Does anyone have experience heating a converted attic?

I have a 3 story duplex with central heat but the bedrooms on  the third floor (which is converted attic space) don't get adequate heat. One guy told me I needed a new furnace, another said I have to use window units. A third told me baseboard heaters won't do much to help but Mini splits are the answer (which also give A/C) but cost over $12k! I looked into PTAC units but the install cost is extensive for the labor. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated. The duplex is in Mt Washington. I want to do the right thing for the tenants without breaking the bank.
