Technicians certified in refrigerant handling and ground loop commissioning
Service from Olde Town Arvada to Majestic View and Lutheran Hospital area
Horizontal and vertical loop design for Arvada's alluvial soil 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 ground loop excavation, horizontal and vertical loop installation, heat pump connection, refrigerant charging, and performance testing to verify efficient operation.
Excavation, HDPE loop burial, heat pump connection, and commissioning
Loop pressure testing, refrigerant checks, and flow rate verification
Why Us
Most geothermal installations fail because loop sizing doesn't account for local soil conditions or heating load—undersized loops force the system to work harder, erasing efficiency gains and shortening equipment life.
Ground loop installation requires trenching or drilling, with costs reaching $15,000-$30,000 before equipment
Excavation for horizontal loops tears up landscaping, leaving properties unusable during installation
Horizontal loops need 1,500-3,000 sq ft of yard space, forcing vertical drilling on tight sites
Ground-source systems deliver 3-6 units of heat per unit of electricity consumed vs 2-3 for air source
Ground stays 45-55°F year-round, so no defrost cycles rob heating capacity during cold snaps
Buried HDPE loops outlast above-ground equipment by decades, with 50+ year warranties common
Annual energy savings of $800-$1,500 offset high upfront cost within 8-12 years
Arvada's alluvial soil allows horizontal trenching without rock drilling or blasting

Who We Help
Ground-source systems make sense when you're building new or have space for loops and plan to stay 10+ years.
Builders in Arvada's expanding residential zones installing geothermal before landscaping
Properties with 1+ acres considering ground loops for lowest lifetime operating costs
Residents researching highest-efficiency systems willing to invest upfront for long-term savings
How We Work
From site assessment to commissioning, we arrange certified technicians who size loops correctly and test performance.
Site Assessment & Loop Design
Technician evaluates your property's soil, space, and heating load to spec horizontal or vertical loops
Excavation & Loop Installation
Trenching or drilling crew installs HDPE loops, pressure tests for leaks, and backfills trenches
Heat Pump Connection & Testing
EPA Section 608 certified technician connects heat pump, charges refrigerant, and verifies loop flow rates
About This Service
Geothermal heat pump installation in Arvada's growing residential areas benefits from plains terrain and alluvial soil that simplify horizontal loop trenching. New construction and expanding neighborhoods from Olde Town Arvada to Majestic View and the Lutheran Hospital area typically have adequate yard space for 4-6 foot deep trenches. Flat ground allows straightforward excavation compared to foothills properties requiring drilling. Loop sizing depends on your home's heating and cooling load and available yard area.
Ground temperatures at 6 feet depth remain 50-55°F year-round, providing consistent heat transfer during cold winters and semi-arid air. Geothermal systems deliver 300-500% efficiency, reducing annual heating and cooling costs to $600-$1,200. Horizontal loops require less excavation cost than vertical drilling, typically $18,000-$28,000 total installation. We arrange certified technicians who test refrigerant charge and loop flow rates after installation to verify efficient operation.
Growing residential areas along Ward Road and McIntyre Street near C-470 north often install geothermal during new construction when excavation equipment is already on site. Installing loops before landscaping reduces disruption and cost. Technicians plan loop placement to avoid future hardscaping and utility lines. Excavation takes 2-3 days for horizontal loops, followed by heat pump installation and commissioning. System lifespan extends 20-25 years for the heat pump unit and 50+ years for ground loops, making geothermal the longest-lasting HVAC option for energy-efficient homes in northern Denver metro suburbs.

“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!”
