Soil testing and property evaluation to confirm ground loop feasibility before you commit
Horizontal or vertical ground heat exchanger systems sized for your property and heating load
Local technicians familiar with Foxfield estate homes and rural property access
“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 ground loop excavation, closed-loop and open-loop heat exchanger installation, system commissioning, and performance testing with load calculation reports.
Excavation, heat exchanger burial, and system testing with load calculation
Soil testing and property evaluation to determine optimal ground loop configuration
Why Us
Geothermal systems deliver the highest efficiency available, but only when the ground loop is sized correctly and the property has adequate land. Most installation failures start with poor site assessment or undersized heat exchangers.
Prairie soils and flat terrain require soil testing to confirm thermal conductivity before excavation starts
Ground loop excavation and heat exchanger installation costs $20,000-$40,000 more than air source systems
Despite 40-60% lower operating costs, high upfront investment takes over a decade to recover through energy savings
Ground temperatures stay 50-55°F year-round, so geothermal systems use less energy than air source models cycling through extreme temperature range
Ground heat exchange eliminates outdoor temperature dependency, delivering consistent performance during Foxfield's coldest winter days
Buried heat exchanger pipes outlast above-ground equipment by 10+ years, reducing long-term replacement costs
No outdoor condenser unit means quiet operation that preserves the peaceful character of horse property areas and estate homes
Horizontal closed-loop systems spread across acreage properties avoid vertical drilling costs while maximizing ground contact area

Who We Help
Geothermal systems make sense for properties with adequate land and owners who plan to stay 10+ years.
New builds on acreage properties where ground loop installation happens before landscaping and hardscaping go in
Rural properties with flat terrain and prairie soils suitable for horizontal closed-loop heat exchanger systems
Low-density residential properties where quiet operation and long-term energy savings justify higher upfront investment
How We Work
From site assessment to system commissioning, we arrange local technicians who handle the entire process.
Site Assessment & Design
Technician evaluates soil conditions, property layout, and heating load to determine ground loop configuration and system sizing
Ground Loop Installation
Excavation and heat exchanger burial with pressure testing to confirm loop integrity before backfilling
System Commissioning
Heat pump installation, refrigerant charge, and performance testing to verify efficiency targets are met
About This Service
Foxfield properties are typically acreage, estate homes, or ranch parcels where horizontal ground loops are often feasible. The service suits owners with open lots who can accommodate trenching and heavy equipment and who want geothermal efficiency without frequent reliance on air temperatures.
Flat prairie soils in Foxfield make trenching for closed-loop systems practical, but installations must coordinate with septic systems, irrigation, and horse paddocks. Expect multi-day excavation, heavy-equipment access, and a plan to protect existing fencing and landscaping.
The outcome is reduced exposure to extreme temperature swings and lower seasonal energy use; however, installers require clear access and time for site restoration, so the feasibility study must address equipment staging and disruption to rural operations.

“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!”
