All technicians certified in refrigerant handling and ground loop installation
Service across Lakewood foothills from Green Mountain to Morrison
Loop flow rates and refrigerant charge verified for altitude efficiency
“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, refrigerant connections, and commissioning with flow rate and pressure testing.
Excavation, HDPE loop installation, and heat pump commissioning with flow testing
Pressure testing, leak location, and efficiency restoration for buried loops
Why Us
Most geothermal failures start with undersized loops or improper excavation. Rocky soil and altitude demand systems designed for Lakewood's conditions from the start.
Ground loop installation requires trenching or drilling, making initial investment significantly higher than air source systems
Lakewood's terrain demands specialized excavation equipment, adding time and cost to horizontal loop installation
Buried loops with pressure loss require excavation to find and repair, unlike accessible outdoor units
Ground temperatures stay 50-55°F regardless of season, delivering consistent COP above 3.0 vs air source fluctuation
Stable ground temps eliminate efficiency loss during cold winters and hot summers, cutting utility bills 40-60%
Buried HDPE loops outlast equipment by decades, with heat pump units replaced every 20-25 years
Ground loop eliminates noisy outdoor compressor, with all equipment housed indoors or in mechanical room
Loop length and refrigerant charge adjusted for Lakewood's altitude, preventing underperformance in thin air

Who We Help
Geothermal systems make sense for new construction or properties with space for ground loops and commitment to lowest operating costs.
Building in Belmar or Green Mountain with excavation already scheduled for foundation work
Homes with 1,500+ sq ft of open yard for horizontal loop trenching or access for vertical drilling
Homeowners prioritizing lowest lifetime operating cost over upfront investment, planning to stay 10+ years
How We Work
We arrange EPA Section 608 certified technicians to handle excavation, loop installation, and commissioning with performance testing.
Site Assessment & Loop Design
Technician evaluates yard space, soil conditions, and heating load to spec horizontal or vertical loop system
Excavation & Loop Installation
Ground loops trenched or drilled, HDPE piping installed with proper depth and spacing, pressure tested before backfill
Equipment Install & Commissioning
Heat pump connected to loops, refrigerant charged for altitude, flow rates and performance verified with testing
About This Service
Geothermal heat pump installation in Lakewood covers Jefferson County residences from Belmar to Green Mountain and Bear Creek. It fits homeowners with larger lots or new builds in the Lakewood foothills who want the lowest long-term energy use and are prepared for groundworks and site access needs.
Foothills terrain and rocky soil around Lakewood often make horizontal loops impractical, so vertical closed-loop drilling is the usual method; rigs need clear access and may require reinforced staging areas. Expect a site-specific geotechnical check, utility locates, and several days to weeks of on-site work depending on loop layout and restoration needs.
Owners get steady year-round performance less affected by Denver's cold winters, and operating costs lower than air-source systems. However, anticipate higher initial excavation and drilling costs and plan decisions around a site survey and verified performance testing before commissioning.

“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!”
