Ductless Mini-Splits in Apple Valley, MN
Every south-metro house has one: the bonus room over the garage, the finished basement office, the three-season porch you'd love to use four seasons. Ductless mini-splits heat and cool the spaces your ductwork was never designed to reach — no duct runs, no major construction.
Lofgren installs and services ductless systems across the south metro, from single-room units to multi-zone setups.
Where mini-splits shine
Room additions, converted garages, sunrooms, in-law suites, and that upstairs that roasts every July while the main floor freezes. Each indoor head has its own thermostat, so the room gets conditioned to what it needs — not to what the hallway thermostat thinks the whole house needs.
They're also a clean answer for homes without ductwork at all: older houses with boiler heat can add real air conditioning without tearing walls open.
Quiet, efficient, and yes — they heat too
Modern mini-splits are heat pumps, so most models heat efficiently deep into the cold season as well as cool. Indoor units run at a whisper, and inverter compressors sip electricity by matching output to the room instead of cycling on and off.
Common Questions
- How disruptive is installation?
- Minimal — a small wall penetration for the line set, the indoor head mounted high on the wall, and the compact outdoor unit. Single-zone installs are typically done in a day.
- Can one outdoor unit serve several rooms?
- Yes — multi-zone systems run two to five indoor heads off one outdoor unit, each with independent control.
- Mini-split or ducted system — which do I need?
- If the whole house needs conditioning and ductwork exists, central usually wins. For one or two problem spaces, or a house without ducts, mini-splits are the better tool. We'll tell you straight which one your situation calls for.
