“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.
Complete heat pump setup with Manual J sizing, refrigerant lines, and performance testing
Old unit removal and new heat pump installation with electrical integration
Wall-mounted units with refrigerant lines for zoned heating and cooling
Why Us
Undersized systems fail during Wheat Ridge's coldest days, leaving you without heat when you need it most. Wrong sizing leads to short cycling, high bills, and premature equipment failure.
Undersized heat pumps can't keep up when temperatures drop below 20°F in Wheat Ridge
Oversized units short cycle and waste energy, undersized units run constantly without reaching temperature
Cold winters and dry air in Wheat Ridge require humidity management most installers skip
Heat pumps sized to your home's square footage, insulation, and window area prevent undersizing failures
Performance testing verifies your heat pump switches to defrost mode correctly during cold Denver winters
Proper refrigerant charge and line insulation prevent efficiency loss and ensure consistent heating output
Local technicians familiar with established residential areas from Applewood to Lumberg neighborhoods
Heat pumps sized to your home's square footage, insulation, and window area prevent undersizing failures

About This Service
Heat pump installation in Wheat Ridge covers established residential areas from Applewood to Lumberg along Kipling Parkway and Wadsworth Boulevard near the I-70 corridor. Flat terrain and metro soil simplify outdoor unit placement compared to foothills properties, allowing straightforward pad installation and refrigerant line runs. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s often replace aging furnaces and central air conditioners with single heat pump systems that reduce energy bills by 30-50% while delivering consistent heating and cooling year-round.
Cold winters and dry air require systems with proper defrost cycles and humidity management to prevent ice buildup on outdoor coils and maintain indoor comfort. EPA Section 608 and NATE-certified technicians size systems based on your home's square footage, insulation levels, and window area, then test refrigerant charge and airflow after installation to verify efficient operation. Many Wheat Ridge homes add mini-split systems to finished basements or sunrooms where extending existing ductwork would be impractical.
Installation cost typically ranges from $8,000 to $14,000 for air source systems including labor, materials, and electrical integration. 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 after installation confirms the system maintains setpoint when outdoor temperature drops to -15°F, the typical winter low for Denver metro neighborhoods.

“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!”
