At Dave's World Ellsworth, a recent customer said the install crew completed a single-day installation of three mini-split units fed by an outdoor, ground-level compressor/coil unit, running tubing up exterior walls to a third-floor condo. That customer said Salesman Shane and Office Manager Caity hosted them at the Ellsworth office and guided them through the financing process. The company says it has been in business 35 years. Its website lists a service area that includes Augusta, Dover-Foxcroft, Edgecomb, Presque Isle, Scarborough and Windham. A recent customer said Hoyt diagnosed the issues with their systems and made the repairs to get them back in proper working order. A recent customer said Kyle Dubose handled a two-year warranty service call for cleaning and maintenance of two heat pumps and answered questions about proper maintenance. Alec came over for a heat pump leaking condensate inside the house, tried a fix that didn't work, then came back and changed the entire plastic housing, a recent customer wrote. A recent customer said Brian came up with a solution for running the drain lines to their ceiling mounted cassettes. A recent customer said a heat pump water heater, a 240v outlet and whole home surge protection were installed. A recent customer said the crew installed a new breaker panel along with heat pumps. A recent customer whose heat pumps were installed three years earlier said a technician felt some minor mistakes were made with the installation and did not charge for the service visit; that customer also wrote that Dave's was a refreshing experience for plumbing problems after trying other local companies. A recent 2-star customer said simple annual maintenance was way overpriced for about an hour spent checking filters and cleaning a bit of mold. A 2025 customer said technicians left sawdust and plastic wrappers inside and out after an HVAC install. That 2025 customer said the upstairs system then developed a leak that partially ruined a bedroom ceiling, and later found a drain pipe had come disconnected in the attic. The same 2025 customer wrote that communication from the office was terrible, with no response to multiple messages. In a 2025 r/Maine thread, a commenter said Dave's World was nice but its pricing was higher. A 2025 r/Maine commenter called Dave's World's quote the only over the moon ridiculous one they received.
“Dave's world was nice, but pricing was ~$2k higher.”
“they actually listened to our requirements and constraints (unlike the sales guy from Dave’s world)”
“Dave's World was only concerned on price and "saving us money" via rebates and recommended 3 or 4 single zones”
“The only over the moon ridiculous quote I received was from Dave's World.”
Hoyt was great... professional, timely, & great to work with!!
Most excellent service absolutely wonderful technician who came to visit I would recommend them to anyone
Hoyt was fast, efficient, and friendly
3 years ago I had heat pumps installed through my house. Reasonable price comparatively. Unfortunately I didn’t sign for the service plan. After 1 year plus I had problems and was told a service charge would be about $300. The technician spent about 1-2 hours. Upon finishing he said there would probably be no charge because he felt there was some minor mistakes made with the installation. No company is infallible but how many accept responsibility? No charge. No problems since. Recently I had plumbing problems. Not knowing Dave’s did plumbing also, I tried a couple of local companies ( Ray’s Plumbing etc). The unprofessionalism and arrogance was astounding. Dave’s was truly a refreshing experience. Now I’ll check electrical. With Dave’s big is better.
Technician arrived on time, he was dressed professionally he removed his shoes entering our house, he explained again how to operate the control. Old people plus technology equals calls for help!
