Middletons heating and cooling (Western Heating and Cooling) was started by Barrie Middleton in 1965 and operated from a home office until 1981. When Barrie started out on his own, the business mainly focused on oil heaters and converting stoves to oil. In the old days Barrie worked from the garage at home.
The shop opened in 1981 in the same location we still operate from today! The display as you can see from the photos was huge at the time with a wide variety of Potbellies and wood stoves. Over the years we have seen a lot of changes in the popularity of different types of heating including the rise and fall of oil heating, the inverter technology in reverse cycle and the high efficiency of gas ducted furnaces.

Services
Middletons have been keeping families comfortable since 1965. A family owned business founded by Barrie Middleton, we are now owned by the next generation Daniel Middleton who started in the business in 1986. We have been operating from the Same premises since 1981! And Our showroom has been recently renovated to display a huge range.
On a cold winter day it is an absolute joy to have every room in your home toasty warm (walk into a cosy bathroom, bare feet on warm floor, and grab a hot, dry towel from the rail above the warm air floor outlet). Ducted heating does not take up wall space as do room heaters and it could be possible to heat an entire home for about the same cost as operating inefficient "room heaters".
Wood heaters are an amazing source of heat for your home. With the right advice you will find a wood heater that can heat your whole home whilst creating an atmosphere like no other type of heating! Being able to see a flame gives you an extra sense of warmth, some say it's like having an old friend in the room.
Nothing beats enjoying the warmth gas log fireplaces provide in the comfort of your home. Our range of gas log fireplace inserts can cater to any of your heating needs, offering the aspects you love of an open fire, minus the hassle. Gas log fires are advantageous over their traditional counterparts in almost every aspect.
The warmth from a radiator is like spring sunshine through a window, it also warms the lower level of a room much more efficiently than ducting which directs the warm air to the ceiling first. Operating sound levels of the warm air furnace will be noticeable particulary if it is underfloor or in the ceiling.

I rang Middleton’s Heat and Cool In COLAC In early June to have heating and cooling installed at my home in Lorne and arrange for an on-site inspection. I was told by the receptionist that my details would be passed on to Jody. I waited approximately 10 days and still no contact from anyone. I Called back and this time I spoke to Jody who advised she had only just seen the message and that it had been sitting on the reception desk without her knowledge.
After advising she did not know how this happened I requested an on-site inspection of my property. After a few days two installers arrived
