5.0 372 Reviews Geelong West Air Conditioning and Hot Water Specialists
Geelong West is all character cottages, Edwardian weatherboards and Californian bungalows, tightly packed on narrow blocks around Pakington Street. Charming to live in, but notoriously hard to heat and cool without thoughtful design. Many homes were built before insulation was common, which means both the summer heat and winter cold move through the walls and ceiling freely. We design climate systems specifically for the unique demands of Geelong West housing stock.

Professional Ducted Air Conditioning Installation & Service in Geelong West Ducted Air Conditioning in Geelong West
Retrofitting ducted into a Geelong West weatherboard is not always straightforward, but it is often possible with careful planning. We look for unused roof space, stairwells that can hide a riser, and ceiling cavities that can accept slim line flexible duct. In extended cottages where the original roof structure meets a modern rear addition, we sometimes split the system between a ducted section at the rear and a dedicated high wall in the front bedrooms, which avoids disrupting the decorative ceilings many owners want to preserve.

Energy-Efficient Split System Air Conditioners for Geelong West Homes Split System Air Conditioners in Geelong West
A well placed split system is often the most practical solution for a Geelong West terrace or bungalow. Because internal walls are often load bearing and ceiling space is limited, split systems let us bring real comfort without major structural work. We position indoor heads for maximum airflow coverage, run neat external conduits down the side rather than across the front, and make sure the outdoor unit sits where it will not annoy the neighbour on the other side of a narrow fence line. That attention to detail matters on tight Geelong West blocks.

Energy efficient hot water systems in Geelong West Heat Pump Hot Water for Geelong West Homes
Many Geelong West homes still have older gas storage tanks that are costly to run and often poorly sited. A heat pump hot water system is a sensible, rebate eligible upgrade that removes the gas bill entirely. We take care with siting because Geelong West yards are often small, and a loud unit just outside a bedroom window is not acceptable. By choosing quiet models and placing them sensibly, we deliver the efficiency gains without any noise complaints from inside the home or next door.

First spoke to Scott on the phone, wasn’t sure if we wanted to do a multi head split, or ducted.
Scott gave me a quote for both no dramas and went over both over the phone.
Locked in the job, and Matt attended the site that week for an inspection (we live in Warrnambool 2 hours away!) he explained the best option in regards to zoning in plain English and helped us make the right decision, the job was scheduled in for 2.5 weeks later.
Matt contacted me 2 days prior to install day just to confirm everything.
When the team were on site, they were professional, and when the job was completed the guys took me through everything and answered any questions that I had. Even asked where our Vaccum was to clean up!
Highly recommended these guys!
Thanks again we are super stocked!
Matthew for instant and effective action to secure a rebate that I was unaware of associated with the work they were doing for us. A big money saver!
Nate for a seamless install of a new Fujitsu split system air con for us. Such a polite, amiable, flexible, effective and responsive plumber who went well 'above and beyond' on the day. I received last minute info. from another supplier and as a result Nate and his very able colleague installed the condenser way up on the wall instead of on the ground. No grumbles, just 'no probs' action.
The Fujitsu, which is tested and recommended by Too Hot to Handle is a dream come true. Peace and quiet (and ripping cooling) from an air con at last!!!
Love 'Too Hot...'. It is just the right size to get expert attention, economies of scale for good pricing and powerful and positive on site action.
I plan to come back for seconds soon with a HWS install and probably further work at another location. Highly recommended for quality, price, effectiveness and an excellent result!
Happy Mike 🙂
Competitive Quote when I was searching to install the Reclaim Units Hot Water System. Russel was able to guide me through the differences between the options. Great communication before, during and after installation date.
The team keep me updated during the process of what is happening and answered all of our questions. Adam make sure we understand how the unit work and safety. Amazing. Thanks Adam and his team mate.
Thank you team for your support and amazing work, we can now have hot showers after a while 😆
Too Hot To Handke: Too Good To Be True!!
A pleasure ti work with. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They moved my appointment to a much earlier than original date which was wonderful.
Mat and his young apprentice arrived with smiles on their faces. They did a brilliant job which was challenging.
Mat was a master at teaching his apprentice. It reminded me of "Karate Kid". I loved hearing Mat telling his apprentice such positive things to help put him at ease and stay focused.
I think kindness goes a long way to helping young people learn and end up loving the job they do. Well done Mat.
I am very happy with the whole experience. Definitely love my new aircon which will change my life when the heat starts. As I usually just want to runaway to Antarctica...
Thankyou "Too Hot To Handle" for improving my well-being.
😁❤️🖖
The team at Too Hot To Handle provided excellent customer service while helping me find the best solution to cool and heat my home office. They took the time to understand my needs and offered clear, practical advice. The installers and electricians were friendly, punctual, and informative - everything ran smoothly and professionally. Great job, guys! Highly recommend.
I would recommend Too Hot To Handle any time!
Really happy with the price. Top quality product and installation.
Couldn't be happier.
From the initial call with Scott I could tell they would be a class act straight away. He was honest & up front about what would be the most cost-effective & efficient option for us, rather than pushing us to settle on a bigger, overpowered unit just to maximise rebate opportunities.
The administration team were very quick to call and arrange a time for the install. Very professional.
The installer, Pete, turned up ahead of time and was very friendly. He and his colleague Jack did an awesome job. Super tidy install and left absolutely no trace of mess. The electrician Jack was also in & out quickly with no mess.
Overall a very very good experience and I highly recommend Too Hot To Handle for anyone on the fence about upgrading their home.

Frequently Asked Questions – Air Conditioning & Hot Water in Geelong West
Often yes, with careful planning around ceiling space and the original fabric. We walk the property, check the roof cavity and explain exactly what is realistic before quoting, so you are never sold a system that will cause compromises.
Modern heat pumps have a compact footprint, and many models use split configurations where only the small evaporator sits outdoors. We work within what the block allows.
Insulation upgrades make a significant difference in older homes and mean you can size equipment smaller, which lowers both purchase price and running costs. We happily coordinate with insulation installers if you want to do both.
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.
