Stable earth temperatures deliver the lowest operating costs and longest lifespan—geothermal systems built for decades of efficient heating and cooling.
“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 ground loop excavation, horizontal or vertical loop installation, heat pump connection, refrigerant charging, and commissioning with flow rate and pressure testing.
Excavation, HDPE loop burial, heat pump connection, and commissioning
Loop pressure checks, refrigerant service, and efficiency testing
Why Us
Most geothermal failures trace back to undersized loops or improper excavation—inadequate loop length means the system can't extract enough heat, leading to high bills and short equipment life.
Ground loop installation requires trenching or drilling, making initial investment significantly higher than air source systems
Excavation for horizontal loops can take weeks and leaves your yard torn up during the process
Buried loops that develop leaks require excavation to find and repair, adding time and cost
Geothermal systems deliver 3-6 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed, far exceeding air source heat pumps
Ground temps stay 50-60°F year-round, so your system never struggles in Denver's coldest or hottest days
Buried HDPE loops last decades longer than outdoor air source equipment exposed to weather and UV
Stable earth temps mean your compressor works less, cutting heating and cooling bills by 40-70% vs conventional systems

Who We Help
Geothermal systems make the most sense for new construction or properties with adequate yard space for ground loops.
New construction projects with open yards where excavation happens during site prep, avoiding retrofit disruption
Properties with 1+ acres where horizontal loop trenches fit without crowding landscaping or structures
Long-term owners willing to invest upfront for decades of lowest possible heating and cooling costs
How We Work
We arrange EPA Section 608 certified technicians to handle ground loop excavation, heat pump installation, and commissioning.
Site Assessment & Loop Design
Technician evaluates your property, soil conditions, and heating load to design horizontal or vertical loop system sized for your home
Excavation & Loop Installation
Trenches or boreholes are dug, HDPE loops are laid and connected, then pressure-tested before backfilling
Heat Pump Connection & Testing
Indoor heat pump unit is installed, refrigerant lines connected to ground loops, and system commissioned with flow rate and efficiency verification
About This Service
Geothermal (ground-source) heat pumps in Lakewood use buried ground loop systems to move heat between your building and stable earth temperatures. The service suits homeowners and light commercial properties aiming for the highest seasonal efficiency, long system life, and low ongoing energy use, particularly new construction or properties with enough yard area for loops.
Installations use either horizontal trenches or vertical boreholes and closed-loop piping. In Lakewood's foothills and rocky soils, vertical boreholes of roughly 150–400 ft per hole are common and increase drilling complexity. Proper loop pressure testing, flow-rate balancing, and refrigerant charge verification are required during commissioning.
The expected outcome is consistent heating and cooling with coefficients of performance (COP) often above 4 under steady ground temps and the lowest operating expenses among heat pump types. Plan for higher upfront excavation and a multi-year payback; a site survey and utility locates determine final feasibility and scope.

“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!”
