Technicians certified in refrigerant handling and altitude charge adjustments
Systems tested at 2089 meter elevation to verify heating and cooling capacity
Outdoor unit pads reinforced for elevated plateau and mesa terrain conditions
“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, indoor fan coil setup, ductwork integration, refrigerant line installation, and altitude-rated charge verification
Outdoor unit placement, indoor fan coil setup, and altitude-rated refrigerant charge
Compressor diagnosis, refrigerant leak repair, and defrost cycle troubleshooting
Why Us
Air source systems fail when refrigerant charge isn't adjusted for altitude. Cold air density at elevation reduces heating capacity, and improper charge leads to compressor damage and comfort issues.
Altitude effects at 2089 meters mean thinner air reduces heat transfer efficiency
Elevated plateau locations face stronger winds that stress outdoor components
Systems without proper defrost cycles struggle when temperatures drop below 20°F
EPA Section 608 certified technicians adjust charge for 2089 meter elevation performance
Concrete pads anchored to handle elevated plateau wind loads and terrain shifts
Cold-climate air source units maintain heating capacity when temperatures drop below freezing
Heating and cooling capacity verified at 2089 meters with altitude-adjusted specifications
EPA Section 608 certified technicians adjust charge for 2089 meter elevation performance
Concrete pads anchored to handle elevated plateau wind loads and terrain shifts
Cold-climate air source units maintain heating capacity when temperatures drop below freezing
Heating and cooling capacity verified at 2089 meters with altitude-adjusted specifications
Who We Help
Mesa homes at elevation require altitude-rated installation and testing
Homeowners in Green Mountain's mesa residential areas replacing furnace and AC with one air source system
Mesa homes with air source systems losing heating capacity or requiring frequent defrost cycles
Green Mountain residents weighing outdoor air systems against geothermal for mesa terrain installation
How We Work
From site assessment to altitude performance testing
Site Assessment
EPA Section 608 certified technician visits your mesa home to assess outdoor unit placement, ductwork, and elevation factors
System Sizing & Design
We size the air source unit for your home's heating load and adjust refrigerant charge specifications for 2089 meter altitude
Installation & Testing
Outdoor unit mounted on reinforced pad, refrigerant lines connected, and heating and cooling capacity tested at elevation
About This Service
Air source heat pump work in Green Mountain fits mesa homes on elevated plateau lots where altitude affects capacity and line lengths. Systems must be sized and specified for high-elevation heating needs to maintain comfort in central-west Lakewood.
Mesa terrain calls for reinforced outdoor unit pads and attention to refrigerant charge, line-set length, and compressor selection rated for elevation. Installers specify altitude-rated compressors, confirm defrost timing for cold air density, and often recommend mini-split or short-run ducted options for irregular floorplans.
The expected result is consistent indoor setpoints through normal winter ranges when outdoor temperature is within about 20°F of the indoor target. Efficiency declines below design temperatures and some homes use electric backup; installations finish with performance testing at elevation by EPA Section 608 and NATE-certified technicians.

“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!”
