“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 with compatible models and upgrade replacement to variable-capacity systems with smart thermostat integration
Compatible new unit with same tonnage and electrical requirements as existing system
Variable-capacity heat pump with smart thermostat and improved SEER rating for lower bills
Why Us
Most replacement failures start with improper sizing or refrigerant charge—units that work at sea level underperform at 5,400 feet, leaving you with uneven heating and wasted energy.
Aging compressors and refrigerant leaks mean repair calls every season, with costs adding up fast
Older heat pumps run at 60-70% efficiency vs 90%+ for modern units, wasting hundreds annually
Outdated controls lack Wi-Fi connectivity and zoned temperature management modern systems offer
Modern units modulate output 25-100% vs old single-speed on/off cycling, cutting bills 30%
Wi-Fi thermostats let you adjust temperature from anywhere and track energy usage in real time
Technicians adjust charge for Lakewood's 5,400-foot altitude, ensuring full heating capacity below freezing
Manufacturer warranties cover compressor and heat exchanger, eliminating major repair costs for a decade

About This Service
Heat pump replacement in Lakewood swaps failing units in foothills and Denver metro houses for modern systems suited to high elevation air. This service fits single‑family homes across Belmar, Green Mountain, and Bear Creek where cold winters and rocky soil affect placement.
Practical work covers reinforced outdoor unit pads for uneven or rocky ground, proper refrigerant charging for altitude, and commissioning to verify heating capacity down to -15°F. Options include like‑for‑like installs or upgrades to variable‑capacity units with smart thermostat integration.
Outcomes are lower energy bills and consistent year‑round comfort once performance testing is complete. Expect additional time or cost if older electrical panels, hidden duct leaks, or restrictive yard access require remediation before final commissioning.

“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!”
