Air source systems that heat and cool using outdoor air, working efficiently in Denver winters down to -15°F with proper defrost cycles.
“Had an issue with my furnace, not running correctly and I thought it was short cycling so I called Bear Creek after having another HVAC contractor looked at it. Charge me $150 and didn't really fix the problem. The owner Kevin showed up and was able to identify the issue had a short-term fix until we could get it fixed. Kevin was very knowledgeable and a nice guy and didn't even me for the short term solution. I would strongly recommend him!”
“Where can I start? Kevin is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Prices are also reasonable for the quality of work performed. I had an emergency leak in my basement today (had a flight to catch in a couple of hours) and denver water was taking too long to shut the water off in the house. Kevin took time out of his day off to stop by my house and temporarily fix the leak so I could make my flight later that day! The professionalism is unmatched! I will be using Kevin and his team on all sorts of projects going forward. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
“Kevin and his team came into my old moutain home and helped me install a new tankless water heater and a new furnace. They ran into all sorts of unknowns at the house, my well line started leaking into basement and it was just the tip of the iceberg. Kevin stayed numerous days helping me fight problems that were not even part of his installation. He is one who you can say will have your back through thick n thin! He sticks to what he says, where most people would try to stick it to you for unseen work.. His instalation was very thorough and he made sure I was happy before he left. l sure appreciate you helping me fight the fight with courage and leadership. Thank you Kevin and Team A+++”

Why Us
Air source heat pumps lose efficiency as temperatures drop, and undersized systems fail to heat effectively when you need them most.
Older air source units struggle in cold Denver winters, running constantly without reaching set temperature
Undersized systems or improper refrigerant charge force backup heat to run, spiking energy costs
Snow and ice buildup blocks airflow, triggering frequent defrost cycles that reduce heating capacity
Modern air source units maintain heating capacity in Denver winters using variable-speed compressors
Air source heat pumps handle both heating and cooling, eliminating the need for separate equipment
EPA Section 608 certified technicians test refrigerant levels to ensure rated efficiency and capacity
Technicians position outdoor units away from snow drifts and prevailing winds to reduce defrost cycles
Indoor fan coils matched to existing ductwork capacity prevent airflow restrictions and noise

About This Service
Air source heat pumps transfer heat between indoor and outdoor air to provide heating and cooling across Lakewood and the Denver metro. They suit detached houses, townhomes, and small commercial spaces that want one system to replace both furnace and air conditioner.
Cold winters and high-elevation air in this market require selecting cold-climate units rated to at least -15°F and adjusting refrigerant charge for altitude. Typical installations include outdoor unit placement with required clearances, indoor fan coil or ductwork integration, electrical supply checks, refrigerant line sets, condensate routing, and final performance testing.
When sized and commissioned correctly, an air source heat pump delivers consistent year-round comfort and lower operating energy; performance falls as temperature drops, so some properties need supplemental heat below design temperature. EPA Section 608 and NATE-certified technicians should verify refrigerant levels, defrost cycles, and heating capacity during the final test.

“We have known Kevin Camblin for a decade. First of all, he is fully licensed and insured. I not only hired him to install furnace in my rental, last year we hired him to install new AC in our new home. The home builder had the copper lines preinstalled (refrigerant). When Kevin finished the AC install, he found and repaired the copper line the BUILDER accidentally punctured with a nail. (this leak was in basement ceiling). Outstanding workmanship on Kevin’s part and we went with an upgrade on our new AC - reason was it is more efficient and super quiet. Give this company a call. High integrity and competitive price. AVOID THE BIG CHAINS because the others have high overhead!”
“I have had terrible luck with furnaces in my homes. Not only has Bear Creek Heating & Air replace one furnace but two. My first home and then my second when I moved into a townhouse. In true emergency it was the dead of winter and woke up to a home that was less than 50 degrees. Their team worked efficiently to see was available and do it for a fair and reasonable cost. I would highly recommend this company! I've had my furnace now for a couple years and zero problems!”
