“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 like-for-like replacement and upgrade to variable-capacity systems with old unit removal, electrical integration, refrigerant line connections, and smart thermostat compatibility
Direct swap with compatible new model matching your existing capacity and configuration
Variable-capacity system with smart thermostat integration for 30% lower energy bills
Why Us
When your 20-year-old heat pump breaks down repeatedly and repair costs approach replacement price, continuing to patch an outdated system wastes money every month.
20-year-old heat pumps fail often as compressors wear out and refrigerant leaks develop
Older single-stage systems run at full capacity constantly, wasting electricity
Outdated control boards can't communicate with modern Wi-Fi thermostats for remote access
Modern systems modulate between 40-100% capacity to match demand instead of cycling on-off
Variable-capacity operation reduces runtime waste compared to single-stage units
Wi-Fi thermostats let you adjust temperature remotely and schedule heating and cooling
Modern defrost sensors prevent ice buildup on outdoor coils during Bear Creek's cold snaps
Variable-speed fans run at lower RPM most of the time, reducing noise for neighbors

About This Service
Heat pump replacement in Bear Creek's park-adjacent residential properties addresses aging systems while managing noise control and drainage considerations near Bear Creek Lake Park and recreational areas. When a 20-year-old unit breaks down frequently and repair costs approach replacement price, upgrading to a modern unit requires careful outdoor unit placement to minimize noise impact on green space homes. Creek valley terrain and gentle slopes require proper drainage planning to prevent water accumulation around outdoor units.
Replacement involves removing the old outdoor and indoor units, positioning new outdoor units away from property lines and park boundaries, connecting refrigerant lines, and integrating with existing ductwork. Park-adjacent residential properties benefit from quieter variable-capacity systems that reduce noise compared to single-stage units. Stream microclimate and winter chills demand systems with reliable defrost cycles. Creek valley terrain requires drainage pads or elevated mounting to prevent water damage.
Like-for-like replacement swaps an outdated unit with a compatible modern model. Upgrade replacement installs a variable-capacity system with smart thermostat integration for improved comfort, lower energy bills, and quieter operation. Air source systems in Colorado typically cost $8,000-$14,000 including labor and materials. Both approaches include old unit removal, refrigerant recovery, and electrical integration. EPA Section 608 and NATE-certified technicians handle drainage planning, noise considerations, refrigerant lines, and verify airflow after installation near Alameda Creek, Two Ponds, Mount Carbon, and along the C-470 trail and Younker Trail.

“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!”
