5.0 372 Reviews Perched on the cliffs above Port Phillip Bay, Clifton Springs enjoys some of the best views on the Bellarine, along with wind exposure that older homes often struggle to keep up with. Housing here ranges from compact retirement villas to elevated family homes with sweeping bay outlooks, and each style has its own quirks when it comes to heating and cooling. Our team designs systems that account for the extra glazing, the slope of the land and the way afternoon sun bakes west-facing rooms while easterly breezes chill the opposite side of the house.
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.

Elevated Clifton Springs homes often have generous living areas that open onto decks taking in the bay. A zoned ducted system is perfect for this layout because you can run a single zone during the day and open the whole house up in the evening without wasting energy. We pay close attention to the amount of sun-facing glass when we calculate heat loads, because a system that is undersized for a summer afternoon will simply never catch up. Getting the design right is the difference between a home that feels balanced and one that always feels slightly off.

Many of the smaller villas and townhouses around the golf course and Sproat Street suit split systems well. They are efficient, quiet in the bedroom, and they do not require structural changes that body corporates tend to resist. For families in the newer estates toward Drysdale Road, adding a second or third split system to cover a study or a rumpus room is often more practical than expanding a ducted system. We will talk through both options and recommend whatever gives you the best long term value, not just the bigger invoice.

Older gas hot water systems in Clifton Springs are often outside on the southern side of the house, where the cold winter wind comes straight off the bay. Swapping to a heat pump hot water system removes that gas bill entirely and runs quietly in the same footprint. For retirees and empty nesters, the lower ongoing costs are usually the main drawcard, while larger households appreciate the reliability and the ability to time the system to run when solar is producing. We handle the paperwork for any rebates so you just see the reduced invoice.

It does. Large glazed areas significantly increase the cooling load in the afternoon. We factor orientation into every quote and size equipment so the system stays comfortable without short cycling.
Yes, Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates typically apply to eligible heat pump hot water installations, and we apply them directly to your quote so the saving is up front.
Sometimes, but large open plan spaces generally perform better with a correctly sized multi split or a small ducted system. We size to the actual room volume rather than a rule of thumb.
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.
