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, without running new duct or opening walls.
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 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.
