D.A. Cressey Heat Pumps & Electric serves Brunswick, Bath, Topsham, Harpswell, Wiscasset, Damariscotta and nearby towns, claims 22 years in business and offers free estimates. The licence behind the business is David Cressey's: Maine's Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation lists his electrician licence, MS60019360, as active. Three 2024–2025 reviews describe heat pump installs. In an August 2025 review, a repeat customer said this was the second unit Dave had installed for them and that he was handling the rebate paperwork on their behalf. A May 2025 reviewer said Dave walked through the pros and cons of each type of unit and followed through on what he said, and a September 2024 customer said the pumps went in quickly with regular updates. The complaints are sharp. A September 2025 Google reviewer gave one star, calling the company disrespectful and accusing it of upcharging and doing awful work. A BBB reviewer praised the workmanship but said they would never hire him again. Google shows 4.2 stars from 30 ratings, and the BBB grades the company A+. **Strengths:** - Heat pump installs — three 2024–2025 reviews describe installs - Rebate help — 2025 customer had paperwork submitted for them - Options explained — 2025 reviewer got pros and cons of each unit **Concerns:** - Upcharging complaint — September 2025 one-star review alleges overcharging, poor work - Would not rehire — BBB reviewer praised work, refused to hire again ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - David Cressey holds an active Maine electrician licence, MS60019360 _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.pfr.maine.gov/ALMSOnline/ALMSQuery/SearchIndividual.aspx) — “ME electrician license MS60019360 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: DAVID CRESSEY” - Installed three heat pumps while avoiding exterior wall mounts for a March 2025 customer _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNJMG9tVWZREAE!2m1!1s0x0:0xe5d0b8b1548ae83e!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgMCI0omUfQ%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Excellent Service from David Cressey I recently had the pleasure of working with David Cressey, who installed three heat pumps at my home…” - An August 2025 repeat customer said Dave installed their second unit and handled the rebate paperwork _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tWYWRHVnpjbk5mVDJaa2VVUXpaMDVzVFRGb05sRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xe5d0b8b1548ae83e!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkVadGVzcnNfT2ZkeUQzZ05sTTFoNlE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ We finally pulled the trigger on this project.
