5.0 378 Reviews Strathtulloh is one of the newest Melton growth corridor suburbs, full of brand new estate homes, young families and a steady rhythm of construction that continues to reshape the neighbourhood. The climate is classic western basalt plains, with hot dry summers that regularly exceed forty degrees, cold frosty winters and the near constant westerly winds. New homes here are almost all slab on ground with open plan living and generous glazing, which shapes how we design climate and hot water systems for the area.
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 Strathtulloh family homes, and we size each system against the real heat load rather than generic floor area calculations. West facing glazing is common and significantly changes cooling demand on hot afternoons. Zones are planned so the living hub, bedrooms and any secondary living area can each run independently, which matters for keeping running costs under control across long heatwave weeks. Ductwork is sealed and insulated well to ensure lasting efficiency.

Split systems are often a supplementary solution in new Strathtulloh homes, added to solve problem rooms or to separate a home office from the main ducted system. Occasionally a buyer prefers a split only setup in a smaller home, and we plan that carefully to cover the living area and main bedroom effectively. We fit quality inverter equipment, ensure pipework is neatly covered on external walls and commission each install to deliver the performance the brochure promises.

New Strathtulloh homes built with instant gas hot water are strong candidates for a heat pump upgrade as gas supply charges continue to climb. The changeover is straightforward, Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates pull the upfront cost down and running cost savings are immediate. We size tanks around real household pattern, which matters because these homes typically house growing young families with unpredictable morning routines. Pairing with rooftop solar is very effective on the large roofs common in new estates.

No, the suburb is well inland and standard specification is fine.
We assess floor plan, household pattern and budget and recommend honestly. Many new homes suit ducted but smaller builds can work perfectly well on splits.
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.
