“I highly recommend John and his team. They don’t just sell to you, they found the problem with my heat pump and didn’t give up until it was fixed… and they didn’t sell me a new pump! Great service thanks guys”
“Don’t go anywhere else”
“Awesome service. Efficient, knowledgeable and tidy tradespeople. Had the heat pump in at short notice too, just in time for winter.”
“Absolutely fantastic”
“Outstanding service. Online email enquiry sent Saturday afternoon, John met us on Sunday to assess our home & discuss our options. Pump was completely installed by lunchtime Wednesday. Absolutely fantastic to be sitting in a nice cool house while outside is a ghastly 28 degrees with zero breeze. We have no hesitation in recommending McClellands to anyone looking for a reliable company to deal with”

“Needed 7 heat pumps fitted to our heritage house and I didn’t want an octopus of plumbing all over the house and was worried as I am organising this from Australia. John understood exactly what I desired. Everything is neat and aligned and out of direct view. They went out of their way to run a minimum amount of conduit and it shows that they made an effort to do the job well. Thanks John and staff I’m impressed and thanks for the photos”

Will be recommending them to everyone. 5 plus stars. Local legends 😊”

“My husband has a terminal Illness and is presently in Hospital but is to be discharged home tomorrow. A hospital bed is being set up for him in our lounge tomorrow. Last night I cleaned the heat pump and today when I turned it on it didn’t work. A distressed and urgent phone call to McClelland Refrigeration telling that I needed heat for my sick hubby tomorrow. Half an hour later John called back and said he was going to pop in now to see what was wrong. Magic!!! He fixed it for me. This is what I call exceptional, caring, and supportive service.
