WORKMANSHIP GUARANTEED Is evaporative cooling suitable for my home?
Evaporative cooling is an energy-efficient cooling unit option that provides a natural way to keep your home comfortable during warmer months. Unlike some air conditioning systems, evaporative cooling works by drawing in fresh hot air, passing it through water-soaked cooling pads, and then circulating cooler, filtered air throughout the home.
This process not only cools your living spaces but also helps maintain a steady flow of fresh air, improving overall indoor comfort. In areas like Geelong, where dry summer conditions are common, evaporative cooling can be a practical and cost-effective alternative to other air conditioning systems.
Too Hot To Handle specialises in installing each cooling unit to suit your home, giving you an efficient solution that lowers running costs while keeping indoor spaces fresh and comfortable even when the hot air outside rises.

Why choose evaporative? Advantages of evaporative cooling service in Geelong
Residential evaporative coolers are a smart choice for homeowners looking for an energy-efficient and natural way to stay comfortable in summer. These systems use far less electricity than traditional cooling options, helping reduce running costs while still delivering effective relief from rising air temperature.
By using the natural process of evaporation, residential evaporative coolers bring a steady flow of fresh, cool air into the home. They work best when you can open windows, allowing warm indoor air to move out while cool air circulates through your living spaces. This creates a fresher, healthier environment and can help reduce the dryness often associated with refrigerated cooling.
Another major advantage is that residential evaporative coolers are environmentally friendly, using water instead of refrigerants and consuming only a small amount of power. Too Hot To Handle provides tailored evaporative cooling solutions for homes in Geelong, helping you manage indoor air temperature naturally while enjoying the benefits of fresh air and the ability to open windows throughout summer.
Highly recommend this company.
The installation was with Don, Dylan and Noah, all very friendly and efficient. It was a pleasure to have tradies in my house that were actually well mannered and respectful.
They worked all day and nothing was too much trouble.
I was especially impressed that this Geelong company would come to Melbourne!
I installed a Fujitsu 7kW split system (with rebate) and a Reclaim 315L heat pump hot water system, and I am very happy with the products so far.
Nate, Russel and Scotty were amazing at helping us out in short notice. They were knowledgeable, professional, friendly and efficient!
They helped with the rebate application which was a very easy process and we had hot water back in a few hours.
I’m also loving the Reclaim app and being able to control the timing of when we heat our water during off peak periods. No more gas bills and hot water for around a dollar a day!
Great job team.
I was completely new to heat pump systems, but Too Hot to Handle made the entire process seamless. Russell and Jemma were incredibly helpful from the first call—Russell took the time to explain all the details and quickly organized the government rebate and installation for me.
The technicians, Nate and Dylan, did a fantastic job with the install. They arrived on time, removed my old system, and were very patient in explaining how the new one works. It’s rare to find such a friendly and professional team. I’m very happy with their work and highly suggest them to anyone!
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!
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 🙂
Competitive Quote when I was searching to install the Reclaim Units Hot Water System. Russel was able to guide me through the differences between the options. Great communication before, during and after installation date.
The team keep me updated during the process of what is happening and answered all of our questions. Adam make sure we understand how the unit work and safety. Amazing. Thanks Adam and his team mate.
Thank you team for your support and amazing work, we can now have hot showers after a while 😆
Too Hot To Handke: Too Good To Be True!!
A pleasure ti work with. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
😁❤️🖖
The team at Too Hot To Handle provided excellent customer service while helping me find the best solution to cool and heat my home office. They took the time to understand my needs and offered clear, practical advice. The installers and electricians were friendly, punctual, and informative - everything ran smoothly and professionally. Great job, guys! Highly recommend.
I would recommend Too Hot To Handle any time!
Really happy with the price. Top quality product and installation.
Couldn't be happier.
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.
But how? How does evaporative air conditioning work?
Evaporative air conditioning Geelong, is like a sea breeze keeping you cool on a hot day. Imagine you’re by the ocean and the air feels cooler as the water evaporates; this is the same basic principle behind evaporative air conditioning/ cooling. Inside the unit, a fan draws in warm air from outside and passes it through moistened pads. As the air moves through these pads, water in the pads evaporates, absorbing heat from the air, cooling it down.
This chilled air is then blown into your home, lowering the temperature. It’s a simple, natural process that mimics the way coolness is produced in nature, using water evaporation to reduce heat, which is exactly what Too Hot To Handle’s systems do to keep your home nice and comfortable.
Repairs and maintenance Evaporative cooling service Geelong
Servicing an evaporative cooling system is essential to ensure it runs efficiently and effectively throughout the warmer months and prevents build-up of bacteria in stagnant systems over winter. The process typically involves a thorough inspection and cleaning of the unit’s key components. This includes checking the filter pads, which must be clean and in good condition to allow for proper evaporation and airflow. The water pump and base tank of the system also need to be cleaned to prevent any build-up of minerals or algae, which can clog the system or drain, preventing itself from self-cleaning and reducing efficiency.
Additionally, the fan motor and all essential parts of the unit are inspected for any potential issues, and the overall system is checked for leaks or corrosion. Regular servicing by Too Hot To Handle not only enhances the performance of your evaporative cooler but also extends its lifespan, ensuring you stay cool and comfortable when the temperatures rise.
Frequently asked questions
The primary difference between evaporative cooling and traditional air conditioning lies in their cooling methods. Evaporative cooling uses water evaporation to cool the air, which is more energy-efficient and adds moisture to the indoor air, making it particularly beneficial in dry climates. It works best when fresh air can flow through the home, as it requires windows or doors to be partially open to create air movement. Traditional air conditioning, on the other hand, works by removing heat and humidity from the air and recirculating the cooled air in a closed environment, which can be more effective in humid conditions.
Benefits of evaporative cooling include significantly lower energy consumption compared to traditional air conditioning, leading to substantial cost savings on utility bills. This method improves air quality by constantly circulating fresh air, reducing indoor pollutants. It is also an eco-friendly cooling solution, as it doesn’t rely on chemical refrigerants and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, evaporative cooling adds moisture to the air, which can be especially beneficial in dry environments, preventing issues like dry skin and respiratory discomfort. This creates a more comfortable and healthier indoor climate.
Evaporative cooling is most effective in areas with dry heat, as the process relies on the evaporation of water to cool the air. If you live in a region with low humidity, like many parts of Geelong and greater surrounding, an evaporative cooler could be an excellent choice for your home. It’s also ideal if you prefer a steady stream of fresh air, as opposed to recirculated air. To determine if your home is a good fit for evaporative cooling, Too Hot To Handle can assess local climate conditions, your home’s layout, and your personal comfort preferences to provide the best cooling solution.
Yes, evaporative coolers can help filter out pollen, dust, and other outdoor allergens. As the air passes through the wet pads, particles are trapped and moistened, reducing the number of allergens that enter the indoor space. However, the effectiveness of this filtration depends on the maintenance of the cooler, particularly the cleanliness of the pads. Regular servicing ensures that the pads are clean and functioning correctly, which is essential for maximising the air-purifying benefits of an evaporative cooling system provided by Too Hot To Handle.
