Ductless mini-split installation in Deephaven costs $4,200–$12,500 with a written flat-rate quote, for older lake houses with boilers. They suit older lake houses with boilers or heat-only ducts, where cooling arrived as an afterthought.
Deephaven's older lake houses have patchwork heating: a boiler in one wing, ducts in another, electric heat in an addition. Where a house has hot-water heat, there are no ducts to carry cooling, and ductless heads are the clean way to cool the main rooms without opening plaster. Houses from the 1930s to 1950s that did get central air often have small returns and a coil squeezed onto an older furnace, which limits both comfort and dehumidification.
Lake humidity is the summer issue. Lower levels close to the water stay damp, and a mini-split cools and pulls moisture from the room, so it can handle a lower-level lounge or a boat room that the main AC cannot. On the lake side, rooms with the most glass run cooler in winter and hotter in summer, and a head there evens the house out. Xcel's rebates take in mini-splits, so ask whether a registered contractor is required.

Our $4,200–$12,500 installed price comes as a written flat-rate quote, with a 2-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer's parts warranty. Houses with plaster walls and finished rooms take longer to route line sets, and each added head on a multi-zone outdoor unit raises the total. Compare central AC vs ductless costs.
Xcel's rebates take in central AC, heat pumps and mini-splits, with heat pump rebates requiring a Trade Partner Network installer, so check before you buy. Programs change every year.

Yes. Each head is independent of the boiler and the radiators, so you keep the quiet hot-water heat and add cooling to the rooms that need it. We size each head to its room, place the outdoor unit with the lot and the neighbors in mind, and route the line sets so they stay out of sight where possible.
It helps. A mini-split removes moisture as it cools, so a head in a damp lower level reduces humidity while keeping the room comfortable. For a basement that stays damp all year, a dedicated dehumidifier may do more. We can recommend which, depending on how the space is used.
