HVAC Solutions for Attic Renovations

With the right renovation approach, an attic space can be transformed into a cozy bedroom, a productive office, or even a sports-themed man cave. But attic renovations also present unique challenges when it comes to comfort. Identifying the proper heating and cooling solution for your converted attic space is vital for year-round comfort. 

Be sure to consult with your Daikin Pro for a professional HVAC evaluation, which can help determine whether a supplemental unit, a system replacement, or a ductwork extension is the best option for your home’s new layout. 

Add a ductless mini-split.

Advanced ductless mini-split systems offer a range of advantages that make them an excellent choice for homeowners seeking efficient and flexible climate control solutions for an attic renovation.

Ductless mini-splits offer a variety of benefits for attic renovations, including:

No ductwork required

 

No ductwork required

Ideal for homes without existing ducts or for adding heating and cooling without extensive ductwork renovations.

Minimal installation disruption

A simplified installation option, such as the OTERRA 115V, helps avoid major modifications to your home’s structure.

Energy-efficient climate control

Independently control the attic’s temperature for personalized comfort. The Daikin ATMOSPHERA provides up to 27.4 SEER2 / 11.2 HSPF2 / 16.3 EER2 for high-efficiency cooling and heating operations, which can result in reduced operating costs compared to lower-efficiency systems.

Quiet operation

Daikin ductless solutions include indoor models that operate at sound levels as low as 19 decibels, making them the ideal choice for attics being converted into bedrooms, home offices, or reading nooks where peace and quiet are essential.

Flexible placement options

Choose from wall-mounted, floor-mounted, or ceiling cassette units to match your attic’s style while ensuring efficient performance.

Upgrade your central heating and cooling system

In many cases, an attic renovation is also the perfect opportunity to upgrade an inefficient HVAC system, helping you establish indoor comfort in your space while making your entire home energy efficient.

Why consider an HVAC upgrade with your attic renovation?

Avoid overloading your current system

Most HVAC systems are sized for your original square footage of living space. Adding to this square footage can lead to strain on the system.

Adequate indoor comfort

If your current system may be undersized, and it may fail to heat or cool your home adequately, especially on severely hot or cold days.

Energy efficiency

Modern whole-home Daikin systems with adaptive inverter technology, such as the Daikin FIT, are designed to optimize operation and energy efficiency.

Smart thermostat compatibility

Pairing a new Daikin system with the Daikin ONE+ smart thermostat offers you app-based control, energy usage tracking, and integration with smart home systems. Upgrading provides the opportunity to leverage app features such as geofencing, scheduling, and indoor air quality monitoring.

Maximize year-round usability

A properly sized HVAC system helps turn your attic into a true four-season room.

Professional Assessment

Consult with a Daikin Pro for a precise load calculation to determine the correct size for your mini‑split system. The Daikin Pro will also recommend the ideal installation location, the type of system best suited for your needs, highlight financing options (for qualified buyers), and inform you of any applicable tax credits* and incentives.

* This is not tax advice, and there are eligibility requirements that may affect a specific taxpayers’ ability to obtain the tax credit. Taxpayers are encouraged to seek advice from their own tax professional to determine the application of such credits to their specific situation.

Insulation

Proper insulation has a significant impact on the amount of heating or cooling energy—measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs)—needed to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature in a specific space. Well‑insulated attics may be able to use lower BTU ratings, while poorly insulated ones need considerably more power.

Climate

Hot climates demand high BTU ratings for cooling, while cold climates require more heating capacity. Work with a professional to understand the influence of solar gains through bay windows, skylights, or optimize your design with the addition of curtains that minimize the impact of weather conditions. Select the right system for your climate and location.

Heat Sources

Your Daikin Pro should account for additional heat sources for your new space. Your need for heating and cooling will be different, whether you intend to use the space for family movies (home theater equipment generates a lot of heat) or if you are transforming your attic into a yoga studio or craft room.
