Solar panel system
With solar, you can generate and use your own free, clean electricity during the day and reduce the amount of grid energy you buy. This is one of the best ways to save money on energy and reduce your home’s emissions.
Available in a range of sizes and qualities to suit your energy use and budget, with leading components and warranties. All solar panels on offer have high salt mist ratings and are designed for installation in coastal environments.

Solar & battery storage
Future-proof your home and enjoy energy independence with a tailored system that includes battery storage.
When you install solar panels and a battery, your panels will generate electricity during the day to power your home. Any excess electricity not being used at the time will be stored in your battery, so you can power your home with solar energy day and night.

Electric vehicle charger
Cars account for around half of Australia’s transport emissions, but switching to an electric vehicle can reduce your emissions and running costs. Installing a charger at home allows you to recharge your car up to 3x faster than a standard power outlet. Through the program, you can purchase one of Australia’s most popular EV chargers.
- Compatible with all electric vehicles
- Option to charge with solar power first
- 3 charging modes (Fast, Eco and Eco+)
- Remote control and monitoring add-on option
- 10 year warranty
- Programmable timer function
- High quality
- Can take power from the grid, solar or both
Single phase. Additional hardware required if adding to battery storage.
Hot water heat pump systems
Hot water heat pump systems work by extracting heat from the surrounding air, then using a heat exchanger to heat water rather than an element. This uses far less electricity than a conventional electric hot water system, and can be run on solar power, dramatically reducing your running costs.

Split system heating and cooling (reverse cycle)
In Victoria, heating uses the most energy in the home. Upgrading to an electric reverse cycle split system is one of the most energy efficient, lowest cost heating options available.
Fujitsu Lifestyle Range Split System Air Conditioner (pictured above)

Alternative sizes and whole-of-house or ducted systems are also available. Prices include standard installation with up to 5m pipework and 20m of electrical cable run. Victorian Energy Upgrade (VEU) rebates may be available based on eligibility criteria and range from $200 to $2,500 depending on the type of unit being installed and replaced. The Too Hot To Handle Team can provide a tailored proposal, based on your specific circumstances.
Home insulation and draught proofing.
Draught Proofing
Draught proofing stops warm air from escaping your home in winter and hot air from entering in summer, saving you money and making your home more comfortable.
Draughts can exist in any entry point in your home including:
- Gaps around doors and windows
- Exhaust fans
- General penetrations such as pipes etc
- Above curtains and drapes
- Old or disused wall vents
- Chimneys
Ceiling Insulation
Effective ceiling insulation is the best barrier against the heat in summer and the cold in winter, and can save you up to 20 percent on your energy bills.
Fletcher Insulation Pink Batts® ceiling insulation are Australia-made from lightweight, flexible and resilient glasswool, for thermal insulation of ceilings and walls in residential and commercial spaces.
Polyester Solutions PolyBatts are specifically formulated lightweight products manufactured from a blend of polyester fibres.

Underfloor Insulation
It’s estimated that you could save at least 10 percent per year on your energy bills with underfloor insulation, but installing it is dirty work!
Underfloor insulation prevents air draught and creates an insulating barrier under the floorboards. It can be retrofitted to existing homes that have a sub-floor and most new-builds that have a requirement for floor insulation.
It’s perfect for exposed floorboards on a suspended wooden floor and it's also a great solution for insulating the edge and/or the underside of slabs on the ground.
Wall Insulation
Envirowall is ideal for retrofitting insulation in older homes. It fills the cavity between internal plasterboard and external façades using a blow-in technique, ensuring minimal disruption. This method can be applied externally through brick, brick veneer, double brick, and weatherboard, or internally through plasterboard. Envirowall not only provides thermal benefits but also improves acoustic insulation, making it an effective solution for both external and internal walls.
Home Energy Audits
A home energy audit, also known as a Residential Efficiency Scorecard Assessment, is a comprehensive evaluation of a home’s energy use and efficiency. Conducted by a qualified assessor, this audit involves an in-depth examination of the building’s structure, insulation, heating, cooling, lighting and appliances. The assessment identifies areas where energy is being wasted and provides tailored recommendations for improvements. The goal is to enhance comfort, reduce energy bills and minimise the household’s environmental footprint. The resulting Scorecard gives homeowners clear insights and actionable steps to make their homes more energy-efficient and sustainable.
Comprehensive Scorecard and Report includes:
- An official Scorecard Certificate.
- A comprehensive report outlining your home’s current baseline, priorities for upgrading and opportunities to take the next step.
- A list of the current items in your home that contribute to thermal efficiency, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Priorities for upgrading the building fabric and fixed appliances in response to your personal goals and motivations.
- This report will provide a customised plan to electrify your home.
