5.0 372 Reviews Manifold Heights rises on the western slopes of Geelong, mixing solid post war family homes with newer renovations and a steady supply of double brick classics. The suburb sits high enough that afternoon westerlies cut straight through older weatherboards, and summer sun bakes the north facing living rooms along Church Street and Shannon Avenue. That specific mix of terrain and housing stock drives how we approach climate and hot water upgrades for Manifold Heights households, because a generic Geelong proposal rarely matches what these homes actually need.
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.

Many Manifold Heights families live in extended three bedroom homes that have grown an extra living area or a rear addition. That floor plan suits a well zoned ducted reverse cycle system, with the original bedroom wing on one zone and the newer living space on another. We size equipment against the real heat load, including the generous glazing that often comes with rear extensions facing Barrabool Road. Ductwork is kept short where we can, which improves efficiency and helps the system reach temperature quickly on the worst northerly days.

Split systems are often the right call for the older single fronted homes and the many investment properties in the area. A quality inverter split in the main living area, paired with a smaller bedroom unit, usually covers a household’s comfort needs at an affordable price. We take care over pipework routing on older homes because the facades are often worth protecting. Quiet indoor units are the standard fit, since many Manifold Heights homes sit close to neighbours and the last thing anyone wants is a noisy head unit in the lounge.

Manifold Heights homes on gas hot water are increasingly feeling the squeeze of higher supply charges, and the change to heat pump is often simpler than people expect. We handle the full swap in a single visit, apply Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates directly to the invoice and position the outdoor unit where the compressor is not audible from living areas. For the older homes in the area, we also check the existing circuit and tempering valve, which occasionally need attention during a changeover. Tank size is chosen around household pattern rather than a default 270 litre for everyone.
Get in touch and we will design a system that suits your Manifold Heights home, the orientation it sits on and the way your household actually uses it. We live and work around Geelong and can usually be on site for a scope visit within a week.

Not always, but the system works best when the ceiling has reasonable insulation. We flag this during the quote so you can decide whether to add insulation alongside the install for a combined uplift in comfort.
Yes. We plan placement carefully on homes with narrow side setbacks and use brackets or slimmer units where space is tight, while keeping airflow and servicing access clear.
Often yes, using parts of the existing duct layout where suitable. We assess each home individually because duct sizing for gas and reverse cycle is not always the same, and the right upgrade depends on what is already there.
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.
