Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Minnesota: what's different
Ductless Mini-Split Installation across Minnesota depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 6–7). Only cold-climate rated heat pumps make sense here, usually with backup heat. Outdoor units should be mounted above snow level with clear drainage for defrost water.
Minnesota has some of the coldest winters in the lower 48 states, with long periods below zero, and warm, humid summers. Heating reliability is a safety issue for most of the year.
Minnesota requirements vary; gas and some mechanical work requires state or local licensing, and permits are issued locally. Check with your city building department. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for ductless Mini-Split Installation.
Xcel Energy serves much of the state, with Minnesota Power, Otter Tail Power and cooperatives elsewhere. CenterPoint Energy and Xcel supply natural gas.
