Ductless mini-splits in Osseo cost about $4,200–$12,500 installed, single-zone to multi-zone, with a written flat-rate quote. They fit postwar houses getting central air for the first time, rentals, and storefront space.
Many Osseo houses were built before central air was common, so cooling was added later or never. A mini-split can cool a postwar house without ductwork: one head for the main floor and another for the bedrooms keeps the cost below a full duct retrofit in many cases. The furnace keeps heating, and the mini-split carries the summer. It can also help in duplexes and townhomes, where each unit can have its own system and its own thermostat.
Light-commercial work is part of Osseo too. The storefronts along Central Avenue and the apartment buildings in town can use mini-splits for a back office, a stockroom or a single unit. We quote those the same way as a house: a written flat-rate price after we see the space.

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 getting central air for the first time usually need one head for the main floor and one for the bedrooms, while duplexes and townhomes get one each. Compare central AC vs ductless costs.
Xcel handles central AC and heat pump rebates; ask whether the heat pump rebate needs a registered contractor before you buy. Programs change every year.

Yes. One or two heads can cool the main living spaces and bedrooms without cutting into walls for ducts. The line set is small and the outdoor unit is compact. The furnace stays as it is. We tell you the room-by-room cost and whether a conventional central AC would cost less for your house.
Yes, we do light-commercial work, including mini-splits for offices, retail and multifamily buildings. A back room, stockroom or single suite can have its own head without extending the building's ducts. We look at the space, the electrical service and where the outdoor unit can go, then give a written flat-rate quote.
