When summer heat hits Minnesota, a reliable cooling system keeps your home or business comfortable. But should you choose central air conditioning or a ductless mini-split system? At Magnuson Sheet Metal, we install both, and we’re here to help you decide which option is best for your space.

Central Air Conditioning

Central air systems are a popular choice for whole-home cooling, especially if you already have ductwork in place. Benefits include:

• Consistent, even cooling throughout your home
• Seamless integration with your heating system
• Great for larger spaces

However, central systems may require ductwork upgrades or replacements if your ducts are older or inefficient.

Ductless Mini-Split Systems

Ductless mini-splits, like the Fujitsu systems we install, are versatile and efficient. They’re ideal for:

• Homes without existing ductwork
• Additions, garages, or workshops
• Families who want zoned comfort and lower energy bills

Mini-splits are quick to install, quiet to run, and offer individual temperature control for different areas of your home.

Which One Is Right for You?

If you’re building new or want whole-home cooling, central air is often the best choice. If you’re renovating, adding onto your home, or simply want more control, ductless may be the perfect solution.
