Professional Ducted Air Conditioning Installation & Service in Ocean Grove Ducted Air Conditioning for Ocean Grove Homes
In the family homes around Grubb Road, Marcus Hill and the newer developments out toward Wallington Road, ducted reverse cycle is the clear choice for year round comfort. With summer evenings often still warm long after sunset, having a properly zoned system that keeps the bedrooms cool while stepping back on the living area makes for far better sleep. We specify coastal rated outdoor units and take particular care with refrigeration line insulation to avoid condensation issues in Ocean Grove’s humid summer air.

Energy-Efficient Split System Air Conditioners for Ocean Grove Homes Split System Air Conditioners in Ocean Grove
Split systems are a favourite in the original Ocean Grove beach streets, where ceiling space is often a tight squeeze and the owner does not want to disturb the character of the home. One well placed split system can cover a large living area, and quiet bedroom units are now so efficient that running one overnight barely moves the meter. We position indoor units thoughtfully so they do not blow directly onto the couch, and we protect external pipework from the weather so the install looks as good years later as the day it went in.

Fujitsu ducted system installed by the team at too hot to handle!
First spoke to Scott on the phone, wasn’t sure if we wanted to do a multi head split, or ducted.
Scott gave me a quote for both no dramas and went over both over the phone.
Locked in the job, and Matt attended the site that week for an inspection (we live in Warrnambool 2 hours away!) he explained the best option in regards to zoning in plain English and helped us make the right decision, the job was scheduled in for 2.5 weeks later.
Matt contacted me 2 days prior to install day just to confirm everything.
When the team were on site, they were professional, and when the job was completed the guys took me through everything and answered any questions that I had. Even asked where our Vaccum was to clean up!
Highly recommended these guys!
Thanks again we are super stocked!

Staff at 2H2H have been amazing. Our installation of the Reclaim Hot Water Service and Heat Pump required going through a bedroom window. Don and Kya were too good to be true and I think they were as relieved as I was that the system just squeezed through without having to remove the window! They were so professional in every way - notifying us they would be 5 mins late - so polite and respectful and shared their love of working for 2H2H saying they look forward to going to work every day and what a great boss and team work there. We are so happy that we have taken this step as we have always had instantaneous gas hws never electric. Although it’s only been installed 2 days ago we are so impressed with everything. I have no hesitation in recommending 2H2H.

Thorough professionals who do a great job and enjoy their work. Recently installing an iStore 290 for us in Werribee on the basis of a good quote, they answered every question clearly and were prepared to customise the service at no extra cost. The tradesmen phoned ahead as promised and were courteous, efficient and tidy. The iStore is neatly positioned, all external piping properly insulated and the unit was producing hot water within a couple of hours. When it needs servicing, we'll know who to call.

What an incredible day thanks to Matthew (Director) and Nate (plumber)!
Matthew for instant and effective action to secure a rebate that I was unaware of associated with the work they were doing for us. A big money saver!
Nate for a seamless install of a new Fujitsu split system air con for us. Such a polite, amiable, flexible, effective and responsive plumber who went well 'above and beyond' on the day. I received last minute info. from another supplier and as a result Nate and his very able colleague installed the condenser way up on the wall instead of on the ground. No grumbles, just 'no probs' action.
The Fujitsu, which is tested and recommended by Too Hot to Handle is a dream come true. Peace and quiet (and ripping cooling) from an air con at last!!!
Love 'Too Hot...'. It is just the right size to get expert attention, economies of scale for good pricing and powerful and positive on site action.
I plan to come back for seconds soon with a HWS install and probably further work at another location. Highly recommended for quality, price, effectiveness and an excellent result!
Happy Mike 🙂

Had a Reclaim heat pump hot water service installed today by Nate. Job was well done and the staff were excellent and informative. The company has been very responsive in our experience ( we also had a ducted Fujitsu heat pump heating/cooling system installed earlier this year). Would highly recommend Too Hot To Handle to everyone.

The guys at Too Hot To Handle did a brilliant job servicing our heating and evap cooling. When we brought the property the cooling and heating had never been serviced and had a funky smell. They were out to our place within the week and serviced our heating and replaced our pads on the cooling. Everybody from reception to the technician who came were super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend these guys 😊

The incredible team at Too Hot To Handle recently installed a new splitty for us. Every single touch point in dealing with this business was excellent, which says a lot. From our initial discussions and planning with Scott, to all our dealings with Jemma and then the great team that did our install — we could not be happier. I can see why there are so many positive reviews. It felt like that caring and old fashioned service you rarely see these days. Thanks, team! We really appreciate your help!

Having had a reclaim hot water system and a Mitsubishi reverse cycle air conditioner installed by 2H2H I can vouch for this business as one which is easy to deal with, reliable and organised, quality installers and committed to service and value. As a regional customer, I was delighted to welcome Kenny to my home as a dual qualified plumber & electrician with extensive product knowledge who is polite and respectful and committed to customer satisfaction. A great company with a supportive and connected staff culture.

