“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 old unit removal, electrical integration, refrigerant line connections, and performance testing for like-for-like or upgrade replacement
Swap existing unit with compatible new model of similar capacity
Variable-capacity system with smart thermostat and improved efficiency
Why Us
When repair costs approach replacement price and your old heat pump breaks down every season, upgrading to a modern unit makes financial sense.
Older heat pumps fail repeatedly as compressors, reversing valves, and fans wear out
Aging systems run at 60-70% efficiency vs 90%+ for modern variable-capacity units
When a single repair exceeds 50% of replacement cost, continuing repairs wastes money
Variable-capacity compressors adjust output to match heating and cooling demand precisely
New heat pumps connect to Wi-Fi thermostats for remote control and scheduling
Efficient operation reduces electricity consumption by 20-30% compared to older models
Qualified heat pumps meeting efficiency standards eligible for Inflation Reduction Act credits

About This Service
Heat pump replacement in Lakewood replaces outdated or failing air‑source or ductless systems with modern units sized for Denver metro homes and foothills elevations. It suits Jefferson County residences, owners prepping a home for sale, and households tired of frequent breakdowns or high running costs.
Replacements range from like‑for‑like swaps to upgrade replacements with variable‑capacity compressors and smart thermostat integration. Work typically includes old unit removal, refrigerant line connections, electrical integration, and commissioning by technicians holding EPA Section 608 and NATE certification.
Expect measurable reductions in seasonal energy use and quieter operation after commissioning; at high elevation, systems must be rated to -15°F and require refrigerant charge adjustments. Hidden ductwork or electrical upgrades can increase cost and extend downtime during the swap.

“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!”
