5.0 372 Reviews Armstrong Creek is one of the fastest growing areas south of Geelong, with modern estates running all the way to Mount Duneed and out toward the Surf Coast. Most homes here are recent builds, often with large open plan living, generous glazing and high performance frames, which changes the way air conditioning should be designed. We specialise in getting these modern designs working well, balancing capacity, running cost and solar compatibility so new homeowners can enjoy what they have paid for.
Free after sale support for 5 years on all manufacturer warranty claims & 7 years’ coverage on faults and labour on all air conditioners and heating systems.
With over ten years in the business, Too Hot To Handle has successfully installed more than 10,000 heating and cooling systems across Geelong.

Most Armstrong Creek builders provide a basic ducted option at build time, but the zone design and sizing are often generic. Where we are engaged early, we upgrade zone counts, locate outlets sensibly and specify a properly sized outdoor unit, which transforms day to day comfort. Retrofitting a better design after move in is also possible, and we regularly improve poorly performing builder systems without ripping the ceiling apart.

Even in a ducted home, a split system has its place. The home gym, the media room or the home office that runs long hours can all benefit from a dedicated split. Multi head split systems also suit Armstrong Creek townhouses and smaller lot homes where a full ducted design is not needed. We fit neat installations that respect the architectural finish of modern facades rather than bolting hardware on the front of the house.

Many Armstrong Creek homes come with solar already installed, which makes heat pump hot water a particularly strong match. Running the heat pump during solar generation hours effectively turns midday sunshine into evening showers at very low cost. We configure timers, handle rebates and help you pick tank capacity based on bedroom count and realistic usage, not a generic guess. The result is a reliable, cheap to run hot water system that complements your solar investment.
Talk to us about your Armstrong Creek home and we will design a system that performs well from day one and for many years after. For Armstrong Creek buyers still in the first year or two of a new build, we are happy to review a builder system and report honestly on what is working and what is not. You do not have to replace anything to have the conversation, and a quick review often prevents future problems.

It can be. We often find builder systems are undersized or badly zoned for actual living patterns. A review gives you a clear view of whether the existing system needs adjustment, extension or simply better commissioning.
Yes, we integrate heat pumps and air conditioners with common solar inverters and smart controllers. We set timers and, where supported, automatic load management so the systems run at the most economical time.
With proper servicing, quality air conditioning systems typically last twelve to fifteen years or more, and heat pump hot water systems similar. Annual servicing is the single biggest factor in hitting the upper end of that range.
Definitely. We supply energy-efficient ducted, split, and heat pump systems from top-rated brands. Our experts can help you choose a setup that reduces running costs and qualifies for Victorian energy efficiency rebates.
