Same-day response across Wheat Ridge neighborhoods along Kipling and Wadsworth
Loop pressure checks and efficiency verification after every installation
“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, heat pump connection, refrigerant charging, and commissioning with flow rate testing.
Excavation, loop burial, heat pump connection, and commissioning with flow testing
Loop pressure checks, refrigerant testing, and efficiency diagnostics
Why Us
Most geothermal installations fail because loop sizing doesn't account for local soil thermal conductivity or heating load. Undersized loops can't transfer enough heat, leaving you with high bills and poor comfort despite the investment.
Ground loop installation requires trenching or drilling, adding $10,000-$20,000 to project cost
Excavation for horizontal loops disrupts landscaping for 2-3 weeks during installation
Horizontal loops need 1,500-2,500 sq ft of yard space, limiting options for compact properties
Ground loops deliver 3-6 units of heat per unit of electricity vs 90% for furnaces
Ground temps stay constant year-round, eliminating cold-weather performance loss
Buried HDPE loops last decades longer than outdoor air source equipment
Highest efficiency means smallest utility bills, offsetting upfront excavation investment
Wheat Ridge's level metro soil allows straightforward horizontal loop trenching

Who We Help
Geothermal systems work best for new construction or properties with adequate yard space for ground loops.
New construction projects with excavation already planned, making ground loop installation cost-effective
Established residential areas with 1,500+ sq ft of yard space for horizontal loop trenching
Long-term owners willing to invest upfront for decades of minimal heating and cooling costs
How We Work
We arrange EPA Section 608 certified technicians to handle ground loop excavation, heat pump 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 are trenched or drilled, then pressure-tested and connected to indoor heat pump unit
Commissioning & Testing
System is charged with refrigerant, flow rates verified, and efficiency tested to confirm proper operation
About This Service
Geothermal heat pump installation in Wheat Ridge benefits from flat terrain and metro soil that simplify horizontal loop trenching. Established residential areas from Applewood to Lumberg typically have adequate yard space for 4-6 foot deep trenches that house ground loops. 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 dry air. Geothermal systems deliver 300-500% efficiency, reducing annual heating and cooling costs to $600-$1,200 compared to $1,800-$3,000 for gas furnace and air conditioning. Horizontal loops require less excavation cost than vertical drilling, typically $18,000-$28,000 total installation. We arrange EPA Section 608 certified technicians who test refrigerant charge and loop flow rates after installation.
Established residential areas along Kipling Parkway and Wadsworth Boulevard near the I-70 corridor often have mature landscaping that requires careful trench routing. Technicians plan loop placement to minimize disruption to trees, gardens, and hardscaping. 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 available.

“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!”
