5.0 378 Reviews Curlewis has quickly become one of the Bellarine’s most active growth pockets, with golf course estates and new family subdivisions springing up between Drysdale and Clifton Springs. Most homes here are recent builds with generous open plan living, large glazing and north facing living rooms, which makes thoughtful climate design essential rather than a nice to have. We know how the Bellarine breezes and afternoon sun work on these properties, and we size ducted systems, split systems and heat pump hot water to suit.
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.

Heating and Cooling Servicing
From $200
If you are building or recently moved into a Curlewis estate home, a zoned ducted reverse cycle system is usually the smart long term call. With living, kids’ wing and master zones, you can run the areas you are using and leave the rest untouched, which is exactly how these homes are meant to work. We plan outlet positions with the interior designer where possible so grilles disappear into ceilings and bulkheads rather than sitting awkwardly over the couch. The small amount of forward planning makes a noticeable difference to the finished result.

Split systems come into their own for Curlewis homes that already have ducted heating or cooling but need a boost in a specific room such as a west-facing media room, a home office that runs long hours, or a studio apartment over the garage. Adding a single split system is a cost effective way to manage a problem zone without reworking the whole system. We use brands with strong local warranty support so any future servicing stays local rather than disappearing into a capital city queue.

Heat pump hot water is a natural fit for Curlewis because so many homes already have solar on the roof. A heat pump that runs during the day uses your free solar generation, which turns daytime sun into evening showers at very little cost. We help you select the right tank size for a growing family, install it neatly on a concrete pad, and configure the timer so it plays nicely with your solar inverter. Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates significantly reduce the upfront spend.
Get in touch and we will help you design a Curlewis system that runs quietly, costs less to operate and lasts beyond the warranty.

Yes, pairing is ideal. Running the heat pump during solar production hours converts your own generation into hot water and minimises the draw from the grid, which is one of the fastest ways to lift the return on a solar system.
Some builders rough in ductwork and some do not. We can inspect your roof space and tell you quickly whether the pre-install is suitable or whether a fresh design makes more sense.
Winter mornings on the Bellarine are colder than many people expect, and gas heating costs have climbed significantly. A well sized reverse cycle system usually delivers lower running costs and more even comfort than ducted gas.
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.
