Cold-climate air source systems deliver reliable heating down to -15°F with proper sizing and installation for Aurora winters.
“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 outdoor unit installation, refrigerant line connection, indoor air handler setup, load calculation for proper sizing, and efficiency testing to verify performance
Outdoor unit placement, refrigerant line connection, and air handler setup
Manual J calculation to match system capacity to your home's heating load
Why Us
Older air source systems struggled below 20°F, leaving homeowners with backup heating bills and inconsistent comfort. Modern cold-climate models and proper sizing eliminate those problems.
Older air source models lost capacity below 20°F, requiring expensive backup heating
Poor placement near property lines or bedroom windows creates noise complaints
Oversized or undersized units waste energy and never reach comfortable temperatures
Cold-climate compressors maintain 70%+ capacity at -15°F vs 40% for standard models
Refrigerant cycle reverses direction seasonally, eliminating separate furnace and AC units
Heat transfer efficiency beats resistance heating by moving heat instead of generating it
Placement away from bedrooms and property lines reduces noise to 50-60 decibels
Manual J calculation matches system capacity to home's actual heating and cooling load

Who We Help
Whether you're replacing an aging furnace or upgrading from window units, air source systems deliver year-round comfort from a single installation.
Homeowners with aging furnaces and air conditioners seeking single-system efficiency
Builders specifying air source systems for energy-efficient new homes in Aurora
Owners researching cold-climate models after hearing older systems struggled in freezing weather
How We Work
From load calculation to final testing, we arrange local Aurora technicians who size and install systems correctly the first time.
Load Calculation & Sizing
Technician performs Manual J calculation to determine correct system capacity for your home's heating and cooling load
Outdoor Unit Placement
Outdoor unit positioned for optimal airflow and minimal noise impact, with refrigerant lines connected to indoor air handler
System Testing & Verification
Refrigerant charge verified, airflow tested, and system cycled through heating and cooling modes to confirm performance
About This Service
Air source heat pump installation and service for Aurora properties. This covers air-to-air systems and ductless mini-splits suited to single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and new residential builds in the Front Range suburbs.
Installations use cold‑climate air source models rated for operation down to -15°F, Manual J load calculations for correct sizing, and outdoor unit placement to reduce noise and airflow disruption. Technicians confirm refrigerant charge and airflow at elevation to meet specified SEER and HSPF performance targets.
When sized and commissioned correctly, an air source system provides year‑round heating and cooling with lower operating energy than separate furnace and AC. Expect possible supplemental heat during extreme Arctic outbreaks and potential ductwork upgrades for older homes.

“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!”
