Replaced A/C System Feb 5, 2026

Replaced A/C system. Pat was very informative during the estimate. Once I made my decision to go with Blue Bear, a crew was here the next day to remove and replace my system.

Prompt, professional, responsive. Oct 18, 2025

My air conditioner stopped working on a Friday at 2:00 p.m. I got on Yelp and found that Blue Bear had 24 five-star reviews so gave them a call. By 5:30 p.m. same day, a tech was at my house fixing the issue. He explained it’s a temporary fix to help me get through the weekend with air conditioning. Two weeks later, the A/C died again and needed replacement. Blue Bear was extremely responsive to get the new A/C installed quickly. Prompt, professional, responsive. Will always use them.

I highly recommend them. Sep 3, 2025

Blue Bear was one of three companies I contacted about replacing my system. I chose them because they were competitively priced, had good reviews, and I like to support smaller businesses. They installed the new system within a few days. There was a problem with the compressor and they replaced it immediately, with no hassle. I have had questions along the way and they have always responded immediately, even driving out from St. Pete to show me something about the system when I misunderstood them over the phone. I highly recommend them.

Top notch all the way! Jul 31, 2025

Daniel with Blue Bear Heating & Air came within 1.5 hrs to fix our AC until they could install a new one in 4 days. The company we were already with took over 8 hrs to even show up. Clayton and Reggie did a fantastic job installing the new AC and with cleanup. Highly recommended using this company. Everyone was professional, courteous, and above all efficient. Top notch all the way!

They actually care about their customers. Jul 13, 2025

I heard about Blue Bear from my neighbor. My two AC units were 19 years old and one was failing. I researched different units and numerous AC companies and all were confusing—quotes, brands, etc. I contacted Blue Bear and Pat spent several hours discussing tonnage, SEER2, my house, and units. I had planned to replace one unit, but after talking with Pat I contracted for both AC units. Installation was done in one day and made everything easy for us. Paul, installation, did an outstanding job. If you are thinking about replacing your AC units or just service, give them a call. You will be happy you did. They actually care about their customers. Rare in these times.

These guys were on top of their game! Jun 10, 2025

These guys were on top of their game! Very impressive work and very knowledgeable! Answered all my questions and guided me on the new thermostat. Very nice guys! Would recommend this company for anyone in need of air conditioning repair! We ended up getting a whole new unit and it looks great! Thank you!

I will definitely recommend this company May 21, 2025

It was time to update the old AC, so I reached out to a few companies but decided to go with Blue Bear Heating and Air. Their representative, Daniel Silva, is very helpful, polite, and courteous, with a good knowledge of the ACs being sold, and the process required. He provided the best price that I could get. I think it was because of him and his professionalism that I decided to go with this company. On the day when the AC was supposed to be changed, two people showed up on time, and they started their jobs and completed all of it pretty quickly. I would say it took around 5–6 hours. Both of them respected our property and were very professional too. We worked from home that day and were not bothered at all. It's been over a month now, and the AC is running pretty good and looks solid. So I will definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to change AC or facing any issues with ACs.

I highly recommend them. May 19, 2025

I called Blue Bear and the owner answered at almost 8 p.m. at night, and he sent a technician out within an hour. He showed me exactly what was wrong and walked me through the repair and costs honestly, and I decided on a new unit instead. Not a pushy salesman. I was given a great price and they were there the next day and got the whole job done immediately and left everything perfect. I highly recommend them. Awesome company! Great job! 🤩

These are professionals. Sep 10, 2024

Very impressed all around. Called them on a Sunday. They had someone out that day. Very kind, professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. They booked us the next day to have an upstairs unit replaced. The installers showed up and again displayed the same qualities as the gentleman on Sunday and got the job done. These are professionals. They know what they are doing. Not only did they get the job done, the installers tidied up some odd and end items that previous companies left at a lower standard.

