“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+++”
What We Do
Covering outdoor unit placement on plains terrain, ductwork integration, refrigerant line setup, and performance testing for cold winters and semi-arid air.
Outdoor unit placement, refrigerant lines, and ductwork integration
Component diagnosis, refrigerant charge, and defrost cycle testing
Why Us
Air source heat pumps lose efficiency as temperatures drop. Without proper sizing and defrost cycle testing, you face poor heating performance and higher bills when you need warmth most.
Air source units struggle in extreme cold, requiring backup heat that drives up costs
Semi-arid air and freeze-thaw cycles stress components without proper placement
Frequent defrosting in cold winters creates noise that disturbs sleep and neighbors
Performance testing confirms your unit delivers rated BTUs in Arvada's coldest weather
Plains terrain and alluvial soil allow secure mounting that reduces vibration noise
Air source heat pumps handle both heating and cooling, eliminating dual equipment
Indoor fan coil connects to your current ducts, avoiding full duct replacement costs
Performance testing confirms your unit delivers rated BTUs in Arvada's coldest weather

About This Service
Air source heat pumps in Arvada's growing residential areas transfer heat between indoor and outdoor air in northern Denver metro suburbs. Plains terrain and alluvial soil north of Lakewood allow straightforward outdoor unit installation on concrete pads without the rocky ground complications common in nearby foothills. Cold winters and semi-arid air require systems with reliable defrost cycles and humidity management to maintain indoor comfort during heating season.
Growing residential areas from Olde Town Arvada to Majestic View and the Lutheran Hospital area include newer homes with existing ductwork and older homes requiring mini-split configurations. Outdoor units along Ward Road and McIntyre Street must be positioned to meet noise ordinances and avoid disturbing neighbors in denser residential developments. Refrigerant lines run through exterior walls or attics with proper insulation to prevent condensation and heat loss.
How much does it cost to install a heat pump in Colorado? Expect $8,000-$14,000 for air source systems including labor, materials, refrigerant, electrical service, and performance testing. Systems rated to -15°F maintain heating output during cold snaps without relying on backup electric resistance heat. Proper sizing prevents oversized units that short-cycle and undersized units that run continuously without reaching setpoint temperature.

“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!”
