Ready to Serve Every Home in Minneapolis & the Twin Cities
Northern One Hour provides ductless mini-split installation and repair throughout Minneapolis and the Twin Cities, working in homes with a wide range of layouts and ages.
In Minneapolis, we frequently work in neighborhoods like South Minneapolis, Nokomis, Longfellow, and Northeast, where older homes, finished basements, and upper-level conversions often benefit from ductless zoning. Across St. Paul, many homes have been updated over time rather than rebuilt, which makes targeted ductless solutions a practical fit for improving comfort without reworking existing duct systems.
We also serve nearby Twin Cities communities including Bloomington, Richfield, Edina, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, Roseville, Maple Grove, Plymouth, and Woodbury, where newer construction, additions, and multi-level layouts create different ductless opportunities — from single-room solutions to full-home systems.
If you’re located anywhere in Minneapolis or the Twin Cities, chances are we’ve already worked in homes similar to yours.
When Homeowners Start Thinking About Switching from Central Heating & Air to Ductless
It Usually Starts with Ongoing Comfort Issues
Most homeowners around Minneapolis and St. Paul don’t plan to replace their furnace with ductless right away. The idea usually comes up after dealing with the same comfort problems year after year, even though the furnace still runs.
We see this when upstairs rooms stay warmer than the rest of the house, basements never quite catch up, or certain rooms are always uncomfortable no matter where the thermostat is set. In many of these homes, the furnace isn’t the issue — the ductwork is.
Furnace Replacement Time Brings Up Bigger Questions
Another common moment is when a furnace reaches the end of its life. At that point, homeowners naturally pause and ask whether replacing it with the same setup will actually improve comfort.
In homes with undersized or poorly routed ductwork, a new furnace alone doesn’t always fix long-standing issues. That’s often when ductless enters the conversation as an option worth looking at.
Remodels, Additions, and New Builds Change the Equation
Finished basements, attic conversions, and additions are common across the Twin Cities, and they can push an older heating system beyond what it was designed to handle.
We also work with homeowners building new homes who want more control over comfort from the start. In some new builds, ductless is chosen to simplify design, reduce duct runs, or create independent zones in areas like upper levels, offices, or in-law spaces. When it’s planned properly, ductless can be a clean, efficient solution in both existing homes and new construction.
Ductless Isn’t Always the Right Answer — and That’s Okay
Ductless works well in the right situations, but it’s not a universal replacement for central heating and cooling. Sometimes it makes sense as a full replacement. Other times, a hybrid approach works better. And in some homes, staying with a traditional system is still the best choice.
The key is understanding what’s actually causing the comfort problems and choosing a solution that fits the house.
How We Help Homeowners Decide
Our job is to look at how your home is laid out, how it’s been updated over time, and how it handles Minnesota winters. We explain the options in plain terms and help you decide what makes sense — without pressure.

Ductless Mini-Split FAQs
Do ductless mini-split systems work well in Minnesota winters?
Yes — when the system is designed for cold climates and properly sized. Many ductless systems we install are built to handle Twin Cities winters, either as a primary heat source in the right homes or as part of a hybrid setup alongside existing heating.
Can ductless replace my furnace, or is it better as a supplement?
It depends on the home. Some homeowners replace central heating entirely when ductwork is the limiting factor. Others use ductless to supplement problem areas like upper levels, basements, or additions. We help you figure out what makes sense based on layout, insulation, and comfort goals.
Why do so many Twin Cities homeowners use ductless for upstairs or basement spaces?
These areas are often the hardest to heat and cool with a central system, especially in older Minneapolis and St. Paul homes. Ductless allows direct, zoned control without reworking existing ductwork.
What are common ductless repair issues you see locally?
We frequently see reduced output, error codes, refrigerant issues, condensate problems, and systems that were never sized or placed correctly. Because we service ductless systems across the metro, we’re familiar with these issues and how to fix them properly.
Is ductless a good option for new construction in the Twin Cities?
It can be. Some homeowners choose ductless in new builds to simplify design, reduce duct runs, or create independent zones for offices, upper levels, or in-law spaces. Planning early is key to getting the best performance.
How often do ductless systems need maintenance?
We recommend seasonal maintenance. Regular cleaning and inspections help ductless systems stay efficient, prevent breakdowns, and extend equipment life — especially with the long heating seasons we have here.
Do you service ductless systems in specific Minneapolis neighborhoods and suburbs?
Yes. We work throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding Twin Cities communities every day. Chances are we’ve serviced ductless systems in homes similar to yours, whether you’re in the city or a nearby suburb.
Is ductless quieter than traditional HVAC systems?
In most cases, yes. Ductless systems are known for quiet operation, especially indoors. Proper installation and placement make a big difference, which is why experience matters.
