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

Geothermal heat pumps that help Murphy Creek homeowners achieve the lowest heating and cooling costs available

Covering ground loop excavation, closed-loop and open-loop heat exchanger installation, heat pump unit mounting, and performance testing with load calculation reports.

  • Ground Loop Installation

    Excavation, heat exchanger piping, and heat pump connection with testing

  • Site Assessment & Design

    Soil testing and ground loop design for your property and heating load

Why Us

Ground loop systems engineered for flat airport plains and stable year-round efficiency

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.

Common Challenges

  • Uncertain if property suits ground loops

    New single-family homes may lack adequate yard space for horizontal loop installation

  • Upfront cost significantly higher

    Geothermal installation runs $20,000-$40,000 vs $8,000-$15,000 for air source systems

  • Excavation disrupts landscaping

    Ground loop trenching or drilling tears up yards and delays final landscaping completion

How We Help

  • 40-60% lower heating and cooling costs

    Ground temperatures stay 50-60°F year-round, so geothermal systems use less energy than air source models that fight extreme outdoor temps

  • Stable performance during cold snaps

    Ground loop heat exchange maintains efficiency when air source systems struggle below 20°F

  • Closed-loop systems last 50+ years

    Buried polyethylene pipe loops outlast the heat pump unit itself, requiring only indoor equipment replacement after 20-25 years

  • Horizontal loops for flat airport plains

    Murphy Creek's level terrain allows cost-effective horizontal trenching vs expensive vertical drilling

  2. Ground Loop Installation

    Excavation crew trenches horizontal loops or drills vertical boreholes, then installs heat exchanger piping

  3. Heat Pump Connection & Testing

    Indoor heat pump unit is mounted, connected to ground loop, and tested to confirm rated efficiency performance

About This Service

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.

FAQ

Common Questions About Geothermal Heat Pumps

Answers to help you decide if geothermal is right for your Murphy Creek property.

Ground loop excavation tears up finished yards, requiring re-grading and re-seeding. Installing geothermal before final landscaping saves $3,000-$6,000 in restoration costs and avoids disrupting established plants and irrigation systems.
Upfront cost runs $20,000-$40,000 vs $8,000-$15,000 for air source systems. Payback period typically spans 10-15 years. Properties without adequate land for ground loops cannot install geothermal. Excavation disrupts landscaping during installation.
Installation typically runs $25,000-$35,000 for a 2000 sq ft home, including site assessment, ground loop excavation, heat pump unit, and performance testing. Horizontal loops cost less than vertical drilling. Federal tax credits may reduce net cost by 30%.
Geothermal delivers 40-60% lower heating and cooling costs than air source systems. Payback period runs 10-15 years through energy savings. New homes with adequate yard space benefit most, especially when installed before landscaping. Long-term owners see strongest ROI.
Yes. Ground temperatures stay 50-60°F year-round, so geothermal systems maintain efficiency when air source models struggle below 20°F. Ground loop heat exchange is unaffected by outdoor air temperature or steady winds.
Depends on available yard space and HOA approval. Horizontal ground loops require 1,500-3,000 sq ft of open land. Shared green spaces may allow installation if HOA permits excavation. Vertical loops need less surface area but cost more.
Site assessment takes 2-4 hours. Ground loop excavation and installation spans 2-5 days depending on loop type and soil conditions. Heat pump connection and testing adds 1-2 days. Total project timeline runs 1-2 weeks from start to final testing.
No. Work is completed by independent local heat pump technicians in and around Murphy Creek. We review your request and arrange for a suitable technician to contact you with a quote and availability.

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!
