5.0 378 Reviews Maddingley sits on the southern edge of Bacchus Marsh, an expanding residential suburb with new estates, established family homes and rural fringe blocks. The climate matches the broader Bacchus Marsh valley, with hot dry summer extremes, cold frosty winters and valley effect temperatures that can surprise people used to Melbourne conditions. The mix of new builds and older stock means no single approach fits every home, so we design each climate and hot water install around the specific 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.

Zoned ducted reverse cycle is the default for the new Maddingley estate homes with three or four bedrooms and open plan living. We size equipment to handle both summer peak and winter cold, because both extremes are real in this valley. Zones separate living from sleeping, and ductwork is sealed and insulated well so performance stays strong across the life of the system. For older Maddingley homes that have grown through additions, we plan the duct layout around existing constraints rather than forcing a one size fits all approach.

Split systems handle the smaller Maddingley homes well, particularly for households upgrading from older wall furnaces or electric element heaters. A quality inverter split transforms year round comfort for a modest outlay, and secondary units are a popular add on for bedrooms. Installation is neat, with proper wall sealing and careful pipe routing so the facade is not compromised, and we commission every system so it delivers the efficiency it is rated for.

Maddingley homes on electric storage or older gas systems benefit from a heat pump upgrade, both in running costs and in reliability. We apply rebates directly to the quote, size tanks for real household demand and pick units rated for low ambient performance so winter mornings do not degrade efficiency. Placement is planned carefully in compact estate backyards where the outdoor unit needs to sit sensibly relative to neighbours and outdoor living spaces.

Not usually. We plan placement carefully to suit the yard layout, neighbour proximity and optimal airflow for the equipment.
We primarily install premium brands because they deliver the longevity and performance the Malvern market expects. Budget brands are available on request but we are honest about the trade offs.
Yes. Many households start with a split system, add a heat pump later, and eventually move to ducted as budget allows. We plan that sequencing with you.
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.
