Technicians certified in refrigerant handling and ground loop installation
Performance testing verifies efficient operation with correct loop flow rates
Familiar with drainage planning for creek valley terrain and gentle slopes
“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), refrigerant connections, loop flow rate testing, and system commissioning for stable earth temperature heating and cooling.
Excavation, HDPE loop burial, refrigerant connections, and commissioning
Loop pressure testing, refrigerant charge correction, flow rate verification
Why Us
Most geothermal installations fail when loop sizing doesn't match the home's actual heating and cooling demand, or when excavation doesn't account for local terrain. Undersized loops force the system to work harder, cutting efficiency and lifespan.
Ground loop installation requires significant excavation, with costs ranging $15,000-$30,000 for most residential properties
Gentle slopes and stream microclimate in Bear Creek require careful drainage planning during excavation
Ground loop damage buried underground requires pressure testing and excavation to repair, adding time and cost
Geothermal systems deliver 3-6 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed, using stable 50-55°F ground temps
Ground-source systems cut heating and cooling expenses 30-60% compared to air source heat pumps or furnaces
Buried HDPE loops last decades longer than outdoor air source units exposed to weather and mechanical wear
Ground temps remain stable year-round, eliminating defrost cycles and efficiency loss during cold snaps
Indoor-only equipment eliminates outdoor condenser noise, preserving peaceful residential surroundings

Who We Help
Geothermal systems make the most sense for new construction or properties with adequate yard space for excavation.
Homeowners near Bear Creek Lake Park with yard space for horizontal loops and long-term energy savings goals
Builders planning geothermal from the start, coordinating excavation before landscaping and hardscaping
Homeowners researching highest efficiency options after comparing air source and geothermal performance data
How We Work
We arrange EPA Section 608 certified technicians to handle excavation, loop installation, and performance testing.
Site Assessment & Loop Design
Technician evaluates yard space, soil conditions, and heating load to design horizontal or vertical loop system sized for your home
Excavation & Loop Installation
Excavation crew digs trenches or bores vertical wells, installs HDPE loops, and pressure tests for leaks before backfilling
System Connection & Commissioning
Technician connects indoor unit to ground loops, charges refrigerant, tests loop flow rates, and verifies heating and cooling modes
About This Service
Bear Creek park-adjacent residential sites use geothermal heat pumps with buried ground loops to provide heating and cooling while minimizing equipment noise near recreational areas. They fit homeowners with yards large enough for loops and those prioritizing long-term operating savings.
Creek valley terrain and gentle slopes require careful drainage planning and erosion control during trenching; where setbacks or tree roots limit horizontal trenches, vertical boreholes are an alternative. Outdoor equipment placement must protect natural drainage and minimize disturbance to green space.
The expected result is stable, efficient heating and cooling with low operating costs, balanced against higher upfront excavation and the difficulty of repairing loop leaks; a site assessment will identify constraints and commissioning verifies loop flow and pressure.

“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!”
