Dave the Plumber LLC.

Dave the Plumber LLC is a Salem, New Hampshire plumbing, heating and air conditioning shop that works across New England, with a focus on heat pumps and ductless mini-split systems as an authorized GREE dealer. The business describes itself as owner-operated and family owned, and says it has 25 years behind it. The work customers describe most often is comfort equipment. A homeowner whose three-zone ductless system had died wrote in 2022 that Dave assessed it, recommended and installed a new GREE system that both heats and cools, and charged what they felt was a surprisingly fair price. Another had a whole-home ductless system put in. A Massachusetts household replacing an aging central air unit with a heat pump wrote in 2022 that he explained the process, quoted a fair price for a whole-house system, and went as far as attaining a state certification so they could claim their rebate. Heating emergencies come up repeatedly. One reviewer's boiler failed and he arrived within the hour. When a family's heating system was going in cold weather, a 2025 review says he prioritized the installation and set up a temporary water heater so they were not without hot water in the meantime. A 2023 reviewer had nine broken pipes in a crawl space after a bad winterization and says he squeezed the repair into the same day they called, when other companies were quoting four to five days. Price comes up in the same breath as the work in review after review: competitive, well below higher estimates, more than fair, on point. So does reachability, with one customer describing calls and texts answered immediately and their schedule worked around. Several customers are on their second or third job with him, including annual maintenance on a Navien heating system and two years of ongoing service after he diagnosed a legacy boiler others could not. The one thing to press on is follow-through after payment. A 2023 one-star reviewer says they paid 300 dollars for a garbage disposal repair that did not fix the problem, that he agreed to come back, and that the return visit never happened and they heard nothing for months. Nothing else in the record repeats that pattern, but it is the risk worth managing. He is a sensible call for heat pump, mini-split, boiler and general plumbing work around Salem and over the Massachusetts line, particularly when you need someone fast. Agree in writing what happens if the fix does not hold, and hold back final payment until the problem is actually gone.
