“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 new system installation, heat pump replacement, and ductless mini-split setup with refrigerant line connections, electrical integration, and performance testing after commissioning.
Complete setup with sizing, outdoor unit placement, refrigerant lines, and performance testing
Old unit removal, new system install, electrical integration, and commissioning
Wall-mounted units for zoned heating and cooling without ductwork modifications
Why Us
Most installation failures start with improper sizing or skipped commissioning—undersized units struggle below freezing, and untested refrigerant levels cause breakdowns within the first season.
Units too small for your home run constantly in cold weather, driving up electricity costs without delivering consistent heat
Improper refrigerant line setup or duct integration leaves some rooms cold while others overheat
Skipped performance testing means defrost cycles fail when temperatures drop, leaving you without heat
Load calculations match heat pump capacity to your square footage and insulation, preventing undersizing
Pressure testing and vacuum procedures ensure refrigerant stays sealed, avoiding efficiency loss
Performance testing confirms heating mode works in Arvada's coldest weather before we leave
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling, eliminating dual equipment and reducing maintenance
Heat pumps transfer heat instead of generating it, cutting energy use by 30-50% vs resistance heating

About This Service
Heat pump installation in Arvada covers growing residential areas from Olde Town Arvada to Majestic View and the Lutheran Hospital area along Ward Road and McIntyre Street near C-470 north. Plains terrain and alluvial soil allow straightforward outdoor unit installation without the reinforced pads required in foothills properties, reducing installation cost by $500 to $1,000 compared to mountain terrain. Cold winters and semi-arid air require systems with reliable defrost cycles and humidity management to prevent ice buildup on outdoor coils and maintain indoor comfort during Denver metro cold snaps.
Growing residential areas include new construction homes where builders install heat pumps instead of separate furnaces and air conditioners, reducing equipment cost and simplifying HVAC design. Certified technicians size systems based on Manual J load calculations that account for insulation levels, window area, and air sealing, then test airflow and refrigerant charge after installation to verify efficient operation. Many Arvada homes add mini-split systems to finished basements or home offices where extending existing ductwork would require cutting through finished ceilings.
Installation cost for air source systems ranges from $8,000 to $14,000 including labor, materials, electrical integration, and performance testing. Federal tax credits cover up to 30% of installation cost, and Xcel Energy rebates reduce upfront expense by $2,500 or more for qualifying high-efficiency systems. Performance testing confirms the system maintains setpoint when outdoor temperature drops to -15°F and verifies defrost cycles operate correctly during northern suburbs winter conditions.

“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!”
