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

Heat pump inspections that help Murphy Creek homeowners verify system condition before purchase or repair decisions

Covering load calculation to confirm proper sizing, refrigerant charge verification, electrical connection testing, and heating and cooling output measurement.

  • Pre-Installation Load Calculation

    Manual J calculation confirms proper system sizing for your home's heating and cooling load

  • Heat Pump Performance Inspection

    Airflow measurement, refrigerant check, and efficiency verification with maintenance needs list

Why Us

Load calculation and efficiency verification with every inspection

Most heat pump problems trace back to incorrect sizing or refrigerant charge—an inspection reveals whether the system was installed correctly and if it's still operating at acceptable efficiency.

Common Challenges

  • Don't know if the system is working right

    No baseline for normal operation means you can't tell if performance issues are minor or serious

  • Worried about expensive hidden problems

    Buying a home with an existing heat pump without inspection leaves you exposed to costly repairs

  • Uncertain if repair or replacement is needed

    Performance issues could mean a simple fix or a failing system—no way to know without diagnostics

How We Help

  • Load calculation confirms proper sizing

    Manual J calculation verifies the system matches your home's heating and cooling load requirements

  • Refrigerant charge verification

    Technician measures refrigerant levels and checks for leaks that reduce efficiency by 20-30%

  • Airflow and temperature differential testing

    Measurements reveal if the system is delivering rated heating and cooling output

  • Pre-purchase leverage for negotiations

    Inspection report documents system condition before home purchase, giving you negotiation power if repairs are needed

  • Actionable maintenance needs list

    Technician identifies specific repairs or maintenance tasks without pressure to schedule unnecessary work

About This Service

About this Service

A heat pump inspection in Murphy Creek evaluates systems in new single-family homes and row homes near the airport corridor and Pena Boulevard. It suits buyers, recent occupants, and homeowners concerned about performance during steady winds and occasional cold snaps.

Technicians check defrost cycle operation, outdoor unit mounting and wind exposure, refrigerant levels, compressor start amps, and indoor airflow to confirm system response during cold snaps. Flat airport plains and steady winds influence recommended outdoor unit orientation and protective mounting methods.

The inspection report gives measured heating and cooling output, notes any defrost or control issues, and lists maintenance needs to improve cold-weather performance. It flags present deficiencies and expected limitations during extreme cold but cannot guarantee performance during future severe weather events.

FAQ

Common Questions About Heat Pump Inspection in Murphy Creek

What to expect from a heat pump inspection and how it helps you make informed decisions about repair or replacement.

Inspection cost typically ranges from $150-$300 depending on system type and inspection scope. Pre-purchase inspections with full load calculation and efficiency testing cost more than basic performance checks. Murphy Creek technicians provide transparent pricing before scheduling the inspection.
Buying a home without heat pump inspection leaves you exposed to hidden problems that can cost $3,000-$8,000 to repair or replace. Systems with incorrect sizing, low refrigerant charge, or failing components may appear to work during a home showing but fail within months. Pre-purchase inspection gives you negotiation leverage and prevents surprise repair bills after closing.
Inspection includes load calculation to verify proper sizing, refrigerant charge measurement, electrical connection testing, airflow measurement, and heating and cooling output verification. Technician checks for refrigerant leaks, tests thermostat operation, and inspects outdoor condenser and indoor air handler. You receive a detailed report with findings and maintenance needs list.
Annual inspection before heating season starts catches problems early and maintains efficiency. Systems older than 10 years benefit from twice-yearly inspection to monitor performance decline. Pre-purchase inspection is recommended when buying a home with an existing heat pump regardless of system age.
The 20 degree rule states that heat pumps typically deliver indoor air 15-20 degrees warmer than outdoor temperature in heating mode. If outdoor temperature is 30°F, supply air should be 45-50°F. Lower temperature differential indicates low refrigerant charge, airflow restriction, or failing compressor. Inspection measures actual temperature differential to verify system performance.
Inspection identifies specific problems and estimates remaining system lifespan based on condition. Technician measures efficiency loss, refrigerant leaks, compressor performance, and component wear. If repair costs approach 50% of replacement cost or the system is over 15 years old with declining efficiency, replacement is typically recommended. You receive clear guidance without pressure to schedule work.
Ignoring efficiency decline costs $30-$60 per month in wasted energy as the system runs longer to maintain temperature. Low refrigerant charge forces the compressor to work harder, shortening lifespan by 3-5 years. Complete system failure during Murphy Creek cold snaps means emergency replacement at 20-30% higher cost than planned installation. Early inspection catches problems when repairs are still cost-effective.

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!
