Hidden issues in existing heat pumps lead to unexpected failures and repair costs. Get pre-purchase or pre-season inspections to evaluate system condition.
“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 refrigerant level testing, electrical component evaluation, coil condition assessment, and heating and cooling mode performance verification
Operational test before winter or summer with maintenance needs assessment
Comprehensive condition report for home buyers with lifespan estimate
Why Us
Most heat pump problems hide until the system runs under load. Without testing both modes and checking refrigerant levels, you risk buying a unit that fails within months or missing critical issues before winter.
Slow leaks reduce efficiency for months before total failure, costing hundreds in wasted energy
Buying a home with a failing heat pump means immediate replacement costs of $8,000-$15,000
Worn components reduce heating output by 20-30%, driving up utility bills all winter
EPA Section 608 certified technicians measure refrigerant charge and test for leaks using electronic detectors
Operational testing confirms temperature output meets manufacturer specs in both modes before you buy
Condition report documents compressor hours, coil wear, and electrical component status to predict replacement timeline
Detailed findings let you negotiate repairs or price adjustments with sellers before finalizing purchase

About This Service
A heat pump inspection in Lakewood (Denver, CO) is a systematic evaluation of an air‑source, ductless mini‑split, or geothermal heat pump for pre‑purchase decisions and pre‑season readiness. It suits home buyers, homeowners, and small commercial owners across the Denver metro and foothills who need a technical condition assessment.
Inspections are carried out by EPA Section 608 and NATE-certified technicians and include operational testing in heating and cooling modes, refrigerant charge verification with manifold gauges, electronic leak detection, electrical amp and voltage checks, coil and blower condition, airflow and Delta T measurement, and defrost cycle verification. Cold‑climate performance to roughly -15°F and altitude effects on refrigerant pressures are evaluated.
The outcome is a written condition report with a remaining‑life estimate, a prioritized repair list, and estimated repair costs. Inspections cannot guarantee detection of intermittent faults that only appear under prolonged or extreme conditions; further monitoring or targeted diagnostics may be advised.

“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!”
