“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+++”

Comprehensive condition report for homebuyers with repair cost estimates
Why Us
Hidden problems in existing heat pumps lead to thousands in unexpected repair costs after closing. A detailed inspection before purchase reveals issues the seller may not disclose.

Corroded evaporator coils cut heating output by 30% during Edgewater's cold snaps, requiring replacement
Faulty contactors or capacitors lead to complete system failure within weeks of moving in
Pressure testing reveals leaks that visual inspection misses, preventing $2,000+ repair surprises
Aluminum fin corrosion and copper tube condition determine remaining years before replacement needed
Defrost cycle performance verified under Edgewater's dry climate conditions that stress heat pumps
Contactors, capacitors, and wiring checked under operating load to catch intermittent failures
Inspection report includes estimated repair costs for any issues found, informing purchase negotiations

About This Service
Heat pump inspection in Edgewater evaluates system condition for home buyers in compact residential properties near Lakewood borders, or for homeowners preparing mini-split systems for metro winter. Compact residential properties often use mini-split configurations, requiring inspection of multiple indoor heads, refrigerant line sets, and condensate drainage. Pre-purchase inspections reveal hidden refrigerant leaks in line sets or failing indoor fan motors before closing on a Jefferson County home. EPA Section 608 certified technicians test each indoor head, measure refrigerant charge, and inspect line set insulation.
Inspection includes operational testing of all indoor zones to confirm temperature output and airflow, defrost cycle function in cold weather simulation, and proper condensate drainage. Technicians measure superheat and subcooling to detect refrigerant issues, inspect outdoor coil fins for damage, and test capacitor and contactor condition. Mini-split systems require checking each indoor head for proper refrigerant distribution and verifying remote control function. You receive a written report listing system age, remaining lifespan estimate, immediate repair needs for each zone, and maintenance recommendations.
Pre-season inspections catch minor issues in compact residential properties before they become emergency failures during cold snaps near Kipling Street. Inspection does not include repairs, refrigerant recharge, or line set replacement unless separately quoted. Systems over 12 years old often show wear in multiple indoor heads that does not require immediate repair but affects remaining lifespan.

“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!”
