Systems designed for Front Range winters maintain full heating capacity in freezing weather
Every installation includes sizing assessment to prevent short-cycling and efficiency loss
Local Centennial technicians familiar with executive homes and gated community installations
“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 placement for noise control, refrigerant line connection, indoor air handler setup, load calculation for proper sizing, and efficiency testing to confirm performance.
Outdoor condenser placement, refrigerant line connection, and air handler setup
Manual J assessment to match system capacity to your home's heating and cooling load
Why Us
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.
Semi-arid conditions create 40°F+ daily temperature swings that older air source units struggle to handle efficiently
Executive homes and gated communities with close property lines amplify compressor noise complaints
Systems sized by square footage alone ignore insulation and window area, leading to short-cycling and high bills
Cold-climate compressors use vapor injection technology to deliver full BTU output when older models lose 50% capacity
Strategic placement away from bedroom windows and property lines keeps compressor sound below 55 decibels
Manual J calculation accounts for insulation, window area, and orientation to size system within 10% of actual load
Air source heat pump handles heating and cooling through refrigerant cycle reversal, eliminating dual equipment maintenance
High-efficiency air handlers with variable-speed fans reduce summer electricity usage compared to single-stage AC units

Who We Help
From executive homes to mid-century ranches, we arrange local technicians who size systems for your property.
Homeowners in gated communities with 3,000+ sq ft homes replacing 15-year-old furnace and AC setups
Buyers working with builders near C-470 Highway corridor to specify heat pump systems before closing
Owners of 1960s-1970s ranches near High Line Canal upgrading from single-stage equipment to variable-speed systems
How We Work
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
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.

“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!”