The folks at Blue Bear Heating and Air were a pleasure to work with. Jul 16, 2024

At more than 17 years of operation in the Florida heat, my central AC unit was on its last legs. It was still working reasonably well but needed a number of major replacement parts, and my electricity bill was through the roof. Rather than wait for it to stop working in the middle of a holiday weekend, as would be my luck, I thought it was time to replace the system. While I am a fairly skilled handyman, the most I knew about HVAC systems was how to lower the thermostat, so I decided to call a few local contractors for estimates. The folks at Blue Bear Heating and Air were a pleasure to work with. After coming out to the house, they promptly provided me with a few different written estimates and answered all of the questions I had and were willing to negotiate their terms in order to earn my business. Thanks, Blue Bear!

I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience! Feb 26, 2024

I recently had my air conditioning unit replaced by Blue Bear Heating & Air in preparation for the summer heat of Florida, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience! Their professionalism, efficiency, and customer service were unparalleled, making what could have been a stressful process seem effortless. My initial consultation was informative and they were able to schedule an assessment quickly. The technicians were knowledgeable and transparent, taking their time to ensure I understood my options within my price range. The installation was swift, with the technicians being respectful of my home and doing their due diligence to ensure the new A/C system works flawlessly. Highly recommend this company to anyone in the greater Tampa Bay area in need of air conditioning services!

I will definitely use Blue Bear Feb 20, 2026

The service appointment was made for a window of between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. I received an automated email stating the technician was on his way at 1:44 p.m. At approximately 4:03 p.m. the technician still had not arrived, so I made a call for an ETA. I was informed by the dispatch department that they were showing him as already at my residence. I informed them that he wasn't onsite. They did not have his location, and I was informed that they were going to try and locate him. Approximately 5 minutes after I ended the call, the technician showed up! I was not very happy with the tardiness of the technician as I had taken half the day off of work to be home for the window he was supposed to show up for. I could have worked and saved 4 hours of vacation time since he did not arrive until a bit after 4 p.m. As far as the technician David R., he was apologetic, polite, informative, and did a professional installation of my EV outlet and cleaned up after the installation. I am, however, not impressed with the office not reaching back out to me to inform me of the status of the technician's arrival and the fact I wasted 4 hours of vacation time. One more gripe: I was supposed to get a 10% veterans discount that was offered, but it did not apply to the balance. 2/20/26 Updated After the owner Mike had read my review, he promptly called me first thing the next morning. Mike was genuinely concerned and apologetic about my experience with Blue Bear, and we had a very sincere conversation, and he wanted to earn my 5 star review. Mike offered me a hefty discount on the service, and he made good on his promise to compensate me for time I took off of work for the install. I will definitely use Blue Bear services in the future. It was nice to see an owner who truly cares about his customers and wants to make it a 5 star experience! Thank you Mike and the Blue Bear team!

Stood Out in a Tough Market Feb 16, 2026

Hired Blue Bear for an electrical panel replacement. Received several bids; they weren’t the cheapest, but they were fair. They also were the only provider to recommend rotating the panel outward (it was facing inside a utility closet) to meet code. They worked with me to schedule the job around my renters' schedule. When they ran into a hiccup on the job (our master shutoff had to be replaced), Mike reached out and took ownership of the situation. Mike was patient in answering all of my calls and questions. That was sincerely appreciated. Sarasota is a tough market for home service providers. Lots of providers and lots of noise. These guys stood out for their ability to deliver on their promises at an honest price. I would highly recommend them.

Fast, efficient, and saved the day Feb 8, 2026

Josh Campbell was fast, efficient, and saved the day on a Saturday night that our lights went out. We've used Blue Bear for plumbing, HVAC, and now electrical. I will continue to use them for all properties. Thank you again, Josh!!

Josh did a great job Feb 2, 2026

Josh did a great job troubleshooting my issue with the electricity. He replaced a few breaker switches in a timely fashion, and also found a faulty light switch, which he kindly fixed for me. I highly recommend this company and Josh for any of your electrical needs!
