5.0 394 Reviews Marshall sits on the southern edge of Grovedale, where newer subdivisions blend into established family homes and the rail line marks the boundary between quieter streets and the busier Barwon Heads Road corridor. New estates here are typically slab on ground, with generous open plan living and higher ceilings, while older pockets include classic brick veneer homes from the last wave of Geelong growth. We plan every Marshall install around the exact home we are working with, rather than a cookie cutter approach.
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.

Heating and Cooling Servicing
From $200
Newer Marshall homes built with three or four bedrooms and an open plan living hub suit a zoned ducted reverse cycle setup well. We size equipment against the real heat load including west facing glazing, which is common on the larger estate lots. Zones separate living from sleeping so you are not running the whole home overnight, and controllers are placed where they make sense rather than wherever was easiest for the previous installer. Ductwork joints are sealed properly, which makes a noticeable difference to both running cost and how quickly the home reaches comfortable temperatures.

Split systems handle a large share of Marshall retrofits, particularly in the older brick veneers that never had ducted heating or cooling installed. One quality unit in the main living area transforms winter comfort and covers the occasional summer heat day. Bedroom units are a popular add on for households with shift workers or small children who need consistent overnight temperatures. We install neatly, with pipe covers on external walls where they are visible, because we take the view that an air conditioning install should never make a home look worse.

A lot of Marshall homes were built with electric storage or entry level gas hot water, both of which cost more to run than a modern heat pump system. The savings are immediate once we make the change, and Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates cover a significant share of the upfront price. We size tanks around real household demand, which matters because Marshall lots often house growing families with unpredictable morning routines. We also position compressors thoughtfully so they are not audible from the main bedroom.

Not necessarily easier, but the roof space tends to be cleaner and more accessible, which helps. Older homes can still be perfectly straightforward with good scoping.
