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

Heat pump replacement that helps Edgewater homeowners eliminate frequent breakdowns and high energy bills

Covering old unit removal, electrical integration, refrigerant line connections, and performance testing to verify heating and cooling capacity in Colorado's climate

  • Like-for-Like Replacement

    Direct swap with compatible new model including old unit removal and testing

  • Upgrade Replacement

    Variable-capacity heat pump with smart thermostat integration for better efficiency

Why Us

Variable-capacity systems tested for cold snap performance

When a 20-year-old heat pump breaks down repeatedly, repair costs climb toward replacement price while energy bills stay high. The wrong replacement decision means overpaying upfront or getting stuck with another inefficient system.

Common Challenges

  • Frequent breakdowns drain savings

    Older units fail repeatedly, with each repair costing $300-800 while efficiency drops

  • Repair costs approach replacement price

    When repair quotes exceed 50% of replacement cost, you're paying twice for the same problem

  • Outdated models lack smart controls

    20-year-old systems can't integrate with modern thermostats or zoning controls

How We Help

  • Variable-capacity compressors cut bills

    Modern units modulate output 25-100% vs old single-speed on/off cycling, reducing energy waste

  • Cold snap heating down to -15°F

    New heat pumps maintain capacity in Edgewater's cold snaps without backup resistance heat

  • Smart thermostat integration included

    WiFi-enabled controls let you adjust temperature remotely and track energy usage

  • Old unit removal and disposal

    Complete teardown of existing system including refrigerant recovery and equipment haul-away

  • Performance testing verifies capacity

    Post-install testing confirms heating and cooling output matches manufacturer specs

About This Service

About this Service

Heat pump replacement in Edgewater targets compact residential properties near the Lakewood border where outdoor space is limited. It suits owners of smaller homes seeking efficient heating and cooling without major ductwork changes.

Space constraints often make ductless mini‑split configurations the practical choice; installers plan condenser siting for minimal visual and noise impact on narrow lots. Cold snaps and the dry climate mean systems should have robust low‑temperature defrost performance.

A properly sized mini‑split replacement delivers zoned comfort and lower energy use. Expect careful routing of refrigerant lines and possible permit requirements for exterior condenser placement in compact neighborhoods.

FAQ

Common questions about heat pump replacement in Edgewater

Get answers about replacement costs, timing, and what to expect during the process.

Older units lose 20-30% efficiency over their lifespan. Delaying replacement means paying $400-800 more annually in energy costs while risking mid-winter failure when emergency replacement costs 20-30% more than planned installation. Frequent breakdowns add $300-800 per repair, quickly exceeding replacement cost.
When repair costs exceed 50% of replacement price, you're paying twice for the same problem. The repaired unit still has aging components that will fail soon. A new heat pump delivers 90%+ efficiency vs 60-70% for old units, saving $600-1,200 annually in energy costs that offset replacement investment.
Yes. Heat pumps last 15-20 years. At 20 years, efficiency has dropped significantly and parts are harder to find. Modern variable-capacity units deliver 30-40% better efficiency, lower energy bills, and smart thermostat compatibility that older models lack. Replacement prevents mid-winter failure and high emergency costs.
Replacement cost ranges $5,000-12,000 depending on system size, efficiency rating, and installation complexity. Like-for-like replacement costs less than upgrading to variable-capacity. Federal tax credits up to $2,000 and utility rebates can reduce upfront cost. We provide itemized quotes before work starts.
The $5,000 rule states: multiply repair cost by system age in years. If the result exceeds $5,000, replace instead of repair. Example: $800 repair on a 15-year-old unit = $12,000, so replace. This rule helps avoid throwing money at aging equipment that will fail again soon.
Yes. Technicians assess your existing space and recommend systems that fit. Mini-split heat pumps work well in compact residential properties with limited space. If ductwork is undersized, we identify that during assessment and provide options for ductless or ducted solutions sized correctly for your home.
Heat pumps last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Replace when repair costs exceed 50% of replacement price, efficiency drops significantly, or the unit is over 15 years old. Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, and inability to maintain temperature signal it's time for replacement.

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!
