transitioning between cold nights and hot days.

Our team walks you through all your installation options, including the placement of both indoor and outdoor equipment. Mini-split installations are far less invasive than central air conditioners, since we don’t have to adjust or install ductwork, but you have many personalization options!

Thorough Mini-Split Maintenance

The best way to maintain your comfort and prevent sudden breakdowns is to schedule regular maintenance for your ductless heating and cooling system! Just like you take your car for oil changes and tune-ups, we make sure your HVAC system is clean, efficient, and performing its best.

We inspect every aspect of your system during a maintenance visit, from wiring and drain lines to thermostat calibration, refrigerant levels, and filter cleanliness. We’ll report any areas of concern to you, then clean, refill, and adjust as necessary so your mini-split is back in top shape.

Upgrade Your Home

Ductless mini-splits offer several advantages over traditional air conditioners and heating systems, including longer lifespans and more efficient operation. Well-maintained mini-split systems can last over 20 years, providing decades of reliable comfort.

These systems also use significantly less energy thanks to their unique heat-exchange system that moves heat rather than creating it. Plus, there’s no energy wasted by your air traveling through air ducts. Other benefits range from quiet operation to zoned temperature control. Reach out today to learn more!

Frequently Asked Questions About Mini Splits

How often should a ductless mini-split be serviced in Minnesota?

Most systems should be professionally maintained twice a year, though homes using mini-splits year-round may benefit from seasonal tune-ups. We recommend scheduling a mini-split maintenance visit as the weather changes, once before the summer heat and humidity arrive and again when the temperatures start dropping. This keeps your mini-split prepped and efficient for the next season!

What maintenance can homeowners do themselves?

Homeowners should regularly clean or replace filters, keep outdoor units free of snow and debris, and make sure indoor vents stay unobstructed. During heavy snowfall, it’s especially important to keep the outdoor unit clear for proper airflow.

What does “zoned comfort” mean with a mini-split?

Zoned comfort means different rooms or areas of your home can be set to different temperatures independently. For example, you can keep bedrooms cooler at night while maintaining a warmer temperature in your main living area. This can be especially beneficial for rooms that always feel colder or hotter than the rest of the house, or if you have picky family members!

Can a mini-split handle Minnesota winters?

Many modern cold-climate mini-splits are designed to perform well even during harsh Minnesota winters. While extremely low temperatures may require a backup heat source in some homes, today’s systems can provide reliable heating far below freezing when properly sized and installed.

Are mini-splits good for cabins and seasonal lake homes?

Absolutely. Mini-splits are popular for cabins around the Detroit Lakes region because they’re energy efficient, easy to control, and don’t require extensive duct installation. Many systems also include remote access through smartphone apps, making it easy to warm up the cabin before arriving for the weekend.
