5.0 372 Reviews Hoppers Crossing is a sprawling established suburb in Melbourne’s west, with large family homes on sensible blocks and plenty of retail and infrastructure close by. The climate is defined by hot dry summers, cold frosty winters and a fairly constant wind sweeping across the basalt plains. Many Hoppers Crossing homes still rely on the ducted gas heating that came with them, which is increasingly expensive to run. We specialise in converting these homes to efficient reverse cycle and heat pump hot water solutions that genuinely cut bills.
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 Hoppers Crossing family homes are excellent candidates for ducted reverse cycle. We can often reuse the existing ductwork layout with upgraded insulation and proper commissioning, which saves time and mess. Where a full redesign is needed, we plan zones around bedrooms, living and any home office or teenage retreat. A well zoned ducted system removes the need for the gas heater entirely and provides summer cooling from the same equipment, which is where the savings compound.

Split systems are a quick win for Hoppers Crossing homes that need faster comfort relief or where a full ducted upgrade is not yet in the budget. A single quality inverter split can cool a living area through a forty-degree January afternoon at modest running cost. Second units in the master bedroom cover the hottest summer nights. For rental properties in the area, we provide no-fuss installs with paperwork ready for any property manager’s record-keeping.

Gas hot water has been the Hoppers Crossing default for decades, but modern heat pumps have changed the math. With Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates and lower running costs, a heat pump is now often the cheapest system to buy and run. We remove the old unit, install the heat pump in the same or similar location, handle plumbing and electrical, and submit rebate paperwork so the reduction appears on the invoice itself rather than as a later claim.

If your gas heater is more than fifteen years old or needs a major repair, replacement with reverse cycle is often the better value choice. We explain the numbers clearly during the quote.
Often yes, provided it is in good condition and appropriately sized. We inspect the ductwork and confirm whether it is suitable or whether partial replacement makes sense.
It depends on household size and current energy rates, but most four person Hoppers Crossing homes save several hundred dollars per year. When paired with solar the savings can be greater again.
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.
