5.0 392 Reviews Melton is one of the fastest growing communities in Victoria, a large regional centre west of Melbourne with a dense mix of new estate housing, established older suburbs and rural fringe blocks. The climate is genuine inland western Victorian, with hot dry summer stretches that push into the forties, cold frosty winters and the relentless westerlies that define the basalt plains. Climate and hot water upgrades are among the most impactful investments a Melton household can make, and the variety of housing stock means approach needs to be tailored home by home.
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 standard for new Melton estate homes, and we size each system carefully against actual heat load. Summer peak demand drives a lot of the design because Melton regularly hits forty degrees on multiple days each summer. Zones separate the main living area from bedrooms and allow independent operation, which meaningfully controls running costs on long heatwave weeks. Ductwork sealing and insulation are priorities because gaps in joints leak expensive conditioned air into the roof space.

Split systems are a common upgrade across older Melton homes, as well as a supplementary solution for specific rooms in newer houses. A quality inverter split in the main living area and a smaller bedroom unit often cover a household’s core comfort needs at an approachable price. We install neatly, handle pipe routing discreetly and commission each system so it delivers the efficiency it is rated for. Cold weather heating performance matters because winter here is genuine.

Melton homes on electric storage or older gas systems benefit significantly from a heat pump upgrade. Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates reduce the upfront cost meaningfully, running cost savings show up on the first bill and a quality unit lasts many years in Melton conditions. We pick models with verified low ambient performance because cold winter mornings test equipment, and we size tanks around real peak household demand. For homes with solar, timing the heat pump for peak generation gives strong payback.
