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 Edgewater homeowners reduce energy bills while maintaining comfort year-round

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

  • Air Source Installation

    Outdoor unit placement, indoor fan coil setup, and refrigerant lines

  • Air Source Repair

    Compressor diagnosis, refrigerant leak repair, and defrost cycle fixes

Why Us

Systems sized for compact properties with cold climate performance testing

Air source heat pumps fail when outdoor units are undersized or refrigerant charge is incorrect for cold weather operation. Performance drops sharply below 20°F without proper defrost cycles and low-temperature compressor staging.

Common Challenges

  • Poor heating during cold snaps

    Air source units lose capacity below 20°F without low-temperature compressors

  • Outdoor unit exposed to weather

    Dry climate dust and debris clog coils, reducing airflow and efficiency

  • Complicated ductwork integration

    Compact residential properties often lack space for traditional ducted systems

How We Help

  • Heating down to -15°F outdoor temp

    Modern air source compressors maintain capacity in cold snaps with staged heating

  • Mini-split systems for compact homes

    Ductless indoor units mount on walls, eliminating ductwork in tight spaces

  • One system replaces furnace and AC

    Air source heat pumps handle both heating and cooling with reversing valve

  • Performance testing after install

    Technicians verify refrigerant charge and heating capacity at outdoor temperature

About This Service

About this Service

Air source heat pumps in Edgewater's compact residential properties transfer heat between indoor and outdoor air, often using mini-split configurations for space efficiency. Small municipality homes near Lakewood and Wheat Ridge borders frequently lack existing ductwork, making ductless mini-split systems the practical choice. Outdoor units mount on flat ground or urban soil with straightforward installation, while indoor wall-mounted fan coils provide zoned control room by room.

Compact residential properties along Kipling Street and Sheridan Boulevard require careful outdoor unit placement to minimize noise impact on close neighbors and meet setback requirements. Cold snaps and dry climate demand systems with low-temperature performance to -15°F and defrost cycles that prevent frost buildup on outdoor coils. Mini-split systems allow heating or cooling individual rooms without conditioning the entire home, reducing energy waste in smaller properties.

Performance testing verifies refrigerant charge, heating output at design temperature, and proper drainage from indoor fan coils. Mini-split installations require smaller refrigerant line sets than ducted systems, reducing installation complexity and refrigerant volume. EPA Section 608 certification ensures technicians handle refrigerant properly during line set connections and system commissioning.

FAQ

Common Questions About Air Source Heat Pumps in Edgewater

Answers to help you understand air source heat pump installation, performance, and costs for compact residential properties.

A failing air source unit loses heating capacity during cold snaps, leaving you without heat when outdoor temps drop below 20°F. Emergency replacement in winter costs 20-30% more than planned installation. Refrigerant leaks waste energy and can damage the compressor, leading to $2,000-$4,000 in repair costs vs $800-$1,200 for early replacement.
An air source heat pump transfers heat between indoor and outdoor air using refrigerant. In heating mode, it extracts heat from outdoor air and moves it inside. In cooling mode, it reverses the process like an air conditioner. One system handles both heating and cooling, replacing furnace and AC.
Modern air source heat pumps with low-temperature compressors maintain heating capacity down to -15°F. Performance drops as outdoor temperature falls, but staged heating and defrost cycles keep the system running. Technicians size systems for Edgewater's cold climate and test heating capacity at outdoor temperature during installation.
Air source heat pump installation for a 2000 sq ft home typically costs $8,000-$15,000, depending on ductwork condition, outdoor unit placement, and mini-split vs ducted configuration. Compact residential properties often require mini-split systems, which cost $3,000-$5,000 per indoor unit. Federal tax credits and utility rebates can reduce upfront cost by $2,000-$4,000.
The $5000 rule suggests replacing your HVAC system if repair cost times equipment age in years exceeds $5,000. For example, a $500 repair on a 12-year-old system equals $6,000, signaling replacement makes more sense than repair. This rule helps homeowners decide between repair and replacement based on equipment lifespan and repair frequency.
Air source heat pumps lose heating capacity as outdoor temperature drops, requiring backup heat below 20°F in some systems. Outdoor units need clearance for airflow, which can be challenging in compact residential properties. Ductless mini-splits solve space issues but require wall-mounted indoor units in each room. Proper sizing and cold climate compressors minimize these downsides.
Not necessarily. Mini-split air source systems work without ductwork, mounting indoor units on walls in each room. This is ideal for compact residential properties without existing ducts. If you have ductwork in good condition, a ducted air source system integrates with existing ducts. Technicians assess your home during site visit and recommend the best configuration.

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+++
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!
