“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
Air source heat pumps that help Centennial homeowners reduce monthly energy costs while maintaining consistent indoor temperature year-round
Covering outdoor unit placement for noise control, refrigerant line connection, indoor air handler setup, load calculation for proper sizing, and efficiency testing to confirm performance.
Air Source System Installation
Outdoor condenser placement, refrigerant line connection, and air handler setup
Load Calculation & Sizing
Manual J assessment to match system capacity to your home's heating and cooling load
Why Us
Cold-climate models sized through load calculation for Centennial's temperature swings
Air source systems fail when undersized for the home or when older models can't handle Front Range winter temperatures. The wrong system runs constantly without reaching temperature or requires expensive backup heating.
Common Challenges
Temperature swings stress older systems
Semi-arid conditions create 40°F+ daily temperature swings that older air source units struggle to handle efficiently
Outdoor unit noise disrupts neighbors
Executive homes and gated communities with close property lines amplify compressor noise complaints
Undersized systems run constantly
Systems sized by square footage alone ignore insulation and window area, leading to short-cycling and high bills
How We Help
Heating capacity maintained to -15°F
Cold-climate compressors use vapor injection technology to deliver full BTU output when older models lose 50% capacity
Outdoor unit placement minimizes noise
Strategic placement away from bedroom windows and property lines keeps compressor sound below 55 decibels
Load calculation prevents oversizing
Manual J calculation accounts for insulation, window area, and orientation to size system within 10% of actual load
Single system replaces furnace and AC
Air source heat pump handles heating and cooling through refrigerant cycle reversal, eliminating dual equipment maintenance
SEER 18+ ratings cut cooling costs 30%
High-efficiency air handlers with variable-speed fans reduce summer electricity usage compared to single-stage AC units

How We Work
How Air Source Heat Pump Installation Works
From initial assessment to final testing, local Centennial technicians handle every step.
Load Calculation & System Sizing
Technician measures home square footage, insulation levels, window area, and orientation to calculate heating and cooling load, then recommends system capacity within 10% of actual requirements
Outdoor Unit Placement & Setup
Outdoor condenser positioned to minimize noise impact on bedrooms and property lines, mounted on vibration-dampening pad with refrigerant lines connected to indoor air handler
Efficiency Testing & Verification
System tested for refrigerant charge accuracy, airflow balance across all vents, and temperature differential to confirm heating and cooling performance meets manufacturer specifications
About This Service
About this Service
Air source heat pump options for Centennial properties including executive homes, gated communities, mid‑century ranches, and new construction. The guidance targets homeowners and builders dealing with semi‑arid conditions and large temperature swings.
Rolling foothill terrain and well‑drained soils in Centennial make geothermal a practical option on larger lots, while air‑source cold‑climate models or ductless mini‑splits suit tighter lots. Load calculation, outdoor unit setback for noise, and SEER/HSPF ratings are used to match equipment to living spaces.
For large executive homes, ground‑loop geothermal yields higher efficiency but needs civil work and land. For most suburban lots, a cold‑climate air source unit sized by Manual J provides consistent comfort with quieter outdoor placement.
