Year-Round Comfort for Minneapolis & St. Paul's Older Homes
Ductless heat pump installation, exclusively for homes with boiler heat and no ductwork. We handle the permits, the install, and the rebate paperwork.
Is this you?
🏠 You have a boiler and no central AC Your home was built for radiant heat, and every summer you're back to dragging out window units.
🌡️ You've been tolerating window units for years Noisy, inefficient, and they take up half your window. There's a better way.
✅ You want heating AND cooling in one system A ductless heat pump does both, year-round, in the same unit.
🌿 You have a three-season room that's unusable half the year Too hot in July, too cold in September. A single-zone mini-split fixes that.
🚗 You want to heat or cool a garage or workshop Whether it's a workspace, a gym, or just where you spend your weekends, ductless makes it comfortable year-round.
Why Mini-Splits are the right call
⚡ Energy efficient Mini-splits move heat rather than generate it, making them 2–3x more efficient than electric resistance heat. Most customers see a meaningful drop in their energy bills.
🔧 No ductwork required The entire system runs through a 3-inch hole in the wall. That's what makes them the right fit for older homes that were never built for forced air.
🌡️Year-round comfort One system handles both heating and cooling. Cold-climate models from Mitsubishi, Daikin, and Fujitsu maintain full output well below 0°F — built for Minnesota winters.
🤫 Clean and quiet No ducts means no dust redistribution. Indoor units run near-silently and can be controlled room by room. ductless makes it comfortable year-round.
