Soil testing and property evaluation to confirm ground loop feasibility before you commit
Horizontal or vertical ground heat exchangers designed for Murphy Creek soil conditions
Local technicians familiar with master-planned developments and new construction
“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, heat pump unit mounting, and performance testing with load calculation reports.
Excavation, heat exchanger piping, and heat pump connection with testing
Soil testing and ground loop design for your property and heating load
Why Us
Geothermal systems deliver the highest efficiency ratings available, but only when the ground loop is sized correctly and the property has adequate land. Most installation failures start with skipped site assessments or undersized loops that never reach rated performance.
New single-family homes may lack adequate yard space for horizontal loop installation
Geothermal installation runs $20,000-$40,000 vs $8,000-$15,000 for air source systems
Ground loop trenching or drilling tears up yards and delays final landscaping completion
Ground temperatures stay 50-60°F year-round, so geothermal systems use less energy than air source models that fight extreme outdoor temps
Ground loop heat exchange maintains efficiency when air source systems struggle below 20°F
Buried polyethylene pipe loops outlast the heat pump unit itself, requiring only indoor equipment replacement after 20-25 years
Murphy Creek's level terrain allows cost-effective horizontal trenching vs expensive vertical drilling

Who We Help
Property owners in master-planned developments with adequate land for ground loop systems.
Homeowners closing on new single-family homes who want geothermal installed before landscaping
Row home residents exploring whether shared green space allows ground loop installation
Arapahoe County residents prioritizing renewable energy and long-term operating cost reduction
How We Work
From site assessment to final testing, we arrange local technicians who handle every step.
Site Assessment & Design
Technician evaluates soil conditions, property layout, and heating load to design the ground loop system
Ground Loop Installation
Excavation crew trenches horizontal loops or drills vertical boreholes, then installs heat exchanger piping
Heat Pump Connection & Testing
Indoor heat pump unit is mounted, connected to ground loop, and tested to confirm rated efficiency performance
About This Service
Geothermal heat pumps suit Murphy Creek new single-family homes with adequate yard space for ground loop installation, typically 1,500-3,000 square feet for horizontal closed-loop systems. Master-planned development and new home subdivisions allow ground loop installation before landscaping, minimizing disruption and reducing costs compared to retrofit installations. Flat airport plains near Pena Boulevard and Murphy Creek Golf Course simplify excavation and loop placement, making horizontal loops at 4-6 feet depth the most cost-effective option.
Upfront costs for Murphy Creek geothermal installations run $20,000-$40,000 for new builds, with horizontal loops costing less than vertical drilling. Monthly energy savings of $120-$220 produce payback periods of 10-14 years. Steady winds and cold snaps near Denver International Airport make geothermal especially attractive because ground temperatures stay stable at 50-60°F year-round, eliminating the efficiency losses air source heat pumps experience during extreme cold and wind exposure.
Local Arapahoe County technicians work with builders to assess lot size, soil conditions, and heating load during construction planning. Family residential growth areas and airport corridor conditions require systems sized for modern construction standards. Geothermal systems suit Murphy Creek homeowners prioritizing long-term energy savings and sustainability, especially when installed during new construction to minimize upfront costs and disruption.

“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!”
