Are you looking for a reliable local air source heating specialist? Bear Plumbing, Heating and Technical is a trusted air source heating specialist.
Air source heating is a sustainable way of heating the home. An air source heat pump extracts heat from the air outside your house which can then be used to heat underfloor heating systems, radiators, hot water and warm air convectors. While air source heat pumps do require electricity to operate they have less impact on the environment than traditional heating methods and will save you money in the long run.
There are many benefits to installing an air source heat pump including reduced fuel bills, potential income through the government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RCI) scheme, reduced carbon emissions, no fuel deliveries and heating all year around (air source pumps can operate in temperatures as low as -15 degrees).
At Bear Plumbing, Heating and Technical, we are passionate about the environment and getting the best results for our clients. We consult with each client on their needs and budget before recommending the best air source heating unit to meet their requirements.
Our professional team of air source heating specialists are qualified and insured to undertake all works associated with air source pumps and heating systems.
Bear Plumbing, Heating and Technical can help with all matters relating to air source heating, including:
- Air source heat pump installation
- Air source heat system repairs
- Air source heating maintenance

"Robert was highly professional throughout and did a great job replacing our leaking cylinder. He explained everything he was doing and made the whole process clear and transparent. We really trust Robert and the team at Bear plumbing and will use again in the future."

"Our work required expertise and superior knowledge of how the water meters work within a domestic house. We were told by our water board we had a leak that Liam found wasn’t true and saved us a lot of money by knowing exactly what had gone wrong. Liam is now our man to call and cannot thank him enough for his help."

Review by Lindsey Clarke

"Having used Bear Plumbing, Heating, & Technical previously for a leak in our water tank and to fix our boiler, there was no doubt they would be our first choice to call when we accidentally dropped something heavy onto the bathroom basin and cracked a big hole in it. Liam came to quote asap, and we took the opportunity to ask him to quote for replacing our toilet at the same time. Liam clearly explained everything that needed to be done and how long it would take, quoted us a very reasonable price for the work, and ordered any extra parts needed. When it came to getting the work done, Liam was punctual and friendly, completed the job in good time, and cleaned up all the waste, leaving us with a brand-new toilet and basin. The whole process was stress-free from start to finish - from our first contact with Michelle at the office, who is friendly and very helpful, to the work itself, which was brilliant. All in all, a fantastic service. Would 100% recommend Bearphat!"

Michael - Image 1 "I have been using Bear Plumbing, Heating and Technical for over three years, and the service has been consistently excellent. They carry out the annual servicing of my NIBE air source heat pump in line with the manufacturer’s specifications each year. More recently, we had a new kitchen fitted, and Liam was the first person I contacted. He provided a clear plan and schedule for both first- and second-fix works, all organised efficiently by Michelle in the office. Liam completed the installation of the sink, Quooker tap, and waste pipework to an exceptionally high standard. The pipework under the sink is incredibly neat and well thought out—truly a reflection of his pride and attention to detail. Overall, Bear Plumbing, Heating and Technical provide excellent value for money. They are always punctual, highly professional, and clearly take pride in their work. I would highly recommend."
Trader reply: "Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. We really appreciate your continued trust over the years. Liam will be over the moon with your feedback. Liam takes a lot of pride in his work, so it means a great deal to hear how happy you are with everything. Thank you once again for your recommendation and for being such a valued customer."
