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

Mini split heat pumps that help Morrison homeowners add heating and cooling to rooms without ductwork

Covering wall-mounted indoor unit installation, refrigerant line routing through exterior walls, outdoor compressor placement on reinforced pads, wireless controller setup, and performance testing for each zone.

  • Multi-Zone Mini Split Installation

    Up to 8 indoor heads connected to one outdoor compressor with wireless controllers

  • Single-Zone Mini Split Installation

    One wall-mounted unit for targeted heating and cooling in a single room

Why Us

Refrigerant lines routed through 3-inch wall penetrations with proper insulation and sealing

Most mini split installations fail when refrigerant lines leak or outdoor units settle on unstable ground, causing loss of heating capacity and high electric bills within the first season.

Common Challenges

  • Uneven temperatures room to room

    Central systems heat or cool the whole house when you only need specific areas conditioned

  • No ductwork in addition or remodel

    Adding ductwork to finished spaces costs thousands and disrupts walls and ceilings

  • High bills from whole house running

    Heating or cooling unused rooms wastes energy when you only occupy a few spaces daily

How We Help

  • Up to 8 zones from one outdoor unit

    Multi-zone systems connect multiple indoor heads to a single compressor via branched refrigerant lines

  • Wireless controller for each zone

    Set different temperatures in each room with independent thermostats and scheduling

  • 3-inch wall penetration per line set

    Refrigerant lines route through exterior walls without cutting joists or running ductwork

  • Reinforced outdoor pads for rocky ground

    Compressor units mount on concrete pads anchored to Morrison's mountainous terrain

  • Systems rated to -15°F operation

    Cold-climate mini splits maintain heating capacity in Morrison's harsh winter temperatures

How We Work

How Mini Split Installation Works

From site assessment to performance testing, we arrange certified technicians to install your ductless system correctly.

  1. Site Assessment & Sizing

    Technician measures each room's heating and cooling load to determine indoor unit capacity and outdoor compressor size

  2. Line Set Routing & Installation

    Refrigerant lines route through 3-inch wall penetrations with proper insulation and exterior sealing

  3. Performance Testing & Verification

    Technician tests heating and cooling modes in each zone, verifies refrigerant charge, and confirms wireless controller operation

About This Service

About this Service

Morrison-area mini split heat pumps address foothills residences that face mountainous terrain and cold, high-elevation winters. They suit homeowners near Red Rocks or Mount Falcon who need ductless zoned control for additions or whole-room replacements.

Rocky ground and uneven sites require custom outdoor unit placement, reinforced pads, or elevated mounts to resist snow and debris. Harsh winters make low-temperature-rated compressors and reliable defrost cycles essential; choose technicians certified in low-temperature heat pump installation for Colorado foothills.

When sized and performance-tested, mini splits give precise zone control and reduce runtime compared with running full-house systems. Expect additional site work and careful capacity verification to ensure heating performance during extended cold snaps.

FAQ

Common Questions About Mini Split Heat Pumps in Morrison

Clear answers about ductless systems, installation, and performance in Colorado's foothills climate.

Space heaters cost 3-4 times more to operate than mini splits per BTU of heat delivered. A 1,500-watt space heater running 8 hours daily costs roughly $40 monthly at Colorado rates, while a mini split heating the same space costs $12-15. Delaying installation means overpaying for heat every month while risking fire hazards from overloaded circuits.
Most 2000 square foot homes need 2-4 indoor units depending on layout and insulation. Open floor plans may need fewer units, while homes with many closed rooms need more. A technician measures each room's heating and cooling load to determine the right number of zones and indoor unit capacity.
High bills usually result from undersized units running constantly, refrigerant leaks reducing efficiency, or leaving units on in unoccupied rooms. Properly sized mini splits with correct refrigerant charge cost 30-40% less to operate than baseboard heat or window AC units. Performance testing after installation verifies efficient operation.
Cold-climate mini splits rated to -15°F maintain full heating capacity in Morrison's mountain climate. Modern units use variable-speed compressors and enhanced vapor injection to deliver heat efficiently below freezing. They cost less to operate than electric baseboard or propane heat while providing cooling in summer.
Wall-mounted indoor units are visible and may not suit every interior design preference. Multi-zone systems require multiple wall penetrations for refrigerant lines. Installation costs more upfront than window AC units but less than adding ductwork. Filters need cleaning monthly to maintain airflow and efficiency.
Single-zone systems typically cost $3,000-5,000 installed, while multi-zone systems range $5,000-12,000 depending on the number of indoor units and refrigerant line routing complexity. Morrison's rocky terrain may require reinforced outdoor pads, adding $200-400. Federal tax credits reduce upfront cost by 30% for qualifying systems.
Yes, outdoor compressor units mount on reinforced concrete pads anchored to rocky ground. Technicians assess site conditions during the initial visit to determine pad placement and refrigerant line routing through exterior walls. High elevation does not affect mini split performance when systems are sized correctly for heating and cooling loads.

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!
