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 Murphy Creek homeowners heat and cool new homes efficiently year-round

Covering outdoor unit placement on flat airport plains, refrigerant line connection, indoor air handler setup, and efficiency testing for cold-climate performance.

  • Air Source System Installation

    Outdoor unit placement, refrigerant line connection, and air handler setup

  • Load Calculation & Sizing

    Manual J assessment to match system capacity to your home's heating load

Why Us

Cold-climate models rated for airport corridor conditions

Many air source systems fail in Murphy Creek winters because they're sized for mild climates or installed without accounting for steady winds and cold snaps that stress outdoor units.

Common Challenges

  • Steady winds stress outdoor units

    Airport corridor winds accelerate heat loss from outdoor coils, forcing systems to work harder and reducing efficiency

  • Cold snaps below -10°F trigger backup heat

    Standard air source systems lose capacity in extreme cold, switching to expensive electric resistance heating

  • New homes sized incorrectly from start

    Builders often install undersized systems in master-planned developments, causing comfort issues immediately

How We Help

  • Full heating capacity down to -15°F

    Cold-climate compressors maintain output during Murphy Creek cold snaps without backup heating

  • Outdoor unit placement shields from wind

    Strategic positioning on flat airport plains reduces wind exposure and protects coil performance

  • Load calculation prevents undersizing

    Manual J assessment accounts for new home insulation and square footage before equipment selection

  • SEER 16+ and HSPF 10+ ratings

    High-efficiency models reduce monthly energy costs by 30-40% versus electric resistance heating

  • Single system for heating and cooling

    Air source heat pumps eliminate separate furnace and AC units, simplifying maintenance schedules

About This Service

About this Service

Air source heat pump installation in Murphy Creek covers new single-family homes and row homes in Arapahoe County's master-planned development near Denver International Airport and Pena Boulevard. Flat airport plains and steady winds affect outdoor unit placement and system performance, requiring cold-climate models rated for airport corridor conditions. New home subdivisions and family residential growth areas allow system sizing during construction, preventing undersized installations common in retrofit projects.

Row homes and new single-family homes in Murphy Creek neighborhood feature modern construction with improved insulation and energy-efficient windows, reducing heating and cooling loads compared to older Aurora properties. Airport corridor area and eastern Aurora community locations experience consistent wind patterns that increase heating loads during cold snaps. Master-planned development and modern housing tracts sometimes include builder-installed HVAC systems, but specifying heat pumps during construction reduces long-term energy costs. Flat airport plains offer no natural windbreaks, so outdoor units require placement that accounts for wind exposure while maintaining airflow clearance.

Local Arapahoe County technicians assess Murphy Creek properties near Murphy Creek Golf Course, recommend cold-climate air source systems rated for steady winds and airport corridor conditions, and complete installation with follow-up service. Load calculations account for new construction insulation levels and wind exposure effects. Systems rated SEER 18 or higher and HSPF 10 or higher reduce energy costs for family residential growth areas in eastern Aurora community.

FAQ

Common Questions About Air Source Heat Pumps in Murphy Creek

Answers to questions about cold-climate performance, system sizing, and installation for Murphy Creek new homes.

Standard air source systems lose 30-50% heating capacity below 20°F, forcing backup electric resistance heating that costs 2-3 times more to run. During Murphy Creek cold snaps below -10°F, your system runs constantly without reaching temperature, and monthly heating bills can exceed $400. Cold-climate models maintain full output down to -15°F, eliminating backup heating and saving roughly $1,200 annually in energy costs.
Cold-climate air source heat pumps use variable-speed compressors and enhanced vapor injection to maintain heating capacity down to -15°F. Outdoor unit placement on flat airport plains shields coils from steady winds, preventing heat loss. During cold snaps, the system extracts heat from outdoor air and transfers it indoors through refrigerant cycle, delivering consistent warmth without backup heating.
The $5000 rule suggests replacing equipment when repair costs exceed half the price of new installation. For Murphy Creek new single-family homes, air source heat pump installation typically costs $8,000-$12,000 depending on system size. If repair costs approach $4,000-$6,000, replacement with a cold-climate model delivers better long-term value and efficiency.
Air source heat pump installation for a 2000 square foot Murphy Creek home typically costs $9,000-$11,000 including load calculation, outdoor unit, refrigerant lines, indoor air handler, and efficiency testing. Cold-climate models rated for -15°F performance add $500-$1,000 versus standard systems. Final cost depends on insulation levels, ductwork condition, and outdoor unit placement requirements on flat airport plains.
The 20 degree rule states standard heat pumps struggle when outdoor temperature drops 20+ degrees below desired indoor temperature. Cold-climate models eliminate this limitation, maintaining full heating capacity down to -15°F. For Murphy Creek homes set to 70°F indoors, cold-climate air source systems deliver consistent warmth even during airport corridor cold snaps without backup heating.
Modern cold-climate air source systems operate at 50-60 decibels, similar to normal conversation. Strategic placement on flat airport plains away from bedroom windows and property lines minimizes noise impact. Variable-speed compressors run quieter than single-stage units, and sound-dampening pads further reduce vibration. Technicians assess placement options during site visit to balance efficiency and noise concerns.

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!
