Urban flatland simplifies horizontal loop excavation and reduces install time
“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, refrigerant connections, and performance testing for stable earth temperature systems
Excavation, loop burial, heat pump connection, and commissioning testing
Loop pressure checks, refrigerant charge, and efficiency testing
Why Us
Geothermal systems require precise loop sizing and excavation planning. Undersized loops or improper refrigerant charge lead to inefficient operation and high bills despite the ground-source advantage.
Ground loop installation requires significant excavation, making upfront cost higher than air source systems
Horizontal loop trenching or vertical drilling extends installation timeline beyond standard heat pumps
Compact residential properties may lack yard space for horizontal loop fields or drilling access
Ground temps stay 50-60°F year-round, delivering 3-6 units of heat per unit of electricity consumed
Ground-source systems avoid air source defrost mode, maintaining consistent heating during cold snaps
Buried polyethylene loops outlast indoor equipment by decades, reducing long-term replacement costs
Stable ground temps mean less energy to move heat, cutting annual utility bills 30-60% vs air source
Urban flatland in Edgewater allows horizontal trenching without terrain challenges or rock excavation

Who We Help
Ground-source systems make sense for new construction or properties with adequate yard space for loop installation.
New builds in Jefferson County with excavation already planned for foundation and utilities
Homeowners researching options and prioritizing lowest operating costs over upfront investment
Edgewater homeowners evaluating whether their lot size supports horizontal loop fields or vertical drilling
How We Work
We arrange EPA Section 608 certified technicians to handle ground loop excavation, system installation, and performance testing.
Site Assessment & Loop Design
Technician evaluates your property's soil, available space, and heating load to design horizontal or vertical loop system
Excavation & Loop Installation
Ground loops buried in trenches or vertical boreholes, then pressure-tested before backfilling
System Commissioning & Testing
Heat pump connected to loops, refrigerant charged, and performance tested to verify efficiency ratings
About This Service
Geothermal heat pump installation in Edgewater's compact residential properties often requires vertical loops instead of horizontal trenching due to limited yard space. Vertical loops drill 150-400 feet deep in a small footprint, making them suitable for Jefferson County compact homes near Lakewood borders. Drilling takes 1-2 days per borehole, with 2-4 boreholes typical for most homes. Flat ground and urban soil simplify drilling access.
Ground temperatures at 150+ feet depth remain stable year-round, providing consistent heat transfer during cold snaps and dry climate. Vertical loop systems deliver 300-500% efficiency in a smaller yard footprint than horizontal trenching. Installation cost runs $22,000-$32,000 including drilling, loop installation, heat pump unit, and commissioning. We arrange EPA Section 608 certified technicians who test system performance after installation to verify efficient operation.
Compact residential properties along Kipling Street and Sheridan Boulevard with I-25 proximity may also benefit from mini-split geothermal systems that provide zoned control without ductwork. Vertical loops paired with mini-split indoor units allow room-by-room temperature control while maintaining highest efficiency. Drilling disrupts landscaping minimally compared to horizontal trenching. System lifespan extends 20-25 years for the heat pump unit and 50+ years for ground loops, making geothermal the most durable option for small-lot properties.

“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!”