Yes To Hot to Handle’s Nat and Charles did a great job installing our iStore heat pump unit. Extremely neat finish and both very easy to work with. I want you to update the staff photo on your website too! They need to be included as well. I have tried 3 different companies over the last couple of years and for one reason or other the replacement of the hotwater unit didn’t happen, I got in touch with these guys as our hotwater unit was leaking, so it was an emergency job. Solar Victoria grant applied for and it has all been completed in a couple of days. We couldn’t be happier, oh they had some great music playing while working too!👍🏻

Excellent service from beginning to end. Scott got back to me immediately with a quote which was $500 cheaper than another business.
They moved my appointment to a much earlier than original date which was wonderful.
Mat and his young apprentice arrived with smiles on their faces. They did a brilliant job which was challenging.
Mat was a master at teaching his apprentice. It reminded me of "Karate Kid". I loved hearing Mat telling his apprentice such positive things to help put him at ease and stay focused.
I think kindness goes a long way to helping young people learn and end up loving the job they do. Well done Mat.
I am very happy with the whole experience. Definitely love my new aircon which will change my life when the heat starts. As I usually just want to runaway to Antarctica...
Thankyou "Too Hot To Handle" for improving my well-being.
😁❤️🖖

These guys deliver good old fashioned service. A real rarity these days. I had an annoying and difficult job for these guys to accomplish and they lived up to their reviews. Communication was great and nothing was too hard for them. Particular thanks to Scott for going above and beyond. Certainly recommend Too Hot to Handle. Thanks again.

I moved a (nearly) new split system from one property to another. Truly an efficient and pleasant experience. The staff are fabulous: knowledgeable and courteous. A quick quote, price was right, turned up at the agreed time, particular about the quality of installation, thorough clean up and all working beautifully. Great job guys. Very happy with the service. Happy to encourage anyone looking for a fair price and quality service to the team at “Too Hot Too Handle”

From a quote 6 months old for an air conditioner replacement Too Hot To Handle sent me, I was able to ask and be given the same product for the same price, I was amazed and ecstatic about it. The installation was gradual and flawless. Jim with his apprentice just did a fantastic job and Jim’s after service was just excellent.
I would recommend Too Hot To Handle any time!

Everyone we dealt with at Too hot to handle were great. Scott and Russell who helped us work out which products would work best for us, the admin team who managed the complex rebates and kept us informed, to the installation crew who worked tirelessly to ensure our install was all completed all in the one day. I think we had half the staff team here at one stage. Thank you for making a big job so easy. We can’t recommend Too hot to handle highly enough.

Just had a new split system installed in our bedroom.
From the initial call with Scott I could tell they would be a class act straight away. He was honest & up front about what would be the most cost-effective & efficient option for us, rather than pushing us to settle on a bigger, overpowered unit just to maximise rebate opportunities.
The administration team were very quick to call and arrange a time for the install. Very professional.
The installer, Pete, turned up ahead of time and was very friendly. He and his colleague Jack did an awesome job. Super tidy install and left absolutely no trace of mess. The electrician Jack was also in & out quickly with no mess.
Overall a very very good experience and I highly recommend Too Hot To Handle for anyone on the fence about upgrading their home.

We had such a great experience with Too Hot to Handle Heating & Cooling! We had a ducted reverse cycle system installed and got them for great value with the rebate (this includes them decommissioning and removing your existing gas heater). The service was exceptional from the very beginning. Scott provided us with plenty of information which helped us make an effective decision. The team were great with communication, very friendly and checked in with us before starting the job to make sure we were on the same page. They worked efficiently and got the job done in half a day! They were also neat and tidy. We are very happy with the results and would highly recommend this business to anyone looking to purchase/upgrade/service your heating and cooling needs!

A massive day to install 5 split systems in a 2 story house. Engineers are all very professional! Supposed to take 2 days but the team took 6 hours to finish the job smoothly! Electrical work is amazing too. Really glad to see an A team for the job, well done!!! Definitely will not hesitate to recommend to others.

Scott and guys removed an old split system and installed two new split systems for us. All workers were polite and professional throughout the day (Too Hot To Handle and DLK Electrical Solutions). Very happy with systems and rebates available. Felt very comfortable with these tradies in our home. No hesitation to recommend this business and their workers. Cheers and thanks. Janine

Matt and team installed our new electric hot water service after our gas one gave up the ghost. He pulled a lot of strings to get one very quickly, so we were only without hot water for a day and a half. He ensured we also got all the government rebates. After sales service has been excellent.

I booked the job with Matt and Scott 3 weeks ago for a full duct refit for our ducted heating. They are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We were delighted with the price and the workmanship on the day. The guys arrived early, got the job done in a professional manor and went above and beyond. We will definitely use them again and we highly recommend them. Thanks Matt, Scott and the team.

Can't recommend these guys enough! They responded to my inquiry immediately, took initiative to get to my regional property and quote within a week and install was only a few days later. They did an amazing job, left the place spotless and the unit looks great. They also install customer supplied split system units which is surprisingly difficult to come across. 10/10

For homes within a kilometre or so of the dunes, absolutely. The improved corrosion resistance noticeably extends the working life of outdoor units, and the cost difference is modest.
Yes. We set a daytime timer so the heat pump heats during solar generation hours, which uses your own power rather than buying from the grid. It is one of the easiest ways to get more value out of a solar system.
Regularly. We plan pipework routes through internal cavities or external chases that complement the architecture, and we work with builders for newly finished homes to avoid marking fresh paint.
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.
