All technicians certified in refrigerant handling and system testing
Verify heating capacity meets specs at Golden's altitude and climate
Scheduled service before heating and cooling seasons with priority response
“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 filter cleaning, coil inspection, refrigerant level checks, electrical connection testing, and performance verification at elevation
Filter cleaning, coil inspection, refrigerant check, and performance testing
Scheduled service before heating and cooling seasons with priority response
Why Us
Skipped maintenance leads to clogged filters, dirty coils, and low refrigerant that reduce efficiency and cause sudden failures in Golden's mountain climate.
Clogged filters force the system to work harder, increasing energy use by 15-20%
Pine needles and dust accumulate faster in foothills, blocking heat transfer
Elevation affects refrigerant charge; improper levels cut heating capacity by 30%
Technicians verify refrigerant levels match Golden's altitude for proper heating capacity
Clean or replace air filters to maintain manufacturer-rated airflow and efficiency
Indoor and outdoor coil cleaning removes debris that blocks heat transfer
Tighten terminals and test voltage to prevent component failure from loose wiring
Measure heating and cooling output to verify system meets manufacturer specifications
Technicians verify refrigerant levels match Golden's altitude for proper heating capacity

About This Service
Heat pump maintenance in Golden addresses Rocky Mountain foothills terrain where high altitude cold and snowy winters stress systems beyond metro Denver norms. Annual tune-ups cover properties from Clear Creek to Lookout Mountain and Genesee where elevation affects refrigerant performance and defrost cycles work harder. Technicians clean or replace air filters, inspect coils for pine debris and road salt spray near I-70 west, verify refrigerant charge matches altitude specifications, and test electrical connections that corrode in mountain weather.
Mountain terrain and rocky foothills expose outdoor units to harsher conditions than flatland installations. Snow accumulation around condensers blocks airflow and triggers low-pressure faults. Road salt spray from I-70 west corrodes coil fins and electrical terminals faster than in protected locations. Refrigerant charge must account for altitude or heating capacity drops significantly when outdoor temperatures fall below 0°F during January cold snaps.
Biannual service before heating and cooling seasons starts prevents failures when mountain weather turns severe. Altitude-rated systems add complexity that requires EPA Section 608 certified technicians trained in high-elevation refrigerant charging. Performance testing after service verifies your system delivers rated BTUs at outdoor temperatures down to -15°F and altitude-corrected refrigerant pressures match manufacturer specifications for Golden's elevation.

“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!”
