5.0 372 Reviews Marong sits on the plains west of Bendigo, a small goldfields town that has grown steadily alongside new estates while keeping its rural character. The central Victorian climate is brutal at both ends of the year, with hot dry forty degree summer days and cold frosty winter mornings. Many Marong homes are on larger blocks, some off mains gas, which shapes the most practical heating, cooling and hot water choices. We bring central Victorian experience to every Marong install, designing for the real climate rather than a generic suburban brief.
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 typically the best whole of home answer for Marong family homes, particularly those on larger lots with sprawling single storey floor plates. We specify equipment that can hold capacity at both high and low ambient extremes, because Marong summer days and winter mornings genuinely test equipment. Zoning covers living, sleeping and any separate wing, which keeps running costs under control during the long heatwave weeks central Victoria is known for.

Split systems suit Marong cottages, rural worker accommodation and investment properties well. A quality inverter split delivers strong heating and cooling from a single indoor unit, with low running costs that make them easy to justify. For larger homes, supplementary split systems can solve problem rooms such as a hot west facing master or a converted studio. Every install includes tidy pipework runs and proper wall sealing so the system performs well from day one.

Many Marong homes are off mains gas, which makes heat pump hot water a particularly strong upgrade over electric or LPG. The ongoing savings are substantial, and Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates pull the upfront cost well below what most homeowners expect. We pick robust outdoor rated units because rural Marong conditions include dust, heat and wide temperature swings that softer models cannot handle gracefully over years of service.
Book a Marong site visit and we will design a system that fits the property, the climate and your family’s day to day routines. Marong work naturally involves a country mindset. We plan site access, livestock safety and dust exposure in our installs, and we build in reliability rather than chasing the cheapest components. Rural customers end up paying more when they buy cheap equipment that needs replacement within five years.

Yes. All electric solutions with reverse cycle and heat pump hot water are typically the most affordable and reliable path for off gas rural homes, and we design complete systems around that approach.
Properly specified systems handle Marong heatwaves well. The key is not to undersize equipment and to include zoning so you can concentrate cooling on the rooms in use without running the whole house.
Not necessarily. The main differences are travel time and sometimes placement around sheds and livestock. We scope these factors at the quote stage so the job runs smoothly on the day.
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.
