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 repair that helps Aurora homeowners restore heating and cooling when systems fail

Covering compressor diagnosis, refrigerant charge correction, electrical troubleshooting, and component replacement to get your system running again

  • Heat Pump Diagnosis & Testing

    Compressor amperage, refrigerant pressure, and electrical continuity testing to pinpoint failures

  • Component Repair & Replacement

    Compressor, coil, capacitor, and contactor replacement to restore system operation

  • Emergency Repair Service

    Same-day response during peak heating and cooling seasons across Aurora

Why Us

Diagnostic testing before repair starts so you know what's wrong

Most heat pump failures stem from compressor issues, refrigerant leaks, or electrical faults that worsen when ignored, leading to complete system replacement instead of a targeted repair.

Common Challenges

  • System runs constantly without reaching temperature

    Heat pump cycles nonstop but indoor temperature never hits the thermostat setting, wasting energy and leaving you uncomfortable

  • Harsh winter freezes expose refrigerant leaks

    Aurora's cold Colorado winters down to -15°F accelerate refrigerant loss, causing heating capacity to drop when you need it most

  • Uncertain if repair or replacement makes sense

    Repair costs approaching $2,000-$3,000 make you wonder if replacement is the smarter long-term investment

How We Help

  • Diagnostic report before repair quote

    Technician tests compressor amperage, refrigerant pressure, and electrical continuity to pinpoint the exact failure before quoting repair cost

  • Compressor replacement extends system life 5-10 years

    Failed compressor replacement on a 7-year-old system costs $1,500-$2,500 but avoids $8,000-$12,000 full replacement for another decade

  • Refrigerant charge correction restores heating capacity

    Proper refrigerant charge brings heating output back to manufacturer spec, eliminating constant cycling and high energy bills

  • Emergency service during peak seasons

    Same-day response when your heat pump fails during Aurora's harsh winter freezes or hot dry summers keeps your home comfortable

  • Warranty on component repairs

    90-day to 1-year warranty on replaced parts means you're covered if the same component fails again

About This Service

About this Service

Heat pump repair in Aurora city neighborhoods serves single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and ranch-style houses across Arapahoe, Adams, and Douglas counties. It suits homeowners facing system downtime during cold Colorado winters or performance loss in hot, dry summers.

Cold-climate air-source models rated to -15°F commonly show defrost cycle, crankcase heater, and refrigerant-charge issues here; technicians check defrost controls, reversing valves, and refrigerant pressures during the diagnostic. In multi-unit buildings expect access constraints and stacked ductwork that change how indoor air handlers and refrigerant lines are serviced.

Capacitor swaps, contactor replacements, and controlled refrigerant repairs typically restore performance quickly, but during extended freezes an older system may need temporary electric heat. Technicians will schedule a follow-up performance check after repairs.

FAQ

Common Questions About Heat Pump Repair in Aurora

Answers to help you understand repair costs, timelines, and when replacement makes more sense.

Ignoring constant cycling causes the compressor to overheat and fail completely within 6-12 months. Emergency compressor replacement during peak heating season costs $2,500-$3,500 vs $1,500-$2,000 for planned repair. Early diagnosis identifies refrigerant leaks or electrical issues before compressor damage occurs, saving $1,000-$1,500 in avoided failure costs.
Delaying repair during harsh winter freezes down to -15°F leaves your home without heat, risking frozen pipes that cost $2,000-$5,000 to repair. Emergency service during peak season adds 20-30% to repair costs vs scheduled service. A failed heat pump also forces electric resistance backup heat that triples energy bills until the system is fixed.
Refrigerant leaks are the most common issue, causing reduced heating and cooling capacity. Low refrigerant makes the compressor work harder, increasing energy bills by 20-40%. Technicians locate the leak, repair it, and recharge refrigerant to manufacturer spec. Ignoring leaks leads to compressor failure within 1-2 years, requiring $2,000-$3,500 replacement.
Most heat pumps under 10 years old can be repaired if the compressor and coils are intact. Repair makes sense when cost is under 50% of replacement and the system has 5+ years of expected life remaining. Technicians assess system age, repair cost, and remaining lifespan to recommend repair or replacement honestly.
The $5,000 rule says if repair cost multiplied by system age in years exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually smarter. Example: $1,500 repair on a 4-year-old system equals $6,000, suggesting replacement. But a $1,200 repair on a 3-year-old system equals $3,600, making repair the better choice. This rule helps compare repair vs replacement value.
Simple repairs like capacitor or contactor replacement take 1-2 hours. Refrigerant leak repair and recharge takes 2-4 hours. Compressor replacement requires 4-8 hours. Emergency repairs during peak heating or cooling season may take longer due to high demand. Technicians provide estimated completion time after diagnosing the problem.
Yes, reputable Aurora technicians provide 90-day to 1-year warranty on labor and replaced parts. Manufacturer warranties on new components like compressors typically cover 5-10 years. Warranty terms are explained in the repair quote before work starts. If the same component fails during the warranty period, repair is covered at no additional cost.

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!
