5.0 372 Reviews Tucked into the foothills of the Otways, Deans Marsh has a climate all its own. The winter mornings bring heavy frost, spring and autumn deliver cold damp days that surprise anyone used to coastal conditions, and summers can still throw bushfire season heat at the valley. Homes are often on acreage, many without mains gas, and that shapes the most sensible heating, cooling and hot water choices. We work across the Surf Coast hinterland regularly and build systems that suit the realities of rural living.
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.

Ducted reverse cycle is the most efficient whole of home solution for larger Deans Marsh properties, particularly those off mains gas. We lean toward models with strong heating output at low ambient temperatures because a frosty winter morning here can sit around zero. Zoning is essential because heating a large country home in full all day is wasteful and expensive. With proper design, a ducted system can comfortably heat and cool a sprawling single storey on a modest budget.

Many Deans Marsh homes have a wood heater that handles winter evenings well, but the mornings and shoulder seasons still need help. A split system in the main living area covers those gaps efficiently and adds much needed summer cooling on heatwave days. For studios, barns and offices out the back, individual split systems let you heat or cool only the space you are using rather than burning fuel in the main house.

Without mains gas, many Deans Marsh households have been stuck with electric tanks or LPG, both of which are expensive to run. A heat pump hot water system is a genuinely transformative upgrade, delivering abundant hot water at a quarter of the electric running cost. We choose units with robust outdoor enclosures because the rural environment brings dust, insects and wider temperature swings than suburban settings. Rebates help with the upfront cost, and the daily savings pile up over the years.
Call us to arrange a site visit and we will put together a practical, detailed quote for your Deans Marsh home. Deans Marsh installs benefit from our rural experience, where we plan for things that do not come up in suburban homes, including livestock access, water tank plumbing interactions and the reality that getting a technician back out takes planning. We set everything up to run well with minimal maintenance.

Yes, provided the right unit is chosen. We specify models rated for low ambient operation, and we position them so morning frost clears quickly. Performance is still strong at the cold end of the year.
We can, though it requires planning around battery capacity and solar generation. We design systems with efficiency in mind so daily energy use fits within what the off grid setup can supply.
We provide local after sales support and warranty service, with straightforward phone access to a real person. We do not disappear after the install, which is especially important in rural areas where tradie follow up can be patchy.
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.
