transform your garage
From parking spot to comfort spot
Make your garage a cozy part of your home with a Daikin ductless system.
Does your family need more space? Want to build a home gym or yoga studio? A garage conversion can be a cost-effective way to unlock new indoor square footage in your home. Here’s what you need to know.
Garage Conversion
One of the biggest challenges of a garage conversion is climate control. Garages are not always insulated, and they aren’t usually connected to your home’s HVAC system. This means temperatures can swing wildly from summer to winter, and the garage can become quite uncomfortable.

Indoor comfort for your garage
Add climate control
A heating and cooling system is essential for fully enjoying your garage space in hot summers and cold winters. Hot areas need stronger cooling power (higher BTUs), while colder regions require more heating capacity. Choose a system that's built for your local weather—and your comfort.
Option 1: Extend your home’s ductwork
If your home has a central HVAC system, consider connecting your home’s ductwork to your converted garage. A nearby Daikin Pro can discuss some of the challenges:
- Installation costs may exceed budgets if major modifications to walls and ceilings are required
- If garage doesn't have attic space above, ductwork may have to run through interior spaces
- Installation can be disruptive, requiring workers to access multiple areas of your home over several days
- Cooling or heating additional square footage can strain the capacity of your existing HVAC system, and you may not be able to maintain indoor temperature to your desired conditions
Option 2: Add a ductless mini-split
Ductless systems are designed to provide efficient heating and cooling without the need for ductwork, making them great for non-ducted spaces like garages.
- Mini-split systems, especially models with inverter compressors, have great efficiency
- Professional installation is quick, often completed in a single day
- Flexible placement allows for critical airflow and discreet wall mounting

It is highly recommended to 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 location of the indoor and outdoor unit, the type of system required, and whether a financing option is available, as well as tax credits and incentives.* Those are all critical steps to make the space work for your needs and our budget.
