5.0 372 Reviews Sebastopol is one of Ballarat’s older southern suburbs, with streets of established brick veneer and weatherboard homes interspersed with newer infill and cottages. The climate is Ballarat through and through, with cold frosty mornings, long damp winters and the occasional blistering summer day. Many Sebastopol homes have older gas or electric heating that struggles on the coldest days, and we specialise in upgrading them to efficient reverse cycle and heat pump hot water that really delivers.
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.

For larger Sebastopol family homes, a zoned ducted reverse cycle system typically delivers the best overall comfort and running cost outcome. We lean on cold climate rated equipment that is designed to hold capacity through Ballarat winters, and we insulate ductwork thoroughly because a poorly insulated system simply wastes heat into the roof space. Proper commissioning ensures airflow is balanced and every zone runs as intended from day one. For homes with older gas ducting already in place, we assess whether the existing ductwork is suitable for reverse cycle use or whether selective replacement makes sense, which often saves a meaningful portion of the install cost.

Split systems suit smaller Sebastopol homes and are a cost effective alternative to extending an older ducted system. A well placed split can transform comfort in a living area, and a matched bedroom unit handles sleeping comfort in the coldest months. For investment properties, we fit reliable units with easy maintenance access, which keeps property managers happy and tenants warm. We always pressure test refrigerant lines during commissioning, because the cheapest imported units often skip this step and end up leaking refrigerant within a few seasons. That simple attention to basics is what keeps our Sebastopol installs running year after year.

Heat pump hot water is the obvious successor to tired old gas and electric tanks in Sebastopol. We choose models with strong cold weather performance because not all heat pumps are equal on a frosty morning, and we apply Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates directly to your quote. Installation is a single visit, and the new system is noticeably quieter and cheaper to run than the unit it replaces. For households planning to add solar panels in the near future, we can wire and configure the heat pump with a daytime timer now so it is ready to pair with the solar system as soon as it is switched on.
