Service across mesa residential areas near Cottonwood Park and Union Ridge
“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 single-zone and multi-zone installations with wall-mounted indoor units, refrigerant line routing, wireless controllers, and altitude-rated outdoor compressors.
Multiple indoor heads with wireless controllers for room-by-room control
One indoor head for targeted heating and cooling in a single room
Why Us
Most mini split failures on Green Mountain mesa start with improper refrigerant charge at elevation—systems lose heating capacity when cold air density isn't accounted for during installation.
Altitude effects at 2089 meters lower refrigerant pressure, cutting heating capacity by 15-20% if not compensated
Too many homeowners end up with undersized indoor heads that can't keep up with heating demand
Oversized multi-zone systems cycle on and off constantly, wasting energy and driving up monthly costs
Technicians adjust refrigerant levels for 2089 meter altitude to maintain full heating capacity
Indoor heads sized to room volume and insulation, not generic square footage formulas
Independent temperature control lets you heat only occupied rooms, cutting energy waste
Multi-zone systems connect up to 5 indoor heads to one outdoor compressor, avoiding multiple units on mesa homes
Cold-climate compressors maintain heating output when temperatures drop below freezing

Who We Help
Mesa homes with additions, remodels, or rooms needing independent temperature control.
Homeowners finishing basements or adding rooms without existing ductwork on Green Mountain mesa
Mesa homes where some rooms overheat while others stay cold with central systems
Residents wanting to cool home offices or bedrooms without running whole-house AC at elevation
How We Work
From room assessment to altitude-rated performance testing.
Room Assessment & Sizing
Technician measures room volume, insulation, and window exposure to size indoor heads correctly for your mesa home
Refrigerant Line Routing
Refrigerant lines run from outdoor unit to each indoor head, with electrical connections and condensate drain setup
Altitude Performance Testing
Technician tests heating and cooling capacity at 2089 meter elevation, verifying refrigerant charge and wireless controller operation
About This Service
Mini split heat pumps in Green Mountain suit mesa homes that need zoned heating and cooling without ductwork at approximately 2,089 meter elevation. They work well for detached houses, additions, and finished basements where elevation and rocky soil influence equipment placement.
Altitude effects and cold air density require altitude-rated outdoor units (systems rated to -15°F), an adjusted refrigerant charge for elevation, and reinforced outdoor unit pads for rocky soil. Longer refrigerant line sets and an electrical service assessment are common for multi-zone installs on steep driveways or larger lots.
Expected outcome is consistent year-round comfort and lower energy use than resistance heating when systems are sized for elevation. Installers should perform performance testing, verify defrost cycles, and confirm heating capacity within typical operating ranges before completion.

“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!”
