Property with adequate land? Ground loop systems deliver the highest efficiency and lowest operating costs despite higher upfront investment.
“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 site assessment, ground loop excavation, heat exchanger installation, and system commissioning with performance testing
Excavation, heat exchanger installation, and performance testing
Soil testing and ground loop configuration for your property
Why Us
Most geothermal installations fail when contractors skip site assessment or undersize the ground loop, leaving homeowners with a system that never delivers promised efficiency.
Soil conditions and available land determine whether closed-loop or open-loop systems are feasible
Excavation and ground heat exchanger installation cost 2-3x more than air source systems
Long payback makes it difficult to justify financially despite lowest operating costs
Ground stays 50-60°F at depth, so heat exchange efficiency doesn't drop in winter like air source models
Geothermal systems use less energy than air source heat pumps because ground temperature stays constant
Horizontal loops for larger properties, vertical loops for smaller lots, or open-loop systems where groundwater is available
Geothermal systems qualify for 30% federal tax credit on installation costs through 2032

Who We Help
Geothermal systems make sense when you have adequate land and plan to stay in the property long enough to recover the higher upfront cost through energy savings.
Properties with sufficient yard space for horizontal ground loops or soil suitable for vertical drilling
Builders planning geothermal installation during construction to avoid landscaping disruption
Homeowners prioritizing renewable energy and willing to invest upfront for long-term savings
How We Work
From site assessment to final commissioning, we arrange a local Aurora technician to handle every step of ground loop design and installation.
Site Assessment & Design
Technician tests soil conditions, evaluates property layout, and designs ground loop configuration for your heating load
Ground Loop Installation
Excavation or drilling crew installs closed-loop or open-loop heat exchanger system per design specifications
System Commissioning
Heat pump installation, refrigerant charge, and performance testing to verify efficiency and temperature control
About This Service
Geothermal heat pumps use buried ground-loop heat exchangers and a heat pump unit to move heat between your building and stable subsurface temperatures. This service suits Aurora single-family homes, ranch-style houses, and new construction with enough land or drill access that want the lowest operating costs over the system life.
Installations use closed-loop horizontal trenches or vertical boreholes, a circulating pump, and an indoor heat exchanger. Aurora's high plains terrain, clay-rich soils, and pockets of shallow bedrock determine whether horizontal loops or vertical bores are practical and influence drilling depth and equipment needs.
Expect higher upfront installation cost than air-source systems and a typical payback around 10–15 years from energy savings; a site assessment, load calculation, and utility locate set feasibility, timeline, and likely excavation impacts.

“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!”
