Soil testing and property evaluation to verify ground loop feasibility before you commit
Horizontal or vertical ground heat exchangers designed for your property layout
Technicians familiar with open land properties and modular houses in Arapahoe County
“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 piping, system commissioning, and performance testing
Soil testing, load calculation, and ground loop configuration for your property
Why Us
Geothermal systems require adequate land and suitable soil conditions. Without proper site assessment, you risk excavation complications, undersized ground loops, and systems that never deliver the promised efficiency.
Rural properties need soil testing to confirm ground heat exchanger feasibility before excavation
Geothermal installation runs $20,000-$40,000 vs $8,000-$15,000 for air source systems
High upfront investment takes over a decade to recoup through monthly energy savings
Buried loops exchange heat with 50-55°F ground vs fluctuating outdoor air temperatures
Geothermal systems deliver 4-6 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed
Stable ground temperatures eliminate efficiency losses during extreme weather
Ground loops last 50+ years; indoor heat pump components run 20-25 years with maintenance
Watkins alluvial plains allow horizontal trenching without rock drilling or blasting

Who We Help
Rural homeowners with adequate land exploring the most efficient heating and cooling option available.
Open land properties in Watkins with space for horizontal or vertical ground loops seeking maximum efficiency
Modular houses in country residential areas replacing aging HVAC systems with renewable energy solutions
Builders specifying geothermal systems for new rural homes near E-470 access and Bijou Creek
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 determine ground loop configuration and system size
Ground Loop Excavation
Horizontal trenching or vertical drilling installs closed-loop or open-loop heat exchanger piping below frost line
System Installation & Testing
Heat pump unit installed, connected to ground loop, charged with refrigerant, and performance-tested to verify efficiency ratings
About This Service
Geothermal heat pump installation in Watkins installs a buried ground heat exchanger to move heat between a home and the earth. It suits rural homes and modular houses on open land where space for horizontal trenches or vertical boreholes exists near the property.
Watkins sits on alluvial plains and loose gravel soils, which often allow shallower trenching for closed-loop systems, but a site assessment must measure ground thermal conductivity and groundwater depth before loop design. Proximity to Bijou Creek or airport easements can affect drilling access and require coordination with local authorities.
Expect higher upfront installation cost and a typical 10-15 year payback from lower operating bills compared with air-source systems. Plan for landscaping disruption during excavation; final efficiency depends on correct load calculation and properly sized ground loop.

“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!”
