Sam King
Faultless from start to finish. We had a new heat pump installed as well as a DAB ezy pump, the whole process was extremely smooth, communication was excellent and all the admin behind receiving the government grant was carried out on my behalf. Regarding the actual install, James and his team were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble, he was very knowledgeable and got the job done within the timeframe he first stated. I would highly recommend David and his team.
Toby Woolley
Got in touch with David about the possibility of installing air conditioning in my very warm home office. He was round the following day to inspect the property and provided a quote that evening. The following week his air con team came in the morning and had the system installed and running by midday, leaving the place spotless. Very happy customer. I would thoroughly recommend David and his team.
Dimitri Chirgadze
Used David for installing air-conditioning units. Very knowledgeable and provided a competitive quote that included great equipment. Absolutely wonderful and faultless installation by his team. Highly recommend and will use again for any other of my pluming/heating/service needs.
Hanna Claydon
We have an old house with relatively complicated heating issues and the service we got from the David Frear team was excellent. Throughout the process they were very professional, tidy, punctual and explained everything in a way that could be understood without being patronising. I have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
Laura Owens
The plumbers were very helpful and friendly, ensuring that they stuck to the social distancing rules whilst in the house. They did everything they could to fix what seemed like an ever moving problem. The reason for four stars is because I am renting and I can't compare prices. Good service, thanks.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know you’re properly qualified and certified to install heat pumps?
We are MCS‑certified and registered with an approved consumer protection/competent person scheme, which is essential for quality assurance and to access grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).
Can you tell me if a heat pump is actually suitable for my home?
We carry out a detailed home assessment, including property type, insulation levels, existing heating system and available outdoor space, to confirm whether a heat pump is a good fit.
What type and size of heat pump will you recommend for my property, and why?
We design the system using a heat‑loss calculation for your home, then match the correct kW size and model (for example, air‑source vs ground‑source) so it runs efficiently and reliably.
What will the full installation cost be, and what’s included in your quote?
Our fixed quote clearly lists the heat pump, cylinder, controls, labour, scaffolding (if needed), electrical work and any radiator or pipework upgrades, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Can you help me access government grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Yes, as an MCS installer we can confirm your eligibility, apply for the BUS grant (worth up to £7,500) on your behalf and deduct it directly from your quote.
How much disruption should I expect during installation, and how long does it take?
A typical air‑source heat pump installation takes around 2–5 days, and we’ll agree locations for the indoor and outdoor units, manage any planning considerations and keep you informed each day.
Will I need to replace my radiators or upgrade anything else in my home?
After the heat‑loss survey, we’ll advise if any radiators, pipework, electrics or hot‑water cylinder need upgrading so the system can run efficiently at lower flow temperatures.
How noisy is the outdoor unit and where will it be installed?
Modern heat pumps are designed to be quiet and must meet UK noise regulations; we’ll position the unit to minimise any impact on you and your neighbours and comply with local planning rules.
What warranties, servicing and aftercare do you provide?
You’ll get manufacturer warranties on the heat pump plus our workmanship guarantee, and we offer ongoing servicing and support to keep your system performing at its best.
What running costs and savings can I realistically expect compared to my current boiler?
We’ll estimate your likely annual running costs and potential savings based on your current fuel type, insulation level and tariffs, using real‑world performance data rather than lab figures.
