Service across mesa residential areas near Cottonwood Park and Union Ridge
“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 to verify efficient operation at elevation.
Excavation, loop burial, refrigerant connections, and performance testing
Loop pressure checks, refrigerant charge, and efficiency diagnostics
Why Us
Most geothermal installations fail when loop sizing ignores elevation effects or excavation doesn't account for mesa soil conditions—undersized loops and improper refrigerant charge lead to efficiency loss and premature compressor failure.
Ground loop installation requires excavation that costs $15,000-$30,000 before equipment
Elevated plateau and rocky mesa soil require specialized excavation equipment and planning
Geothermal systems take 10-15 years to recoup upfront cost despite lowest operating expenses
Ground loops transfer heat from stable 50-55°F earth temps vs outdoor air fluctuations
Ground loops sized for 2089 meter elevation and cold air density effects on refrigerant
Stable earth temps eliminate defrost cycles and compressor strain from temperature swings
Buried HDPE loops outlast indoor equipment by decades with no exposure to weather

Who We Help
Geothermal systems make sense for new construction or properties with space for ground loops and a 10+ year ownership timeline.
New builds on Green Mountain mesa with excavation already scheduled for foundation work
Properties with adequate yard space for horizontal loops and long-term ownership plans
Homeowners prioritizing lowest lifetime operating costs over upfront installation expense
How We Work
From site assessment to performance testing, we arrange certified technicians who handle every step of ground loop installation and system commissioning.
Site Assessment & Loop Design
Technician evaluates mesa terrain, soil conditions, and yard space to design horizontal or vertical loop system sized for your home's heating and cooling load at 2089 meter elevation
Excavation & Loop Installation
Ground loops buried in trenches or boreholes, pressure tested for leaks, then connected to indoor heat pump unit with refrigerant lines
Commissioning & Testing
System tested in heating and cooling modes to verify loop flow rates, refrigerant charge, and efficiency performance at altitude
About This Service
Green Mountain mesa homes use geothermal heat pumps to exploit stable ground temperatures across the elevated plateau. Geothermal suits homeowners seeking long-term energy savings and steady year-round comfort where air-source heat pumps can be affected by altitude.
Mesa terrain at roughly 2,089 meters often has rocky subsoil, which makes horizontal trenches impractical and favors vertical boreholes with rotary drilling and grout backfill; that increases mobilization and drilling cost and usually lengthens the schedule. A pre-install ground survey and loop-sizing study clarify bore depth and spacing.
The outcome is consistent indoor temperature and the lowest seasonal energy use, but expect higher upfront drilling costs and a longer lead time; commissioning should include loop pressure checks and measured flow-rate verification.

“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!”
