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

Air source heat pumps that help Belmar homeowners reduce energy bills with efficient outdoor air systems

Covering outdoor unit placement, indoor fan coil installation, ductwork integration, refrigerant line setup, and performance testing for heating and cooling capacity

  • Air Source Installation

    Outdoor unit placement, indoor fan coil setup, and ductwork integration

  • Air Source Repair

    Diagnosis and component replacement for air source heat pump malfunctions

Why Us

Air source systems sized for urban flatland placement and dry wind exposure

Air source heat pumps fail when outdoor units are undersized for heating load or placed where dry winds disrupt airflow. The wrong placement leads to poor defrost cycles and reduced winter capacity.

Common Challenges

  • Poor winter heating below 20°F

    Older air source units lose capacity in cold weather, leaving rooms cold when you need heat most

  • Outdoor unit exposed to dry winds

    Belmar's urban cold and dry winds cause frequent defrost cycles that reduce efficiency

  • Complicated ductwork integration

    Mixed-use residential properties often lack existing ductwork for air source systems

How We Help

  • Efficient operation down to -15°F

    Modern air source units with variable-speed compressors maintain heating capacity in Denver winters

  • Outdoor unit placement for urban flatland

    Mesa elevation and flat terrain allow flexible placement away from wind exposure

  • One system replaces furnace and AC

    Air source heat pumps handle both heating and cooling, eliminating two separate systems

  • Ductwork integration or ductless options

    We install ducted air source systems or recommend mini-splits for properties without ductwork

About This Service

About this Service

Air source heat pump installation in Belmar suits mixed-use residential buildings and retail-residence conversions in central Lakewood. Systems move heat between indoor fan coils or ducted units and an outdoor unit, and they work well for zoned mini-split layouts where mechanical space is limited.

Belmar projects often use ductless multi-zone mini-splits or short-run ductwork to fit modern property systems. Outdoor unit placement on ground pads, side yards, or low parapet roofs must account for dry winds and urban noise; installers set refrigerant charge for mesa elevation and verify defrost cycles.

Expected outcome is reliable year-round heating and cooling that replaces separate furnace and AC, with units rated to about -15°F at altitude. Performance drops at extreme cold and may need supplemental heat; final acceptance includes refrigerant verification and performance testing by EPA Section 608 and NATE-certified technicians.

FAQ

Common questions about air source heat pumps in Belmar

Answers to help you understand air source systems and installation costs

A failing air source unit loses heating capacity as temperatures drop, leaving you without heat in winter. Emergency replacement during cold weather costs 20-30% more than planned installation. Running an inefficient unit wastes $300-500 annually in excess energy costs while comfort suffers.
Air source units that struggle below 20°F force backup electric resistance heat to run constantly, tripling your heating bills. Ignoring reduced capacity means paying for inefficient operation every winter while rooms stay cold. Proper sizing and placement prevent this waste.
Air source heat pump installation in Colorado typically costs $8,000-$15,000 depending on system size, ductwork requirements, and outdoor unit placement. Federal tax credits can reduce upfront cost by up to $2,000. We provide itemized quotes before work starts.
The $5000 rule suggests replacing your HVAC system if repair cost multiplied by system age exceeds $5,000. For example, a $500 repair on a 12-year-old unit equals $6,000, signaling replacement makes more sense than continued repairs on aging equipment.
Air source heat pumps extract heat from outdoor air even in cold weather using refrigerant that evaporates at low temperatures. Modern units with variable-speed compressors maintain heating capacity down to -15°F, though efficiency drops as temperatures fall. Defrost cycles prevent ice buildup on outdoor coils.
Air source heat pumps lose heating capacity as outdoor temperatures drop, requiring backup heat below -15°F. Outdoor units need space for airflow and defrost drainage. Ductwork integration can be complicated in homes without existing ducts. Performance depends on proper sizing and placement for your climate.
Mixed-use residential properties often lack existing ductwork, making ductless mini-split systems a better fit than ducted air source units. Urban flatland placement allows flexible outdoor unit positioning. We recommend systems sized for modern property heating loads and urban cold exposure.

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!
