Is an air conditioning system necessary for the attic with a roof pitch of 35 degrees facing south, featuring two roof windows and a dormer on the south side? The rooms on the south side, arranged from west to east, are an office, a children's room, and a bedroom.
Opinions vary widely on this. A heat pump with cooling function and a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery will be installed.
At the moment, the plan is to at least equip the south-facing rooms in the attic and possibly also the ground floor (living/dining area) with air conditioning.

Ah, okay! So I’m going to wait for the quote first, and then we can still decide whether to go through the unused chimney shaft in the master bedroom. There are several cables running through it now, but they shouldn’t cause any issues, and it actually gets you closer to the planned entrance for the wastewater system.
What maintenance will ultimately be necessary remains to be seen. The refrigeration technician mentioned both cleaning and maintenance. But I see it simply this way: a car also needs regular maintenance.
Thank you very much for the feedback. By the way, you seem to be very satisfied with Daikin, right? I also have a very good feeling about the HVAC technician from yesterday, which is supported by the reviews (it’s a local company).

It’s always funny. Homebuilders with heat pumps almost always claim they are practically maintenance-free and that you can do everything yourself if at all You are mistaken there. Heat pumps and split systems are completely different technologies.
One provides heating (but can also provide cooling), while the other provides cooling (but can also provide heating).

A problem described to me by another provider (who would also install Daikin) was that the Comfora system can sometimes respond slowly. There’s actually no need for a fast response. Once the desired temperature is exceeded (preferably right at that moment), you turn the units on. When the heatwave is over, you turn them off. You don’t need reaction times of a few seconds.
On the contrary, systems that constantly adjust fan speed just because the temperature changes by 0.2 degrees can be quite annoying.
Regarding maintenance: you can clean the outdoor units yourself. That’s basically all there is to it. As for regularly disinfecting the indoor units, I would doubt that’s necessary in most locations (maybe not so good if they’re right in the middle of the kitchen). If they run continuously without getting wet multiple times a day and then drying, nothing will develop. Just vacuum the dust filter occasionally, and that’s it. After four summers here, I still haven’t seen any dirt, residue, or odor.
Ah, okay, sorry, I just realized something. You shouldn’t be moderating the forum while posting and at the same time reprogramming roller shutters and lights.

Yes, Daikin is definitely one of the top manufacturers when it comes to heat pumps or specifically air conditioning units. You can’t go wrong with them. The price is correspondingly higher, but you really get a “decent” system, and every service technician is familiar with it.
I only rely on Daikin devices now because spare parts are available, and ultimately the units can be controlled through various channels and integrated into existing systems, not just with the usual infrared remote control.
