“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 performance testing for cold Denver winters
Outdoor unit placement, indoor fan coil setup, and ductwork integration
Diagnosis and component replacement with performance verification
Why Us
Air source heat pumps work efficiently in Wheat Ridge's climate, but only when outdoor units are placed correctly and systems are sized for your home's heating load. Poor placement or undersized equipment leads to high bills and uneven comfort.
Air source units lose capacity as temperatures drop, leaving rooms cold on winter nights
Snow and ice buildup on coils reduces airflow and triggers constant defrost cycles
Existing ducts sized for furnace airflow may not match air source fan coil requirements
Modern air source units maintain heating capacity in cold Denver winters with variable-speed compressors
Air-to-air heat pumps handle both heating and cooling, eliminating dual equipment maintenance
Wheat Ridge's level lots allow flexible outdoor unit positioning for optimal airflow and access
Technicians verify duct capacity matches fan coil airflow to avoid pressure imbalances and noise

About This Service
Air source heat pumps in Wheat Ridge transfer heat between indoor and outdoor air for year-round comfort in established residential areas adjacent to Lakewood. Flat terrain and metro soil simplify outdoor unit placement on concrete pads without the rocky ground complications common in nearby foothills. Cold winters and dry air require systems with reliable defrost cycles and humidity management to prevent indoor air from becoming uncomfortably dry during heating season.
Ducted air source systems integrate with existing forced-air ductwork in older Wheat Ridge homes, while mini-split configurations suit additions or homes without ducts. Outdoor units along Kipling Parkway and Wadsworth Boulevard must be positioned away from property lines to meet noise ordinances and avoid disturbing neighbors. Refrigerant lines run through exterior walls or attics, with proper insulation to prevent heat loss and condensation.
Performance testing verifies heating capacity at outdoor design temperature, refrigerant charge for Denver metro elevation, and defrost cycle timing. 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.

“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!”
